About Me

(this post will be periodically updated, so yes, it's current)


Hi! Welcome to my blog! I love visitors, and I love comments. If you comment a couple of times, I'll almost certainly come visit your blog too. ☺

I'm Jenni, and I've been challenging the status quo since, well, about as long as I can remember. I sew, knit, cook, and sell stuff on etsy. I'm a tree-hugger, breastfeeder, and natural-birther. I am German/Scandinavian, I have blue eyes, long hair and an attitude the size of Alaska. You can see me on ravelry and facebook if you do that stuff. ☺ You can learn more about me from my '30 days of pictures' series.
A lot of people have asked about all our holidays, so now you can see a calendar of them here at Our Celebrations.
I can respect an educated choice, even if I disagree with it. I cannot respect an uneducated choice, nor the choice-maker!


I'm married to my Hubby, Dave. We have a great story of how we met. He's a school teacher which means he gets to be home with us in the evenings and we take some fantastically long summer trips. On the other hand, it also means I blog a lot about frugal living.

On the mommy front, I have four angel babies, as well as three sons here on Earth. I stay home with my kiddos--here on the blog we call them Wolf, Bear, and Eagle. They're a lot of fun and do some pretty wild stuff.

We also have a doggie daughter, so I figured I shouldn't leave her out!



We live in The Last Frontier (Alaska) but I don't get too specific about which city because I like to maintain a little privacy for the sake of my kids. It's an area with halibut fishing and moose hunting; numerous wildflowers, wild rivers and stunning mountains; and a lot of very independent people who walk to their own beat--we fit right in. We recently moved here from extremely rural Pelican Alaska, where the grizzly bears outnumber the people, and it rains all the time, except for when it snows.
