I had set my mind to putting up a blog post weekly every Friday. I never know the focus on when it comes to the concept of WHAT to actually blog/write about. My blog has become a patchwork quilt. There’s a bit of everything here that I write about. I […]
Want to eat dinner like a real millennial ?
Ok I’m a bit old school. I’m the kind of girl that usually doesn’t mind grocery shopping on a Monday morning. I tend to plan out the week’s meals and head into the store with a list. I have my “usual suspects,” armed at the ready when it comes to […]
Breaking up with your closet.
Ever stare at the clothes hanging in your closet or folded in your dresser drawers and say out loud to yourself, “I have nothing to wear!” Yeah, me too… When this happens, it might be time to break up; and I’ve done this a few times over the years, however […]
Ringing in the 2020’s
So let’s be honest with myself… around the time the kiddo got “back to school” in August 2019, I shifted my energies to that and COMPLETELY dropped the ball here. I’ve been busy and lazy and everything in-between. Life, happens. This post will simply be a short recap of the […]

At first I wasn’t going to post about it, but then I thought, “Jen, this was KINDA a really big little moment in your life.” If you know me, you know these 2 things: First: I believe that all the wrong turns led me to the right place, and second, […]
WWE Summer Slam the Fiend – Fire Fly Fun House – this is my confession.
Fiend or friend, maybe both. I grew up NOT watching WWE Wrestling… and I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT! Now, let me tell you, I grew up in St. Petersburg, Fl and lived in the Tampa Bay Area for nearly 40 years. I had numerous “sightings” of wrestlers, heck, I even […]
Financial Advice Emergency fund vs paying on a credit card.
Shit happens, and when it rains, sometimes it pours cats & dogs. I’ve been helping clients with their budgeting and teaching them how to better utilize their money. Their success gives me a sense of happiness. I like hearing good news, who doesn’t? But then, there are those times in […]
