Whew! Well, that was fun!
I've been away a bit lately - this week has been a big struggle with work-life and trying to do the right thing. I do believe I came out victorious but it wasn't easy.
We launched a competition this morning called "Move It Challenge" and it's an all new platform for us. So from a sheer technical perspective, it was a big project. And I kind of spaced out on the whole "beta testing" and "pre-launch freakout" phases of production. And managed to schedule soccer, Brownies, and a paella class for the 36 hours pre-launch.
But it all worked out. ChowderDad is changing jobs so he felt free to leave his office on Wednesday and take the boy to soccer so I could stay at work and pull everyone off the ledges. And thankfully, there was some wind and possible rain in town so the schools let the kids out early. Not much of a blessing but it did mean we couldn't do Brownies. So the kids went next door and I was able to do more beta testing.
So we launched. And I was able to get the Brownie registrations in and the kids ate meals and aren't totally filthy and all of that great stuff.
I would strongly encourage my friends to get their kids to enter. The top 15 fly to Denver for presenting their ideas to Sports Authority. Then the top 5 of those fly back to a live winner announcement at a big sports venue TBD (but let's just be clear, it is in the spring, in Denver). And the grand prize winner gets $10,000.
Sports Authority Move It Challenge is running through January 3 and the site has activities for kids and families and educators.
