MOXIE MOM on Life & Kids
Farewell news
Last night our family arrived home from Stehekin, a small community at the north end of Lake Chelan, and after being unplugged for a few days, I turned on my computer to learn that Neighborhood Kids will be going offline. It was sudden news to me as much as to all of you who use the website.
On the one hand, I am very sorry to see the site go. I love being able to recommend it to new families (and old families) as a resource for what’s going on in town. I also love blogging for it (although, yes, I have been a flaky blogger this summer).
On the other hand, I also know the amount of work it takes to sustain a site for nothing, and the energy drain it can be, both in time and money. A Seattle friend of mine maintains a family travel website for Pacific Northwest families, and she went through this exact angst a couple months ago. I think enough of us talked her into keeping it going that she’s giving it a second whirl, but it might not last.
So, while I am sad to see Neighborhood Kids go, I can understand why it’s going.
Sigh.
In the meantime, we have until August 31. Stay tuned. I can’t wait to tell you about Stehekin. It’s such a cool place.

This is as sad as when the Children’s Museum closed.
