⭐️ Happy New Year, friends! ⭐️ I hope 2026 has started well for you. We had a quiet break at home, reset the house after hosting Christmas, and are wondering what this new year will bring. The school year starts in late January here in New Zealand, right at the peak of summer. I fondly recall the smell of fresh stationery on those first, hot days back. Those memories of sharp HB pencils and crisp new exercise books are probably why a lot of us…
We’re happy to announce that we have brought back the Daily Messages feature to the app.
Hello, friends! Good news – we finally released the new Home Routines app! If you pre-ordered it earlier it may already be on your device, but otherwise you can find it in the App Store. Give it a try! This is a brand new, free app, separate from the “Classic” version, and it won’t overwrite or replace the original. We have already received some detailed feedback from folks who have downloaded it so far, and we appreciate it so much! It makes such a difference…
Home Routines 4 is now available in the app store!
Hi friends, Just wanted to send a quick note and say we are still alive and working on our new app. We are really looking forward to sharing it with you all! We’re sorry that we didn’t manage to release it in 2024 as we intended. At this time of year, all the social media messages are pushing the idea of huge, aspirational goals – “A New Year, a New You.” I am myself not immune to thinking a new journal and a nice new…
Hello friends, I hope September treated you well and that you are safe and sound from the terrible storms. It’s springtime here in New Zealand, but we still enjoy some of the trappings of the Northern Hemisphere’s autumn. (I do look forward to my yearly pumpkin spice latte as we get further into the month) The teens have already dragged Tim down to the local beach for their first swim of the season, but it is far too chilly for me at this stage! ⭐️ New features survey results…
Hello friends, Seems like August is zooming past us! We will have family visitors around this weekend for our daughter’s 20th birthday, so I’ve been whipping around, tidying up here and there. Today I tackled a (slightly overloaded) shelf of tabletop games in the living room. Time passes, interests and energy levels change, so we’ll be sending some old games off to new homes, and others will be packed away elsewhere for now. Fortunately we’re past the age of having little kids who tip out…
Hello, friends! How is your June going? It’s the middle of winter, here in New Zealand. Where we are (Auckland) it’s pretty mild, so for me this just means a light cardigan on errands day. Or a puffer jacket if I go for a walk down the chilly beach (for mental health purposes, and to say hello to local dogs) ⭐️New Home Routines app later this year!⭐️ We’ve been working hard at a refreshed version of Home Routines. Our first version was released in 2010…
