About Me

Hi, I'm Jen

Thank you so much for visiting A Place 2 Call Home. I am a 27 year old wife and stay at home mother. I blog for my own sanity. I became really obsessed with design when my husband and I first moved in together, a whole new world was opened up to me. Now that I am a stay at home mom, I really focus on cleaning, organizing and decorating my home. I love reading about all things home related, and so naturally after years of reading blogs, decided to start my own. Thank you so much for taking the time to read, follow and comment, it really means the world to me.



And now 30 pretty random facts about me

3. My daughter makes me believe that god must be real
4. My husband and I had crushes on each other for about 6 months, and neither of us knew it.
5. I like to be in control and in charge
6. I believe that I am a very creative person
7. I don't sew, I hot glue, and that doesn't even embarrass me.
8. I believe that paint can pretty much solve anything
9. I believe I would be a fantastic employee at the paint department, paint = possibility
10. I talk to myself...ALL the time. At least when my daughter is around I don't look quite as crazy
11. I cant cook, and although I'd like to learn, I am unapologetic about it.
12. I think clean sheets are the best thing ever
13. My style is becoming much more eclectic and it surprises me
14. We had a small wedding of only 60 people because more than anything I just wanted to be his wife

Or any video where children have no food or water, I cant help but donate immediately, my heart hurts for those babies.
