  • And a new design!

    I believe the previous design of the site was around 15 years old. It wasn’t responsive (didn’t work very well on mobile) and was so outdated it couldn’t use a lot of the new tools and tricks available to me. I’m pleased.

  • Adirondacks Vacation

    Adirondacks Vacation

    We’ve just returned from a week at The Hedges in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. This was our first proper vacation as a family of four [plus Grandma and Grandpa] and it was amazing. I can’t say enough good things about where we chose to stay; all-inclusive (turn food-prep brain off!), rustic enough to not break […]
