Papoose

In case you missed the link in my last post, I want to introduce to you my new website for Papoose, www.papoosenantucket.com.

I am really excited about this site, not only because it’s an important step towards getting the funding necessary to get Papoose off the ground, but also because I built (coded!) the site myself.  In addition to the main website, I set up a blogand created a Facebook page.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would visit the site and come back here to let me know what you think.  Does it provide all of the necessary information you would want to know?  How does it look and work?

    Hi Amber,

    I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and wish you good luck with your business. Since you asked, I have two suggestions for your website. The first page’s picture should be a bit smaller so that the whole picture can fit without the viewer having to scroll down. On my browser (firefox), I can’t see the whole picture. The second thing: I understand that there should be a lot of explanations and text considering your type of business, but the first page should be cleaner and lack paragraphs (IMHO). So, on the right of the picture, I suggest either bullets or a few quick lines (less than 4) welcoming people to your site and pointing them in the right direction (to your tabs).

    I hope this was helpful. I have my own (smaller) business website and if you have any tips yourself, feel free. (www.englishwithsarah.com)

      Thanks for reading my blog, Sarah, and for the feedback! It’s good to know about scrolling. I have a rather big monitor, so I hadn’t thought about that…

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
