Hello, ADG Families family!

This is the final edition of our weekly ADG Families newsletter.

Thank you for reading these emails over these past 19 (sometimes harrowing, usually challenging, sometimes wonderful) months.

We are refocusing our email newsletters to better serve readers’ needs, which have changed greatly since March 2020, when the You Know What turned all of our lives upside down. Today, our families are no longer trapped at home and casting frantically around for ideas to keep kids busy and adults sane. The pandemic definitely isn't over, but we aren’t so overwhelmed anymore.

The ADG Families page isn't going away. I will add new links to the collection every week, and it will remain an easy place to look up children’s book and movie reviews, parenting advice columns, news items of interest to families.

You know where to find it. Just add “Families” to arkansasonline.com, like this: arkansasonline.com/families.

I hope you will take this opportunity to sample one of our other newsletters. Click here to see the list of what’s available. We think you’ll enjoy The Article, our weekly guide to news and culture in the Natural State, so we’ll send you an edition of it on Thursday. If you like it, please sign up to continue receiving it.

We appreciate your support!
