Oh. Hi there. My name is Jen.
I know, I know. Not Martha? No. But I’m the next one anyways.
I started this blog to document all the things I do that are Martha Stewart inspired.
Like Gardening.
And Halloween.
And basically kicking ass.
I’ve been known to write random and infrequently as well. I’m not what you call a daily blogger. Go ahead and subscribe. I won’t be the one filling up your reader.
I also have 15 years of Martha Stewart magazines saved.
Yes. You read that correctly.
These magazines have inspired some good, some bad and some down right wrong. This woman has got her grips on me pretty tight. I can’t even walk passed one of her “specials” magazines without tripping on my eyeballs while handing over $19.95 at the register.
Why does she make tie dyed doilies look so awesome?
Who can resist braiding their own pine needle wreaths?
Blow glass? Sure just fire up the grill.
I also have ADD. Put this combo together and sometimes you make beautiful things happen and other times, well, you just make a mess.
I love a project. If it’s something I haven’t done before, even better. I’m also really good at the first 90% of that project. Tape still around the door knob? Yep. Just the very corner needs to be touched up? Yep again. I’m sort of the Queen of 90%.
Also:
–I like to take on multiple projects. Finishing them is not my main concern.
–I can work a jig saw, band saw, compound miter saw and a drill press. I’m pretty damn handy as long as I don’t have to finish the project.
–I’m pretty honest. Don’t ask me if your boobs look like Niagra falls in that shirt.
–Sometimes I should not be let out in public. Ok, it’s most time.
When I’m not here I’m mostly on Twitter. And Pinterest. Or filling up my coffee cup. I got things to do and not finish people.
You are awesome. I don't do projects, but I like to stand behind those who do and cheer them on. You are hilarious, and I'm glad I found you. :)
OMG I think you are my lost twin. serisouly! Love the blog! Can't wait to follow!
Me too. I thought it was OCD??
Another ADD/ADHD mom?! Hurray! That’s so…hey…what’s that making that noise over there? I should google noisemakers, maybe I could make those and sell them, maybe I should be a professional party planner, maybe I should go back to school!…wait, what?
You are SO my kind of girl!!
You are so refreshing! SO happy to have found your blog.
Ah! I'm so happy to meet my twin….I thought I was the only one trying to make it in suburbia…so far, not working.
found you through jessica bern… so glad to be here, so I can feel normal.
Peas in a pod, Jen, peas in a pod!! You rock!
I just found this! I am so excited you started this blog!
Is your dish detergent housed in an etched glass bottle with a silver pouring spout? Once a babysitter thought mine was olive oil, oops! Thanks Martha, for that!
It totally used to be. Then I added vegetable wash and hand soap and it became too cluttered. I now house all three in one of those shower dispensers that I have mounted on the outside of the cabinet above my sink. I press the button and the soap falls right into the sink. It's a little genius.
*sigh* I did this too. My dad cooked mushrooms in Dawn detergent on one visit. They weren't as tasty as they sound.
