About Me


My name is Jennifer and I am a full time working mother with three children.  Outside of work and taking care of a house full of crumb snatchers, I am taking online classes at night to try and finish my Master's Degree in HR Management.  My husband is a volunteer first responder/fire fighter in the township where we live, on top of working full time as well.


You will quite often find Jon being the butt of my jokes here, but that's how we I "deal" with this thing we call life.  I am loud and obnoxious, probably to drown out all the whining and crying coming out of the other four people in my house.  When the dogs need fed, the laundry is piled up and my children never stop talking about, laughing at or trying to see who can fart the loudest...I simply retreat to my blog.


My stepson David is eleven years old, he spends half his nights in our house ~ which means he only has his sanity the nights when he goes home to his mama.  He is our artist, musician and computer geek...smart beyond his years.  He has run for class representative and delivered a speech for the Dare Program at school as well...he might just follow in his father's political footsteps.


Ryan is our four year old dare devil.  He will put on a Spider-man costume and smash right into a wall because you know...he's Spider-man.  He is rough and tough, a very confident young guy who isn't afraid of anything.  He smacks it out of the park in t-ball which makes his mama a very proud woman!  I love having somebody to cheer on, especially when it's the star player.


Of all the children, Haylee has been the handful...she is sensitive and needy. She is two years old and still has trouble sleeping through the night.  They always say if you had the last one first you'd never have another one, right?  She is rough and tough which is to be expected with two brothers ~  look the wrong way at her and she just might bite.


Our days are long and the nights are short...but you know what?  It makes for a good blog.

Hey Jennifer! I saw your blog listed under Michigan on FTLOB. We are not too far from you...just north of Kalamazoo. Just wanted to stop by and say hi to a fellow Michigan mommy. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Hi Jennifer! I'm here by way of Dwija from House Unseen - from her post thanking you for the camera you sent her. Wow. You are amazing.

Hi Jen! I too am here because of the kindness you bestowed upon Dweej. What a wonderful girl you are!!! You can be my friend too! ;D

Seriously though, it is so cool that you did that. Just yesterday I was thinking, I wonder if someone will send Dwija a camera? Because if I could have I would, but I couldn't so I didn't. =)

God bless you!

Stopping back by and leaving some love for another fellow Michigan blogger :0) You have a great sense of humor and excited you found me so I could come and follow along with you as well! We are from the Paw Paw area ... probably in Kalamazoo for work and play more than we are at home, but eh, ce la vie!

Hi Jennifer-I am stopping by from the Blogelina event and must be really slow because I am not figuring out how to subscribe to your blog. What am I missing? Thanks!
