Reflecting upon my Mother's Day, the central theme of the day was entertainment. Along with the breakfast of scones made by my children, I was presented with a gift certificate for an evening comprised of dinner and a concert. In the afternoon, my husband and I attended the matinee performance of our local high school's musical in which one of our daughters did the makeup for the actors. In between dinner and dessert, our family sat together and watched some of our favorite shows that we had stored on our DVR.
Music is central to my day. I thoroughly enjoy

Highlighting Myself
I like to think of myself as a modest person. While I do enjoy the limelight, I also am glad to defer to others. Self-deprecating humor comes naturally to me. However, there are times when it is important to take center stage and acknowledge your accomplishments.
Thus, today instead of highlighting a new design or showcasing an upcoming feature, I am proud to share an article that was written about me. The Union Leader, based in Manchester, New Hampshire, published an article about me and how I built PeKu Publications from a hobby into an ever-growing publishing company. You can

Fun & Games
I've mentioned it previously, but I am not a fan of gaming. I don't have Angry Birds on my smartphone. I don't relax in the evening with an XBOX game. I can count on one hand the number of games I've played on the Wii that we've had in our house for years. However, I oversee a publication that focuses only on gaming, and because of that (and the fact that I have children that enjoy gaming) I try to stay abreast of gaming news and trends.

Take a Moment
In this column I usually share new designs, new features, and generally promote PKP. Today, however, I won't be doing that.
Today marks one week since the horrific Boston Marathon bombings. Like many other people, I have had moments of shock and sadness in the past week.
At 2:50 this afternoon, the city of Boston will hold a moment of silence in honor of the victims. In support of this, the team at PeKu extends our sympathies to the victims and their families and expresses our gratitude to all of the heroes.

Spring Color
Having spent some time in Florida last week, I was a bit envious of the beautiful display of colors there. Lush lawns, blooming flowers, and sprouting gardens added brightness to their yards. Returning to New Hampshire, I was reminded that spring arrives more slowly, as I drove by yard after yard with yellow and tan lawns. The good news was that most of the snow had disappeared during my time away.
While we can't plant much outside as this point, we can begin to plan for our growing season. Whether it be turning over garden beds, adding mulch where needed,
