Monday and Our Facebook Fans

I love hearing my daughters get up in the morning.

At this stage of their lives, they happily bound out of bed (or crib in Story's case) each morning, yell down the steps, "Good morning, Daddy!" and are singing Top 40 Pop Songs within 5 minutes of waking up.

Even on Monday.

That makes me smile.

(Even with the Top 40 songs coming out of their mouths).

As my regular readers know, I'm running a marketing agency and start-up website and have the privilege of being the "Morning Guy" between 6:30am-8:45am, i.e. getting the girls off to school because my wife starts her day at the crack of dawn.

I went about the combing of hair, packing of lunches, and dressing of girls for school with extra bravado today. Part of the reason for the spring in my step was that it's now Q4 (hello October) and other part was this simply...how can you not smile when your two-year-old is singing the new Britney Spears song while eating Apple Jacks?

I mean...come on.

(Okay...so my parenting might need a tune-up - Apple Jacks and B.S. combo concerns even me).

As for lunches, today I packed...

• P&J sandwiches (Jif & Grape Smuckers)
• Martin's Cheese Curls
• Jello Pudding
• Fresh seedless red grapes
• Water
• And my daily, hand-drawn note for my 1st grader, Raina (see attached here).

As for work, I pulled our reporting on Stage of Life's monthly visitor traffic, Facebook Fan activity (we're closing on 1,400 "Likes"), member sign-ups, and Quantcast rank.

All continue to grow.

It's exciting.

I love working on our on Stage of Life concept. Everyday we provide...

• A place for people an opportunity to share their lives
• A place for teachers to encourage their students to write more as we supply free lessons plans and education resources
• A place for students to explore blogging
• A place for everyone to enter national writing contests
• A place for consumers to save money with relevant coupons tailored to a stage of life
• A place for merchants to reach new customers
• B2B loyalty marketing services for our clients to succeed in building loyalty with their members using our merchant partnership relationships
• and so much more...

It's a good Monday.

Till tomorrow.
