Me
I’m a woman with a penchant for beach sand, growing tomatoes, and carbs. I’ve been writing since 2010 on my site “What Jen Does” about kitchen experiences, travel loves, and life moments. In 2017, I started to write about my house renovation on “Pile of Shingles”. I’ve since merged them to one digital hub because why complicate life like that.
The House
Oh she’s a beauty. The house was originally built in 1910 and has been in my family ever since. My dad grew up there and we can tell fond stories of my aunt getting caught hauling candy in one of the bedroom windows.
The house is located in a coastal suburb of Boston, Massachusetts within a quiet neighborhood.
The Projects
I have a million of them. Some of them I write about, and some of them just get finished and never documented. Such is life as a parent.
