About





Welcome! Thanks for dropping by my blog, where I share snippets of my simple, cozy, creative life.

I'm Jenny, wife of over ten years to my husband Stephen, and mother to our daughter Roan. We live in southwest Missouri, so don't be alarmed by the amount of bug and weather related complaints you'll come across in these posts. One glorious day we will live by the ocean - I hope.

I'm all about simple, meaningful living, and finding joy in the little things. Knitting, reading, writing, gardening, even a bit of sewing... they feed my creative soul.

A bit more about me:

Coffee is my weakness, as well as the source of my power.

I aspire to one day be a traditionally published young adult author.

I was homeschooled most of my life and would love to homeschool our little girl.

My top two books? So glad you asked:
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin

I taught myself to knit (thanks YouTube!) and became addicted.

If dark chocolate were the sea, I would like to be a mermaid.
