Iowa Blogger Chasing Twins, Living Life, & More
This week has sucked. Actually, this WINTER has sucked when it comes to our family staying healthy. This week, we have had vomit, ear infections, snotty noses, blow out diapers. You name it, it’s happened. When you have two curious twins, I can tell you, it just calls for a full out mess through the […]
Searching for health care can get exhausting with all the options out there and the cost associated with coverage. You may be wondering what alternatives you have and may be surprised to find that you can save on health care. Through an employer-sponsored Flexible Spending Account (FSA) you can put aside tax-free money to cover […]
I think we as Moms are sometimes our worst critics. Whether you are a stay at home mom or a work outside the home mom, we all have one of the most important jobs in the world. Everything you do DOES MATTER. Quit tearing yourself down. To those little people calling you Mom, you are […]
I’ve always been the type of individual to relate, and find the meaning. I’m not the type of person to just listen to a song and fall in love with it because I can dance to it. I’m the type of girl that listens to the song, listens to the lyrics, and completely feel the […]
Though Facebook or Twitter might be the quickest way to announce the arrival of your new baby, it might not the best. Taking a quick photo with your phone then uploading it to a social network doesn’t always yield the most flattering results, doesn’t necessarily reach all the people that you want it to and […]
Travelling with children can be a logistical nightmare at the best of times, not least when you’ve got four tiny people with wills of their own. Whether you’re going around the world, or just to the park, having an organised system for getting your kids out of the door can be a life saver. There’s no need […]
Clothes are something can make or break a first impression. When it comes to formal wear, you want to not only look amazing, but feel amazing as well. In October, we had a trip to Florida for my father-in-law’s wedding. As a member of the family, I wanted to be dressed classy and able to […]
It is hard to believe that four years ago we were forced to say Goodbye. Grandpa, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you or miss you. Aubrey was just a baby when we lost you. You would get such a kick out of Kelsie and Aubrey, and I […]
This post has sat here for a month with my deciding what to do. As I thought about it more and more, I realized that I was just fulfilling exactly what I want to stop. A taboo. As we’ve seen the news of Mindy McCready’s suicide, I’ve seen more and more individuals commenting. This is […]
You would have to be living under a rock to not know what Pinterest is. I’ve used Pinterest to help create birthday parties for my children, look up new recipes, ways to organize our house, and so much more So without further ado, I bring you…..

I never thought I would write a post such as this but it’s truly bothering me. There are pages on Facebook calling Dorner a hero and completely idolizing this man’s actions. While many question the validity of what happened while he was employed by LAPD, the moment he took an innocent person’s life destroyed any […]
This year is not off to a good start from the health standpoint. Kelsie’s first day back to school after Winter break, she was exposed and caught influenza. You look at that kid and can make her get sick. School requirements are the child must be without a fever (100 degrees) for 24 hours without […]
– Valentine’s Day marks the two month anniversary of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT that took the lives of 20 first graders and six educators. As we celebrate those we love this year, Sandy Hook Promise is asking Americans to keep the community of Newtown in their hearts with its […]
Your name is something you carry with your for the rest of your life (unless you pay the fees to change your name, of course). When it comes to naming your child, you want a name that you know is strong, not something they might face teasing for in school. Each of my children and […]
Today I was given the chance to read more about Ivette from WAHM BAHM and decided it would be a fun little thing to add to MommyJenna.com. 1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes, actually. I was named after Priscilla Presley’s character on Dallas, Jenna Wade. 2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Yesterday […]
