It’s been almost one year since my family and I moved from New Jersey to Kansas. At the time of the move, I thought it would be funny to name a blog “Not in Jersey,” after that famous line from the Wizard of Oz in which Dorothy says “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” Until now, I didn’t start the blog because I didn’t know if I had anything to write. However, I’ve been inspired by my friend Mara and her blog, kosheronabudget.com. I don’t expect my blog to be anywhere near as successful as hers is, though I do have some ideas of things to write about. There will likely be some posts on living in Kansas and how it differs from NJ, posts about Jewish life here and answers to commonly asked questions we hear from our NJ friends, family updates (we have one more kid than we had when we left NJ!), some pictures, and even some knitting project sharing – the sweater I am making for Zachary right now is looking really cute!So, let me know what you think. Good idea? No one cares? 🙂
