I have to tell you, I’m feeling pretty good today. With the exception of my best friend reminding that this is the last birthday of my 30s, I’m over the moon. (She’s like a sister and likes to poke at me…Lola!!!) Yes, it’s my birthday. I’m a summer solstice girl. And I am overwhelmed with [...]
I’ve got a friend in from out of town that I’ve known pretty much all my life. He has three kids with two different baby mamas. One kid is your typical (becoming) teenager who is gonna be alright – smart boy, good co-parenting, could be cute if he would shut his mouth and be nicer. [...]
I am LONG overdue in publically recognizing and paying homage to the creative genius behind my new logo. I have known Jen & Simon Bucktrout for over seven years. We were really good friends back when Husband & I were childless and living the sweet life in San Francisco and have continued our friendship down [...]
If I ever wrote a book I would call it “Honestly Jen.” However, I would ask that whenever anybody read the title they would have to say it with a sigh and an eye roll. I have a way with words that is kinda like my super power. It can be used for evil, but [...]
Last weekend I met my parents out in Phoenix. We were to go to a dear family friends’ memorial service. Not the happiest of reasons to go, but good to see old friends and where we all used to live. BabyD and I made the trek across the 6+ hours of arid landscape. I do [...]
You know what people say about the road to hell. Well, I hope that my road to hell is paved with Amy Sedaris’s pages of I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence. The intent is there, but sometimes it’s distasteful. Some people can roll with the humor and some simply cannot. I don’t think that [...]
I need a coping mechanism other than more wine. I need a change to happen or I may lose it this time. I’m talking about my sanity. Is there a diagnosis for this? Is this what turns good, normally-adjusted women crazy? Back me up here, but all the SAHM’s out there…do you have episodes where [...]
Are there things about yourself that you really like and can totally appreciate? I mean, c’mon I’m sure there is a list of things we don’t like about ourselves. How about tipping the scales a little bit on the other side for once? One of the dorky things I like about myself is the ability [...]
Once a month I hold jenH Happy Hour (HHH). It’s my kind of Mommy & Me playdate. I invite about 30 women and everyone knows they are welcome to extend an invitation to a friend. Most the time there is between 10-15 Moms and about 20 kids. Yeah, it gets crazy. Kids run in and [...]
