Experimenting with blogs over the years, I ended up with one about being a parent -- describing those sleepless nights lying on the floor of one kid's bedroom, or walking the house wondering where -- or what -- another one got to. https://houseandhumour.wordpress.com/

The other is about how the several branches of my family made their way to Canada, and who they met, married, and reproduced with. Some of the stories were outta the mouths of older family members, but much of it was fleshed out through research on migration patterns, or the political currents of the day. A lot  revolves around trying to understand why they'd leave behind the familiar for something unknown. https://thehistorysleuth.wordpress.com/
