Officially Introducing…

After more than a month’s work, writing policies and setting prices, designing and developing, I am excited to finally share my web design(+) website.

Chris and I have come to realize that no matter how hard I work at Papoose, it is going to be very slow progress to the final realization of my dream.  In the meantime, I have to make money and it’s become clear that web design and related services are how I’m going to do it.  I enjoy the artistic side that is design and also the nerdy challenge of making the design a reality through miles of code and tricks.  I can do it from home on whatever schedule works for me and Nora, and, at least for now, I have been getting a steady flow of business.  Which means I am now the proud (though somewhat surprised) owner of not one, but two, businesses (one of which isn’t anything more than a business on paper, but still).

In addition to building websites, I am also offering logo design, social media strategy and management, SEO consulting, and personalized training on a variety of topics.  I’m excited about this newish venture, and its possibilities for helping us to pay off debt faster so we can start saving for our very own $750,000 Nantucket fixer-upper.  I’m also super excited about this website.  Go check it out!

      Thanks. 🙂 Lots of reading and lots of trial and error. Every website I do, I learn something new. I also now regularly read the source code of websites I visit and like, to see how they are built.

    Wonderful!! I’m sure Chris is very proud of you. Are you able to study and read source code of large corporate websites? What a wonderful way to learn! I’d say you’ve found your niche in the business world, and can market enough business for an assistant or two in the future! With the way the housing market has been, that $750K house might drop to $600K even in Nantucket! You’re on your way! 🙂 🙂

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
