    What do you think so far?

    You can now read the entire Cherry Family Saves the Lonely Cat Man story in a simple slideshow. Check it out! (doesn't work on mobile) Please share it, especially if your kids were involved.

    Now that we have completed our first story and I have a few weeks of posts done, I would love your feedback. This site is an experiment, an idea that feels like it could work but I have never seen anything like it done the way I am trying to do it. It is a total one man show right now, and I am working on multiple other things while I update nearly daily, so I am having to keep it simple. I am no web design wizard, that is for sure.

    Here are some things I would love honest feedback on...

    • The comments section is rarely used. Why do you think this is?

    • Do you find your kids want to come back to the site? What is their reaction to the content?

    • Do you read the emails that come out, or do they go to spam?

    • Does the site load OK? Does it navigate well?

    • Are there things you think would improve your experience?

    I would love any feedback you have to offer. You can email me or comment below. Thanks so much for your time, and for visiting this web site.

    -Ethan
