Hi, I’m Jenny, a pastor’s wife and mama of two in southern Indiana. I’ve recently become a stay at home mom and am finding more ways to live simply while saving my pocketbook and my sanity.

My husband, Ryan, is my best friend and the one who majorly influenced my decision to resign from my full time teaching position. He’s my number one supporter and the love of my life for the past 15 plus years! He started his ministry as a pastor of students from grade 6 to age 25.  His current title is Ministries Paster, and he oversees all adult ministries.  It’s a big job, but he’s certainly the man for it.   I’m incredibly blessed to call him mine!

Evie and Roman are my two other bundles of joy!  They bring joy to the every day and are two of the main reasons we decided I would stay at home and start this new journey.

Why read SLPW?  You may be searching for a reason to begin a new life journey, or encouragement to continue in the one you’re in.  You might possibly be looking for ways to live more simply. Or maybe you just want to know that you’re not alone–there is another mom/person out there that is perfectly imperfect, and proud of it! I am here for all those reasons and more. I don’t have all of the answers, but I plan to take you on my own journey as I set out to find a healthy balance of doing what we are all called to do—love deeply, live vibrantly, all while giving GOD the glory! I hope to do all of this through DIY projects, home and life style tips, inspiring examples, AND I hope to learn a lot along with way with you.

Live life simply with me!
