January editorial
Going self hosting was a big leap for me and this blog. After almost 2 years with a site on WordPress.com I decided that I could achieve more and make more interesting content if everything was moved to a new location.

Something interesting arrived in the post
Picture this,I’m out running an errand one Monday evening and I arrive home with my kids to find out that there’s a parcel from Amazon awaiting me at my home.
