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 listening to a wide range of music.  From something fast-paced during a workout to current hits while doing rote projects to classical music while in deeper thought to a little jazz or lounge music while cooking, music is a great part of my day.  This love of music made my present even more special.  Not only did my kids and husband remember the holiday, they also chose something that reflects me instead of giving me flowers or candy. The few hours spent in the high school auditorium were delightful.  Although our high school is small, the caliber of artists was amazing.  From the singing ability to the comedic timing, this drama club knows how to put on a terrific show.  Spending 2-1/2 hours laughing and clapping with my husband was the perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday. Finally, although I am not a huge fan of watching television, being able to sit with our teens and laugh at the same jokes was a great way to bond.  Our days are busier, as are our nights, and time spent together can be hard to find.  So, if watching a show that we all like brings us together, why not? Entertainment is something that gives all of us a way to relax and take a break from our regular schedules.  At PKP, we provide insight into some of the best tv shows, albums, books, sporting events, and other entertainment options. Take a peek at this section to see what's new.]]> http://www.pekupublications.com/let-us-entertain-you/feed/ 0 http://www.unionleader.com/article/20130505/NEWS02/130509617 http://www.unionleader.com/article/20130505/NEWS02/130509617#comments Mon, 06 May 2013 19:25:29 +0000 Gennadiy D http://www.pekupublications.com/?p=2621 http://www.unionleader.com/article/20130505/NEWS02/130509617/feed/ 0 http://www.pekupublications.com/highlighting-myself/ http://www.pekupublications.com/highlighting-myself/#comments Mon, 06 May 2013 14:00:46 +0000 Michele Pesula Kuegler http://www.pekupublications.com/?p=2619

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 find the article at the Union Leader's website. I am incredibly proud of the company I have built and the successes we have achieved.  This is due in no small part to the amazing team of writers, editors, engineers, and designers that makes PKP run.  I am honored to have been highlighted and to be surrounded by such talented people. Happy reading!]]> http://www.pekupublications.com/highlighting-myself/feed/ 0 http://www.pekupublications.com/fun-games/ http://www.pekupublications.com/fun-games/#comments Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:00:17 +0000 Michele Pesula Kuegler http://www.pekupublications.com/?p=2614

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. Level Revel, the aforementioned gaming publication, has many new items of note.  First, we are launching a redesign of the website today.  To keep its look fresh and new, we have added new images and colors to the publication.  We still will feature a game of the month to highlight one of the best selling games as part of the homepage. We have increased the number of articles we are publishing on a weekly basis.  The newest column highlights tricks, tips, and cheats.  Now, not only will you be able to learn whether a game is worth purchasing or not, we will give you advice on how to excel in your playing strategy.  No more will you be stuck at a difficult level; we will help you advance! Finally, this week we will be highlighting the C2E2, also known as Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo.  Get first-hand perspective on this year's convention via our columnist.  I know that I am interested to read the highlights. Gaming may not be my hobby, but I think we do a fine job of keeping our readers up to date on the best games and essential gaming tips.  For those of you that enjoy video games, give Level Revel a peak.]]> http://www.pekupublications.com/fun-games/feed/ 0 http://www.pekupublications.com/take-a-moment/ http://www.pekupublications.com/take-a-moment/#comments Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:55:58 +0000 Michele Pesula Kuegler http://www.pekupublications.com/?p=2610

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.  ]]> http://www.pekupublications.com/take-a-moment/feed/ 0
