A while back, we had a post here on the Bur Bur and Friends Community Blog called “Putting Family First, How do we Make it a Priority?”. The article talks about the importance of family rituals and creating our own traditions with our kids. Perhaps this year is a time to do something new or different with your kids to create memories for them. (more…)
Family values are important to us and a motivating factor in what helped us during the creation of the award winning Bur Bur and Friends children’s book series and products. We believe it is important to educate kids about sports and outdoor exploration in diverse ways. We also wanted to encourage families to get active together and to do it in a way that reflects the real world of today.
This time of year is a perfect opportunity for us to think about all we have to be thankful for. We want to express our gratitude for your ongoing support through purchasing our products and telling others about the good messages we are working to get out to families and communities all over the world.
On behalf of Farmer’s Hat Productions, we want to thank you for your support and wish you all the very best. May you take time to slow down and enjoy the beauty in this time of year. We look forward to staying connected.
Wishing you and yours happy holidays with warmest personal regards.
JoAnne and Kakie
