Welcome Welcome Welcome to my new website and blog! My name is Jennifer Glenn. When I saw the following commercial last week for McDonald’s coffee I couldn’t believe it! It’s like my own personal ad campaign that depicts EXACTLY what this blog will be all about.
Aftermycoffee.com has been in the works for well over a year now and I am THRILLED to be finally launching it and letting you in on my world of day to day observations that come with being a wife and Momma and just trying to figure life out as it unfolds and happens– after I’ve had my coffee. I hope you will be as entertained reading as I am in writing.
What you can expect:
#1 Silliness.
And a lot of it. I like to poke fun at life and at myself, but it’s all in good fun. Life is pretty dang funny and people are too. Most of my posts will include a lot of humor (sarcasm is my mother tongue. Ha ha!). There will be serious topics too, but for the most part I like to see the silly side of things and I think you will be entertained by the blooper reel that is sometimes my daily life.
#2 Helpfulness.
I love to learn new things and I love to share what I’ve learned with others. I ESPECIALLY love to share when I discover an “A HA” thing that I have found particularly useful. I realize everyone has their own way of doing things, but I have learned COUNTLESS things from those willing to share and most of the time it’s a head smacking “why didn’t I think of that” moment. May we all be continually smacking our heads (I’ll pass out the helmets) as we learn together.
#3 Creativeness.
In a former life (bc–before children) I was an Interior Designer. Now, please don’t imagine me as some sort of Joanna Gaines–I most definitely wasn’t, but I fumbled my way through a fifteen year career somewhat successfully. Even though I’m not sure I will ever get back to it–I learned a LOT. I still have a very creative bent that has sprung up in various forms including making many things for our home and other people, turning found items (dumpster diving) into useful things, and writing things that entertain me and–hopefully–you too.
#4 Inspirational ness (all the rest ended in ness–kind of felt I needed to continue the theme)
I just love a good quote, Bible verse, lesson learned, breathtaking photo of scenery, good book, cool song, bit of wisdom and anything that makes my heart soar and makes me want to keep moving forward. You can count on me to pass along anything uplifting or motivational I stumble across and I hope you will do the same for me. This world and life can be pretty heavy at times–sometimes it requires a bit of a team effort.
#5 Kindness.
Being that this is a place where I am sharing my words with you, I realize that –on occasion–you will want to share your words with me. I am hoping for that and I can’t wait for that. However–I REALLY Really really (really) want to make this a safe place. I can’t promise that you will always like or agree with me, I cannot promise that I won’t say stupid things sometimes, but I hope you will always be able to say that I said it with as much kindness as a body can muster–and I hope you will do the same for me.
I’ll try to post something new about once a week or so. SO, tune in on Facebook and Twitter and I’ll let you know when. Also, at the end of each post you can sign up to be notified via email when I post something new. Thank you so much for visiting me here. I look forward to connecting with each and every one of you!
God Bless!
Jennifer
