Newsletter August 2024
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 all the pieces, but I did get deeply side-tracked into sorting out the cards from two different games that had been shuffled together. (This broke my own rule – don’t start organising a mess that is inside a box, until all the messes outside the box are sorted out!)

We’ve also been sorting through the all metaphorical “cards” (well, more like sticky notes) that hold all our ideas for a refreshed version of the Home Routines app. Those don’t fit in such a tidy box!
Our first version was released in 2010 (!) so we’re excited to have a chance to add a wee bit of flair, some more flexibility, and some useful features to help you break down tasks and focus on what’s most important.
We are thrilled with how many folks have joined our mailing list to keep up with what’s happening with the app. Thank you!
We have so many ideas (too many, maybe?) and have a lot of them in development already. so we thought it would be a good idea to check in and let you tell us what’s most important
⭐️ What is on your wish list for the
Home Routines app? ⭐️
We’ve made a very short Google survey (now closed)
It is anonymous and has only three questions:
- Do you use the Home Routines app?
- Which of our imagined new features do you like the sound of?
- And an open text box for you to add any other thoughts
- (favourite parts of the current app, wish list items, or anything else)
You can click here to complete it if you like! (No pressure!)
We look forward to hearing from you!
You’re also welcome to email us anytime if that suits you better.
Enjoy the rest of August, we will see you next month!
