MEET JEN
Hello, I'm Jen!

SEARCH BRANCHES OF BIRCH
This is me and my husband enjoying a rare evening without children!
I'm lucky enough to be wife to an incredible husband and mum to four brilliant, funny and kind boys.
​
I have lived in a few different places and been trained and worked in many different jobs. I have enjoyed all of them in one way or another, but nothing seemed to fit other than being a mum. I think that it is probably classed more as a calling or vocation, but anyone who says it isn't work, is lying. I love my boys more than anything, but they are work! Just keeping up with all the washing is a challenge.
​
We live in Staffordshire, in a three bed 1950's Semi detached house, which could be found just about anywhere in the UK. Our home will soon be a five bed house though, when we add the extension we have been waiting 6 years for. So, if you want to know how we got on doing some of it ourselves, employing our own people, how much it cost and all the planning involved, then follow the 'Our Home' page above. If you want to receive updates on that, plus DIY projects, recipes, and tips on budget and organisation then please sign up to be notified when theres something new to read.
​
I seem to have many different and varied talents, none of which would see me on Britains Got Talent, but they do help me make a beautiful home on a budget, from cooking, baking, sewing, icing, wood work, decorating, I want to try everything and will do my best for my family to give them a beautiful home to be proud of.
​
I'll be posting twice a week, hopefully on Tuesdays and Fridays and I really hope you'll join me and our growing community.
​
Jen
