And so it begins…

Good day, friendo. I’m Jenn, aka HippoChick. (Nice to meet you.)

I first had a blog back 20-something years ago when my kids were very young. It was something fun for me to do and it also was my first venture into HTML and learning how to code.

That eventually led me to working for a web department for one of my jobs, then I had my own website and graphics design business.

Nowadays I’ve taken a step back from being a web-nerd, and I’m doing more physical creative work with metals and wood. Crafty should be my middle name.

I still do web projects on the side. Now I’m doing my own side project… this blog.

What’s the theme of this place gonna be? **shrug** Who knows?! Pretty much treating this as my online diary, my place to talk about whatever is on my mind and heart. But moreso than just internet ramblings, I may share things like book reviews, concert recaps (just went to an incredible show a few days ago that I’m DYING to talk about), recipes – who knows. This is truly going to be all of the musings of a middle-aged mom.

I will go into more detail in my next post about what I want to get out of this. For now, that is the introduction you get. If you come across this post – Hi! I encourage you to stick around and read a few posts. If this isn’t the place for you, no harm no foul. Simply move along and enjoy your web browsing experience. But if something in these ramblings and musings speaks to you, why not leave a comment? (Just be nice – I don’t tolerate negativity and meanness.)

Until later, take care of yourselves. We’ll chat soon.
