Just about a year ago, we family left our charming Hoboken apartment to start a new life in the burbs. Our family was growing, a personal business venture was on its way and the lack of parking/storage with mini-city life had taken its toll on all of us. Hoboken is where it all began. It’s where I met my husband Craig six years ago (a Colorado transplant who has now been in NJ for 13 years). It’s where we spent our first years together after a beautiful wedding in Riviera Maya, MX. and it’s where our first daughter, Maya Reece (now 3 years old) was WWW.SMITTYSLANDSCAPING.COM born.
