The Great Golf Ball Hunt

Image
If you follow me on Instagram , you're familiar with our nightly golf ball hunts and #greatgolfballhunt20 (or whatever the year may be). But in case you don't, or you're wondering how that all began, here's the story... We moved into a house in a "golf course community" a little over three years ago. I can't remember exactly when we found the first golf ball, but the first few times we walked to the neighborhood playground a block away, we found a stray golf ball each time. And we found a few that had made their way into our yard. And then we started seeing them in the "buffer zone" between our yard and the course. This evolved into a nightly walk around the section of the course behind our house. There are rules to golf ball hunting -- we only go out when no one is on the course, and we only walk in the area by the house and in a direction that ensures we'll see someone teeing off on the opposite hole and can get out of their way.

I am a Jen of all trades and master of absolutely none

I "started" this blog a year or so ago with the intention of getting back into blogging. My previous blog, Abingtonian Adventures , wasn't exactly relevant anymore, seeing as we no longer lived in the Abingtons, outside of Scranton, Pa. The fact that I'm finally writing my first post should pretty much sum up what this is all about. You see a lot of discussion of what one's "brand" is on social media. I have neither the time, talent or energy to have a perfectly-curated Instagram feed - I just like sharing fun and/or interesting pictures. I sometimes get deep on Facebook, but normally I'm pretty low-key, almost flippant. When I started pondering what my brand could possibly be, that's when I hit on "Jen of all trades and master of none." In short: I'm a SAHM with two daughters, ages 7 and 4. But this isn't just a mommy blog. I'm a freelance writer. Blogging may be a writing exercise, but this isn't just a news...
