Welcome to May! May, the month where we see our first potential sunburns and sold-out aisles of hotdog buns. May is also the month where I look forward to gardening, fishing, softball and really kicking it into gear. This year my May will be a little different. I am excited to announce to the readers of Southeast Living Magazine that my family is expanding by one coming this August. Instead of much fishing, I am swimming at the pool and picking out a backpack that will one day soon hold a little one. We are so excited to welcome our new addition; it will be fun to have a little helper or snoozer around the office to keep me on my toes. Speaking of new additions, we recently launched our new, redesigned website for Southeast Living Magazine. We updated our look and hopefully made accessing articles and content easier and more user friendly for readers. We are still in the overhauling process of upgrading our gallery page, which will allow viewers an easier way to access and share our photos. This revamp process has been inspiring in other areas of the magazine as well. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our product and help our writers and advertisers expand their business through ours. As an example, we spent time finding new distribution locations this month, and deploying more of our large floor stands. Theses newly designed stands hold our current issues, two previous back issues and the monthly Powell Tab. We are always looking for community events to attend and photograph so if you have any suggestions, please send them our way. Last month we attended the Juneau Skating Recital and this month we are excited to attend the Annual Maritime Festival and various upcoming sporting events that are starting to take place. May your month be full of sunshine and outdoor activities, but if you find yourself bored on a rainy day, check out the new website: www.seakliving.com!
