Hi, I'm Jennifer. My story begins as a coal miner's daughter in rural PA. Now our family resides resides in the Washington, D.C. area where I never seem to get to the end of my to-do list. I am wife to a skinny dude and mom to a clever boy. Despite city life, we enjoy spending time outdoors... unless I take my boys shopping for treasures. I love sharing my awkward experiences with motherhood, fashion gripes, DIY triumphs, and life one spoonful at a time.
