Happy New Year…I can surely say that it feels like a decade since I last sat down to work with Wonder Worms. Amazing how the time flies. During our hiatus we have listened and learned, re-evaluated, and are in the process of re-vamping Wonder Worms as you know it. Oh, and I almost forgot… we relocated from Colorado back to California over the summer, in an effort to be closer to our family. Certainly those things don’t explain my absence completely but is at least a small part of where I have been and what I have been doing.

Thanks to our wonderful subscribers, we received some valuable feedback as to the flow of the site and the activities. We listened because this site is for YOU after all and we want you to be using it to the fullest. Besides, I want to know that I am giving you the best that I can. After launching and putting the website out there, we have realized that there is a better way to run this site and we are working out the final kinks.

So what does this mean for you? Well, hopefully it will work better into your schedule and your family lifestyle making it a little easier. In all of my enthusiasm, it turns out that I was over doing it a bit….many of you didn’t get to an activity everyday. I certainly don’t want to add more pressure to your daily routine by giving you a “schedule” . Instead of doing a subscription, we are going to have bundles so that you can choose which books to get and how often. I want you to be successful in doing these activities so that you continue to visit and shop as well as sharing this site with your friends.

Another way we are changing has to do with the types of activities I am planning. I have thought of a new format that will hopefully allow you to pick and choose your activities based on your interest, time and resources. Each book will have an Art, Cooking, Call To Action, Fieldtrip and lastly, a Group or Community piece to do. I will explain all of those in detail…don’t worry. If you are motivated to do all, awesome…if you can only realistically do 3, fine. What and how much you want to do is based on YOU! Nothing will “build” on anything else anymore. You can choose to skip over a day or two if you want or need to and it won’t affect any other activity.

Lastly, the activities won’t be so lengthy. I know I have a tendency to over indulge and over explain something and sometimes….it is just too much. So, my promise to you is to shorten and simplify as much as possible so you don’t have to read a novel to participate in a book activity.

I hope to also add in some fun pages with exciting new ideas that may not be related to reading specifically. A personal BLOG so to speak…just to show you who I am and what I like doing. Who knows, you may even see some handmade merchadise appear and some other goodies. Raffles are my favorite so maybe we will have a contest or book recommendation section so I can have give aways, sounds fun huh?

I encourage you to check back soon and keep me on your radar so you don’t miss a beat. 2010 is going to be a good year…I can feel it, can you?
