I’m Jennifer, married to David for 16 wonderful years. We live in Texas with our 2 teens.
Our family loves to go on family vacations and we have a distinct love of all things Disney related. My husband and I suffer from Vegas-itis and try to get there at least once a year (sometimes twice!)
I love to cook and bake…I’m a self-proclaimed chef and food network enthusiast. My daughter and I are also vegan, while the rest of my family is not — so I’m always creating new vegged out ways to make our family favorites so that we don’t starve!
I’d love to get to know you; feel free to leave me little bits of wisdom below 🙂
Hi Jennifer!
Thanks for visiting our blog. That’s great that you’re a vegetarian and we’re glad you’re sharing your delicious plant-based recipes on your blog.
If you’re ever in CA visiting Disneyland, we’d like to invite you to our restaurant 🙂

Hi, Jennifer — Thanks for the likes on my blog and Facebook. It’s fun to read how much you love Disney. I grew up in Southern California, so Disneyland was a part of life. We were there at least once every summer and at some point during the school year. I continued the tradition when I had a child, but it’s been a while since I’ve been back. Have fun with your blog!

Thank you! We have a sickness..this is the first year since 2003 that we have not gone to Orlando for a vacation. We’re going to HI so that’s not a bad trade off but I’m still having withdrawal symptoms so I’ve been planning a quick trip around Thanksgiving. I think we’ll try Disneyland, I haven’t been there since 2002.

Hi Jennifer! Wow. You certainly have a lot of energy and sound like you are living a fantastic life even if it is in the “hell-like state of Texas!

Thanks for visiting my blog. You are one busy lady! I can relate to your love of travel – we like to travel as well (but often don’t have the funds to go on a ‘nice’ vacation.) We did get to go to Hawaii (Maui) in April and it was gorgeous – I think you’ll like it. Vacations make memories and I think your children will have some good ones to take into adulthood 🙂

I used to hate the “go around the room” game that used to be done at work functions, meetings etc. where you tell them something they don’t’ know. I’m just not all that interesting so it’s hard to come up with something.

In several of the environments in which I had to “play” that game, people would come up with things like “I climbed Mt. Everest once..” or “I died once and came back to life” or “I can speak 57 languages fluently”… made me wonder if I should’ve just made s*** up too.

Hi, I really enjoy reading your blog and have nominated you for the “Inspiring Blog Award” and “One Lovely Blog Award.” There are a few rules to this nomination (these aren’t my rules, so do what you want…no pressure) you need to give a shout out to me, of course, tell us 7 things about yourself and then nominate 15 bloggers, that’s the tricky part, if you don’t have 15, don’t worry, just pass it on to someone….share the joy by following this link http://changeforbetterme.wordpress.com
If you have all ready been nominated my apologies and pass it on anyway! We all love to be recognized for our work. Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting our blog. We used to have a doggie sister but she went over the Rainbow Bridge earlier this year. We do have doggie friends living by us and we love to play with them. Mom says we think we’re part dogs! Mom said to tell you that she’s been to Disneyland several times and Disneyworld, too. Then she said something about big mouse ears but we didn’t understand. Nice to meet you and we’ll enjoy reading about your adventures ‘cuz Mom won’t let us out of the back yard.
