When I first considered starting a blog, I just couldn’t find time. I was teaching up to nine courses each semester at two major mid-western universities and was just too busy. That all changed when my husband Brian started a fantastic new job that required us to move to north-eastern Ohio. Although I applied for seemingly endless jobs over several months, I was initially unsuccessful at finding a new job.
After a brief existential crisis (and with the help of my very supportive husband), I realized that this would be a great opportunity to start the project that I had envisioned for so long. This lead to the creation of the Jack + Bax blog. Here, with the assistance of my miniature English Bulldog Baxter, I hope to provide interesting ideas and information on travel, décor, shopping, and DIY that will help others plan great trips, design great projects, and save lots of money.
I am now happy to be working as a full-time forensic psychologist for the local courts. Although I have a bit less time to focus on the blog, I am committed to continuing to post about our projects, trips, and ideas regularly. I have also recently started an Etsy shop focused on vintage and upcycled items that I find on my many shopping adventures. You can view all of my latest treasures at etsy.com/shop/JackandBaxCollection.
