  • Water Play Time

    Water Play Time

    So, yeah this is an action shot my mom took of me this week. Background story? The tides this week were super high and super low. So when it was super high … some of the roads flooded and the beach parking lot flooded. I clearly thought that this would be a great time to…

  • Inspirational Words

    Inspirational Words

    When I read Erin Gates’s Elements of Style blog … it makes me want to give my blog a total visual overhaul. Its so pretty and her design vision is gorgeous – but today I was also captivated by the words. She had posted a quote that she found on another blog, La Dolce Vita,…

  • Jake's First Day of School

    Jake's First Day of School

    My little brother is 11 years old. Well, he will tell you that he is 11 and a half … or perhaps even count out the precise fraction. Regardless. In the last 4 months, he has turned into a “preteen”. There are now “restrictions” on picture taking, jokes, kisses, high fives, meals, etc. Now, don’t…

  • Sweet Berry Wine

    My sister showed my this video last week before we went to a neighborhood wine party. Hilarious. Although, I’m nearly 100% sure that nobody else got it when we called each wine a “sweet berry wine”.

  • I'm a perfectionist

    I'm a perfectionist

    Ok, I’m really not – we know that… but I do love a good art project. Since I’m about to rejoin Corporate America, I’m pretty sure that art projects won’t happen much in my near future. I’m not artsy like my sister Kerrianne – she is really an artist. I’m artsy in a “geometric I…

  • Vineyard Recap

    Vineyard Recap

    Last week I went to the Vineyard with a friend for a few days as I mentioned in a previous post (Vineyard Bound and Home Sweet Home). It was a great few days away from the hustle and bustle of the family house. I know that sounds silly but you’ll just have to take my…

  • Pants?

    Pants?

    Rumor has it the gravy train is ending in less than two weeks… and I’m going to need to put on pants. I can quite honestly say that I’ve probably put on pants (not stretchy pants, yoga pants, or sweatpants) maybe a dozen times since I graduated – IN MAY. Since graduation – and my…

  • Goals Update

    Goals Update

    Awhile back I blogged – like way back – that by the time I went back to work I was hoping to get a visitor to my site from each of the 50 states. Every now and then I check the Google Analytics profile to see how I’m doing. Fun Jen Fact? I love analytics,…
