Hey there, I’m Jen.  I’m a dichotomy.  I would gladly strap on a parachute and hurl my body out of an airplane, but I’ll scream like a little girl if a bird gets too close to me.  I am a neat-freak trapped in the body of a person who makes a mess everywhere she goes.  I am a yoga teacher who loves all things natural health, but few things make me happier than whipping up a batch of homemade cupcakes.  I am a self proclaimed tree-hugger, but I drive a gas-guzzling SUV.  I am painfully shy, but have a nervous talking habit.  Writing has always been my favorite outlet, but I also love to create just about anything.  I love books, movies, and good TV.  Good food, chocolate, and coffee in my striped mug make me happy.  I have a soft spot for kids, animals, and underdogs.  I love to learn, as long as it’s on my own terms.  I believe that life should be about trying new things and experiencing new places.   I try really hard to live in the moment and not sweat the small stuff, because I have a million and one little neuroses that make me perfectly imperfect.  I also have 4 things that bring me total, unadulterated joy.  My kids are my heart and my soul.  I’m so thankful that I’m able to get to stay home with them, and for the opportunity to work from home, and to pursue my own projects online.  Also, I like Milk Duds.
