PeKu Publications
It's June, which means that graduation season is in full swing. All (?) college and university graduations are done, but many preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools have graduations ahead. Campbell High School, which is my town's school, celebrates graduation this Friday night. On Wednesday, they will hold their Senior Night at which I will present the third annual PeKu Publications scholarship.
Of course, I can't announce the person who is receiving this award, that is a huge secret! However, I can share how much I enjoy being able to provide a scholarship to a college-bound senior. This

June 2014 Highlights
Over the last 6+ years, I have spent a great amount of time thinking about the building and growing of PeKu. Initially my goals were to add content. This meant that I spent a lot of time writing articles. As we grew, I added more writers to help me increase the amount of articles we were publishing on a weekly basis. As the number of articles and readers grew, so did our revenue, which allowed me to add an editor to help with overseeing all of the articles we published. PeKu continued to snowball: more writers, more

Let’s Try That Again
A week ago Sunday, on Mother's Day, I awoke feeling under the weather. An optimist, I hoped it would pass, but it did not. Mother's Day was spent sleeping. I felt badly, not only because I was ill but because I knew the kids and my husband had planned a great day. With no way to change that day's situation, I decided to schedule a do-over. So, yesterday we spent the afternoon together- a walk along the beach and boardwalk, lobster rolls and clam chowder at an oceanside restaurant, card games at home, and finally ice cream

PeKu and Playdough
Over the past few months I have spent a good amount of time making changes to PeKu. These changes have been bigger than typical site redesigns or article additions. In fact, as I reflect upon the changes I've made it makes me think of using playdough with my children when they were little. Sitting with them at their preschool-sized table, we would take the warm playdough that we had made and create a variety of items. What I liked it about it was that you could imagine anything you wanted, shape, and reshape until your form was

Moving On
My first article of the month usually is a highlight of what to expect in the coming month. This month I am taking a different approach to the column, as I want to focus on two members of the PeKu team.
In April's Highlights column, I wrote that we were adding three new columnists to assist with upcoming transitions. The first of those transitions occurred at the end of April when Bea V. and Louise v. d. H. wrote their last articles for PeKu. These two writers are special to PeKu (and me) for several reasons.
