Take a Tour With Me.

Hi! I’m Miranda, and that’s my crew.  Let me be your tour guide through this awesome, new venue we have to connect us to each other and to our Kentuckiana community, but first, please allow me to introduce myself.  I’m a Louisville girl who resides in Southern Indiana with my husband and three children.  If I’m not training for an actual marathon, I’m certainly running in the marathon of motherhood and life.  As a former Cardinal athlete, my heart bleeds red, of course, for my University of Louisville Cardinals, and, as a crafty girl, there’s usually a glue gun in my hand whenever I have a spare moment.  Well, enough about me… let’s get right to the tour.

It is the hope of Today’s Family magazine, that this blog will not only entertain and inform you, but will connect you to your community through local giveaways, interviews with local professionals, articles from parent-writers, and keep you up-to-date about local happenings (can you say “Shermageddon”?). 

You’ll find an area on your right where you can go ahead and follow us through Google Friends Connect (we’d love that).  You can also get all of our updates right in your inbox by simply entering your email address in the box on the right.  Of course, feel free to just go to www.todaysfamilyeveryday.com any time you want to check in (hint: we suggest you do that daily for the next couple of weeks).  Also, we’d love to keep in touch with you via Twitter and Facebook.  Just click on those icons on the upper right to connect with us.

So, without further ado, we, at Today’s Publications, are pleased to present to you, Today’s Family Every Day. 

Enjoy!
Miranda Popp
Editor, Today's Family Every Day
