Family News
May is always such a beautiful month in Pennsylvania, with spring in full swing. We enjoyed picking fresh strawberries at my brother’s house when they were away, riding bikes, and playing in the backyard. Tashia and I attended a wedding for my cousin, we had friends over, and took the girls to some playgrounds. Tashia enjoyed a few days with her sisters at their annual yard sale, went on a few coffee dates with me and her sisters, and enjoyed browsing a local greenhouse selecting her favorites for her birthday.

Behind The Scenes
A big focus this month was finalizing all the new membership perks. This included creating our new merch, finalizing some trail guides, releasing the new Divi Trail Committee membership, adding the perks to our existing Divi Adventure Club membership, and making sure all the other new perks like bookmarking, mark completed, and blog comment reorganization were implemented. Next, I will work on gradually highlighting each new thing in blog posts, videos, and emails.
Another thing I am excited about is our work on SureCart addons. We are very close to releasing a new Services addon, which creates a Fiverr-like experience for selling custom services on your own website.
And like I shared many times before, I am still busy getting our website ready for the BETA launch of WP SiteLauncher! If you have not singed up for the waiting list for more info, please be sure to do that here: https://wpsitelauncher.com/ I think June could be the month we launch!
