It’s finally here. Whew!
My new site. New look, and more importantly, new name.
Some of you may recall I mentioned a few changes would be coming soon in early January.
Don’t even get me started on why that didn’t happen, but let’s just say my blood pressure was probably through the roof on more than one occasion.
What would you think if I told you it’s taken me two years to get to this point?
Whatever it is, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be ‘wow, you work fast Doreen’.
The truth is, I don’t work fast, but this time it wasn’t my fault.
This process has been frustrating, stressful and eye-opening. Someday I’ll write a post about the trials and tribulations I went through, but for now I just want to do a happy dance that it’s done, and bow down in reverence to the fabulous Henderson (don’t you love that name?) at Bella-B. who stepped in to save the day just when I was about to commit Hari Kari, which would have totally messed up our RV!
Like any change, there’s a few things that need to be ironed out. Like my social media accounts still say ‘Househoneys’, but I’m working on it. If you notice anything glaring, or something that bothers you, or even if you have a suggestion, let me know.
Now about the new name.
Fox Den Rd. is where our cabin holds court, so I thought it fitting as a blog name. I’ve never confessed this to anyone, but I’ve never liked the name ‘Househoneys’. It was a name made in haste, and was chosen when I had a blog partner, hence why it’s plural.
And since ‘o’ and ‘i’ are neighbors on a keyboard, I can’t count the number of times I’ve typed ‘Househineys’.
Stop laughing.
So…if you have honored me by including me in your blog roll, say ‘adios’ to Househiney ‘Househoneys’ and ‘ola’ to ‘Fox Den Rd’.
Gracias

Well, I expected a new blog look, but not a new name. House Hineys: Pretty funny! I like the new you and the new name. I never quite understood House Honeys. But that’s nothing new. I don’t understand a lot of things, as you well know. Congrats, my friend! I will change you on my blog roll.
