About
Hi, I’m Jen and this is my blog.
I’m married to Matt and Elizabeth is the baby. (Yes, she’s still a baby!) She’s this old:
She doesn’t normally dress as a fairy though or stand near a rainbow. In fact, she doesn’t stand still anywhere.
Matt and I have been married for:
Our second child died before he could be born. His name is Luke.
If you are like me and you sometimes like to start from the very beginning, here is the first post on this blog. (I have archives elsewhere, in case you are confused by the fact that I claim to be blogging for three years longer than this blog has been open.)
We have two dogs, Trinity and the little dog. The little dog has a real name, but we are pretty sure that he is the only dog in the whole world with that name. He’s shy and doesn’t want to be Googled.
I am a stay at home mom, so I blog in order to get some human interaction. Leave me a comment, okay?
I like books, the internet, cleaning, books, cooking, books, baking, eating out, and more books and more internet. Not necessarily in that order, except for the part about liking books.
Matt likes movies.
Elizabeth likes books, toys, dogs, fairies, princesses, Cars, walking (NOT being carried), cleaning, doing what the Big People are doing, and books. She takes after me. But she looks like Matt, so it all evens out. Except for the hair, she has my hair.
Trinity dog likes outside, treats, walks, telling the evil backyard rabbit who is boss (Trin is boss, not the evil backyard rabbit), and sitting in the mud before coming inside to sit on the white carpet.
The little dog likes nothing. Well, he likes Matt. And me. And Trinity. And Elizabeth, as long as Elizabeth is not trying to remove his ears. But that’s all. He certainly doesn’t like YOU and he is NOT going outside, he can hold it, thank you very much. Please let him stay in the house. And don’t let anyone come over. He’ll be in his crate, hiding. He’ll see you later. Or he won’t see you later, he’ll just stay in his crate, where it is safe and dark.
Did I mention that you should leave me comments? I like comments. And I think you are pretty.

I feel like I know so much about you now, Jen. Your About section is really amazing.
Fine, fine! I updated it. Are you happy now?
Jen –
Two (kind of) questions….first, I have been following your blogs for a long time, and really enjoy it. Even more so now that I am expecting a little girl in the fall. (I have a wonderful daughter who will be 15 in a few days, so it has been soooo long since I have been pregnant or had a baby around it is almost like doing it for the first time again…a lot has changed in 15 years!) Are you still posting on your first blog? If you are, I would like to keep following that one, too.
Second question…you do a lot of really cute things on your etsy shop. I have been looking for a “little sister” onsie (probably long sleeved, as she will be an Oct/Nov baby) but can’t find one I like anywhere. Is that something you can do?
Thanks!
Thank you for explaining about the little dog. Now I understand…
I’m read your story of your precious Luke. I wondered…do you have Factor V Leiden or something like Lupus Anticoagulant or MTHFR? I just saw that you had blood clots pass and I had several pass. Until I my girls were born still, they had no idea that I had all of these blood clotting disorders. They have also caused my family members to miscarry without anyone ever knowing they had it because the doctor’s don’t usually do genetic testing unless there’s a problem. Anyway, I can take heparin and some other meds now to control it and hopefully have a normal pregnancy. I just wanted to know if you had something similar. I would have e-mailed but I couldn’t find an address. Thanks,
Jamie
I voted for you! Love your blog…
Nice to read about you. Looking forward to meeting you at the Blathering!
I look forward to catching up on your blog, you’ve been through so much, thank you for sharing. ICLW #117
See….while you have been missing from my reader, I missed the whole Little Dog adoption…
Nope, this is the same little dog we’ve always had. He’s six years old and my blog is four, so I’ve had him longer than the blog. That’s probably why you don’t remember his adoption. :)
I’ve never read this before, it was so funny!
