Last Friday, Wasabi Media Group became a three year old company. While most birthdays are celebrated with cake and presents, we have decided to mark this occasion in a different manner. Rather than commemorating this milestone with the focus on WMG, we want to celebrate by giving.
The editorial team has chosen four different charities to partake in this event. Each of these charities has been aligned with a specific article on a different property and will publish this morning. For the next two weeks we will keep track of the number of Facebook Likes each article receives. The

How Time Flies
It seems hard to believe, but next week marks the third birthday of Wasabi Media Group. So much has changed over those 1,095 days, that it seems appropriate to glance back.
What did things look like when WMG launched? In July 2008, we were comprised of twenty-two of our current twenty-four sites. The Wasabi team was much smaller, consisting of ten writers, a part-time designer, and a part-time programmer. Yours truly served as editor and sales manager, among other various roles. We published twenty-five articles in a successful week and had approximately 4,000 visitors each month.

Good Ol’ Dad
This past Sunday we celebrated the lesser advertised parental holiday, Father's Day. Although all of my evidence is anecdotal, I do believe Father's Day receives a lot less recognition than it should. Mother's Day is placed on a pedestal, as we are barraged with ads reminding us to show our love to mom.  Of course, I think moms deserve a day of appreciation, but I also believe that dads deserve the same level of attention and gratitude.

Beginning or End?
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
--Winston Churchill
Why is it that so many people focus on the end of things instead of seeing the beginning that lies ahead? At this time of year, I see an overwhelming number of articles dedicated to the sadness of graduation and the end of the school year. While I understand that change can be trying at times, isn't the thought of growth and achievement worth it?
This same logic can be applied to more than parenting.Â

It’s Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Summer
According to the calendar, summer doesn't begin until June 21st, but it sure is starting to feel like summer around here. The kids are counting the days left in school (more than they'd like thanks to snow days); our chicks are in their outdoor coop; local produce items are available. With temperatures expected to be near 97 today, summer does seem to be calling.
While summer may be a time of work for many, the season does lend itself to a slower pace and vacations. What goes better with summer than a list of books to read while laying

Long Weekends. . .
Long weekends seem to be one of those things that most people can agree upon: they're quite enjoyable. While it may not be a day off for everyone (yours truly included), it does tend to confuse our schedules for the rest of the week. Multiple times this week I've found myself thinking it was a different day than it actually was. So, while Friday will arrive delightfully early this week, it does make the other days a little harder to keep track of.
That being said, Editorially Yours is a day behind this week, as there were still as
