The video banner above is only intended to illustrate what a generic banner could look like. It is not intended to be an actual design feature.
What follows is a “show-and-tell” of how a site could look. All options are still on the table. My goal is to save you money and time by helping you to assess possible looks and to tweak them as desired.
EMBEDS AND ETC.
The embedded Instagram feed you see here is the free, basic embed provided by Instagram. It does not allow customization. However, depending on how important it is to you, you can pay for third-party customization apps.
If you want people to see media, instead of Instagram specifically, this can be done through Squarespace and external options such as Flickr (see examples immediately below).

Your site can support a popup like this (below) that invites viewers to join your email list. I recommend this (if you have time to do it) because it allows you to overcome all the algorithmic fickleness of social media and YouTube and let people know directly that you have (1) new episode (2) new merch (3) new program (4) brand awareness “merry christmas” etc.

Show Directory: Lively Lewis Media
“Your more wholesome take on family life – even with a little bit of mischief thrown in – is a refreshing view into what YouTube Kids could be.”
At Lively Lewis Media, high-energy programs inspire curiosity, creativity, and imagination.
Lively Lewis Show
Levi and Ivy find no end to household and neighborhood adventures. The only limits are the boundaries of their limitless imaginations.
Creative show themes bounce from one childhood highlight to the next, including:
High-energy visits to Disney World
Family competitions, video game contests and out-of-the-box surprises
Levi and Ivy turning into … trolls!
Being wowed on an animal sightseeing safari
The kids shrinking to … dollhouse size!
In addition to outlandish fun, Lively Lewis demonstrates family life in a realistic yet positive light. Mom, Dad, Lewis and Ivy play together, care for each other when they’re sick and pitch in to find items they’ve lost (including the dog!).
Life lessons are skillfully and comedically woven into the fabric of many episodes:
Dental hygiene is explored when the parents binge on candy.
Emotional health is explored via special effects when family members turn literally blue (when they’re sad), red (when they’re mad) and green (when they’re jealous).
Real-life kids issues – such as fear of flying, losing a game, making a mess and cleaning it up – are presented with energy and a pace that keeps the attention of children and parents alike.
With a light touch, Lively Lewis also helps kids:
Understand and celebrate holidays.
Learn the Five Love Languages (popularized by author Gary Chapman).
Try new foods ... using the Wheel of Flavor!
Learn to play chess.
Admit to doing something wrong (stealing mom’s “loose change”) and make it right.

Lively Lewis Family
Although Levi’s and Ivy’s parents appear in most shows, Lively Lewis Family focuses on their relational dynamic. But that doesn’t make it serious, boring or heavy. And that’s the genius of the show: Kids learn lessons about healthy family life while following Levi and Ivy through the twists and turns of daily life.
Our mission
The goal of Lively Lewis Family is to share wholesome videos that inspire curiosity, happiness, laughter and a sense of adventure. Whether we’re embarking on exciting challenges, exploring new places, or just having fun at home, we aim to create joyful moments that families can watch together. Our family’s not perfect and we mess up sometimes – but we’re here to learn and grow together.
What kind of adventures do we tackle? Here are just a few:
Confronting a – no!!!! – possum in the backyard
Eating from a mystery box: Will they draw spicy, sour, sweet or … gross?
Exploring: Can you really buy and eat food that’s all the same color?
Losing a first tooth
How the family responds when someone’s sick
Buddy the dog ran away! It’s a team effort to find him and bring him home.
A surprise first-class flight to Disney World
Secretly giving the kids a room makeover – while they’re at school!
FERRARI AND FAMILY
And then there’s the Ferrari episode. Our family loves Formula One racing. In this popular show, Levi and Ivy get a surprise ride home from school, but in the ultimate sportscar. But that’s not all. The surprises keep coming all episode long. The kids’ joy is contagious for all who watch – even kids who didn’t get a lift in a Ferrari.

Lively Lewis Stories
Every child deserves a daily story. And who says it should stop at one? Lively Lewis Stories is an original podcast that educates, intrigues and entertains. Narratives are based on the (mostly fictional) adventures of Levi and Ivy.
A few Lively Lewis Stories
The Power of Compassion
When Ivy breaks her leg, Levi struggles with feelings of guilt and jealousy as she receives extra attention. As he learns to see beyond his frustration, Levi discovers the power of compassion, realizing he and his sister are stronger when they support each other.
Caring for Community
When Levi and Ivy find their favorite park neglected and covered in trash, they decide to take the first step in fixing it. What starts as a small cleanup effort soon inspires their friends, family, and community to join in, proving that one small action can spark big change.
Healthy Habits
Levi and Ivy, feeling sick from bad habits, learn from their parents that healthy routines – such as nutritious eating, hydration, and sleep – make a real difference. After adopting some changes, they compete in the Neighborhood Olympics, winning the Obstacle Course Race and realizing the importance of balanced living.
Selfishness vs. Sharing
Levi and Ivy land in an enchanted forest of magical creatures. Yet the forest’s magic is being drained by selfish beings called The Gleams. With help from a wise wizard, the siblings convince The Gleams to share the magic, restoring balance and allowing their plane to fly again.

The Lively Lewis Story
Parents and grandparents love to share stories about their quirky, funny and super-smart kids.
As we, too, indulged in this pastime, we had a thought: “Family life is a story – a series of lessons learned. So why don’t we share it in video format and see what happens?”
Since all of us share creative impulses, we decided to go for it.
The launch
The Lively Lewis Channel began by blending family fun with educational storytelling. Our goal was to entertain and inspire young audiences.
“While there is endless content for kids to consume, we wanted ours to include something extra: positive life lessons in the midst of zany fun.”
The breakthrough
We enjoyed the effort behind Lively Lewis no matter the results. But a milestone came when we were featured on the YouTube Kids app. This exposure brought a wave of new viewers, confirming our blend of storytelling and positive messages connected with our audience. This breakthrough also gave us renewed energy to continue creating inspiring and entertaining videos. With a busy live, Lively Lewis sometimes requires us to stretch. As parents, we can struggle with the same balance we hope to teach our children. Sometimes life is a tightrope, but at the end of the day, everyone steps off safely.
Why we do it
What is success? For us it’s knowing our work is having an uplifting impact on children and parents. We love hearing from viewers who tell us how the content is meaningful to them and their homes. It’s also an opportunity for us to cooperate as a family in an endeavor that’s bigger than ourselves.
What’s next?
As we look ahead, we’re planning an animated series and exploring merchandise opportunities. Our goal is to help the channel reach even more families while continuing to inspire creativity and curiosity in young minds.
The Lively Lewis Channel requires passion, creativity, and perseverance. Our dedicated community has made it all worthwhile. We’re committed to stay true to our dream: creating joyful, imaginative experiences for kids everywhere.
