Hi! I'm Jenni the Garden Diva. I grew up wanting to be a singer/actress/dancer/author, but most of all a mother. So far only one of those dreams has come to pass. I’m a remarried mother of three loverly children. Two boys and a girl, 16, 12, and 10 respectively, help make my days a constant joy and frustration. Mostly joy, but you know how it goes sometimes.
We live in a quiet Michigan village with one dog, two cats and a couple of fish. My husband is a CAD design engineer and general IT guy for a plastics company. I am the domestic engineer/teacher for our home school, although lately my role is reduced to Mom Taxi for the summer. I love reading, sci-fi and fantasy books in particular, but I’ll read anything I can get my eyes on. Working with beads and clay are my other pursuits of craftiness, although I’ve dabbled in many more. I’m hoping to add sewing, needle felting and crochet in just for kicks.
I have grown up on fast food, take-out, and massive amounts of pop. I learned to cook by reading the back of the box of Hamburger Helper. I can order pizza like a pro and open can of SpaghettiO’s in ten seconds flat. Now, I am throwing all these hard won skills out the window to live life among the vegetables, and fruits, and whole grains. It’s not an easy transition, but one well worth the effort. I think, I hope, it’s a change for the better.
