Welcome to my first blog post! My name is Jen, and I am a member of Generation X. I decided to start this blog because I believe my unique experiences and hard-earned wisdom could be helpful to others. I also decided to take this step because I no longer want to pursue traditional employment. Maybe you can join me on my journey to becoming my own boss!
I’m a mom of three kids: two boys and a girl. My oldest son passed away in 2013 at the age of 20, and I’ll touch on that more in a later post. My middle child is now 22, and my daughter is eight. I’ve worked in the field of computers since 2000. I bought my house as a single mom in 2009, and that’s when I discovered my passion for DIY. You can check out my DIY projects here
Over the years, I’ve learned how to save money in ways that always amaze my family and friends. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite websites for great deals, as well as products that won’t break the bank. Last year, in 2023, we had a house fire and weren’t able to live in our home until June of this year. I want to share everything I learned about homeowners insurance, repairs, and how to really get the smoke smell out of items you want to keep.
I’m also someone who loves to cook and make a good cup of espresso. I’ll share my favorite recipes, as well as cooking tips and tricks to make your life easier.
I hope you find my information helpful and that together, we can save time and money!
