hello.

I wish I had a Pinterest worthy photo to go at the top of this post. Maybe that would make me feel better. More at ease. Introductions are always so awkward.  Who are you? Why are you blogging? In this time...in this place...what could you possibly have to offer? What new thing do you have to say? Fortunately, almost no one reads the first post of a blog at the time it's published. It's not usually until after they're somewhat of an established reader. That's what I'm telling myself, anyway. 

Well, my name is Jenna. I'm blogging as an outlet.  If I were to "type" what this blog is going to be I'd have to say a "lifestyle" blog. That's right. THE catchall of blog types. The I'll-write-about-whatever-comes-to mind-blog.  If you happen to get anything from it; well, that's great. That's the cherry on top.


I'd like to tell you that I'm going to have something witty to say every week. Three times a week. That I'm going to have tips and stories and how not to's on a regular basis. That would be nice.  But we're just getting started out; so let's not over commit. I have three kids; three wonderful under-the-age-of-four kids.  And I'd like to keep the As-Soon-As-I'm-Done-With-This-Post-Honey's down to a minimum.

You can be sure that when I do post there will probably be run on sentences. And typos. Because always, almost always, something done imperfectly is better than something not done at all for fear of imperfection. Maybe that will be a big theme of this blog. Accepting the 'less than'. Fixing what we can and accepting what we can't (golly--that sounds familiar--accepting the things I cannot change & whatnot).

So, hello. I'm Jenna. And there may be more awkwardness to come.
