It's launch day!

Hello and a very warm welcome to the launch of MooBaaKids…we’ve run what we’re doing past family and friends and are now throwing open the doors to everyone. Thank you so much for the excellent feedback so far. As a result we’ve had a bit of a facelift, packed in lots more features and are now officially raring to go!

The first thing we hope you’ll notice is the way MooBaaKids looks. This is all thanks to the super creative talent of Laura Steele. She listened to what we said we’d like, sprinkled some magic over it with her own ideas and interpretation and has created an eye-catching logo and colours across the site that really sums us up. We cannot thank her enough for offering to help, praise her work more highly or recommend her freelance graphic design and illustration skills more strongly. You can contact her at laurasteeledesigns@gmail.com

As well as the style, we’ve worked on the content too and added even more. We’ve added six new buggy-friendly walks on our walks page for you to get started with – let’s hope last week’s sunshine wasn’t it for summer! We’ll just quickly point you to the Malham Cove walk as the peregrine viewing point will only be there till 31 July. If the sun does shine again, it’s a great, inexpensive day out for all ages.

We’ll soon be filling in the blanks on our new parklife section with tips on the best parks around and how to get the most out of them as well as working on our community area – how to get linked up with other people and share what you’ve been up to.

New events and activities are being listed all the time and each week with the blog we’ll flag up some local events or other ideas for inspiration (it’s the Yorkshire Day countdown next week, tha knows!) – we’ll let you know via facebook about any big things we’ve added but if you keep checking back, you’ll most likely find new things.

We have already had more than 75 people ‘like’ us on facebook which has totally exceeded our expectations but the more the merrier – everyone’s welcome! And the quicker we get to a 100, the quicker some one gets to win the fantastic BabaBing! changing bag in our prize draw. So its time for you to start spreading the word - get your friends to like us on facebook now! And if you’ve already done that (thanks!), what are you waiting for? Have a leisurely look round MooBaaKids and let us know what you think…enjoy! X
