"Scout Survival"

My son Isaiah has been Boy Scout for many years and let's just say that he has picked up a few skills along the way. Here is an example of one of them. I guess in order to survive in a family of six on a fixed income a boy scout has to do what a boy scout has to do. Enjoy!

"Reflection"

We all have moments when we contemplate life and our purpose, Cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am). The answer isn't always clear, but  if one would only take a step back they just may see the  bigger picture. I titled this "Reflection" not only because of the reflection of thought, but also because I think that we all may see a piece of ourselves glaring back at us. At least I do.

"The Night Before Christmas"

Christmas is such a magical time of year. It's not only a time to give, but is also a time for us to remember our innocence and watch others enjoy theirs. A Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night :)

"Star Struck"

☆We all have times when we need to be tough, but sometimes we can unknowingly hurt the ones we love. It's good to know when to take off the gear that hides and protects us and just be real. Enjoy ☆

"Moving Day"

This week we started the big move into the new house and I thought that I had it all figured out. Aside from the delay of the truck rental, the scratched furniture, and my husband saying "If you want to make an omelet you have to break a few eggs", I learned a few things. . . Always plan for something to go wrong and most of all, if you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself. Check it out.

"A Lesson Learned"

Watching our children struggle is tough for a parent, but watching them learn from their mistakes and succeed makes it all worth-while.

"Lions, & Tigers, & Boots, Oh My!"

      

I really enjoy doing stories like this one. It not only shows the ongoing feud between my two lovely daughters, but it also allows me to amplify the importance of a child's imagination. Enjoy!

"Different Worlds"

No matter how crazy my day gets, and believe me it can get pretty crazy, it's always nice to have somebody to  listen to my woes and calmly bring me back down to earth. Unfortunately, that's not always the case :) Take a look.

"Never Judge A Book By Its Cover"

Having two girls with two completely different personalities isn't always easy. In fact, it hardly ever is. Here is a story about sisterhood and how we should all learn to appreciate each others differences.

"A Bug's Life"

Here is a story about my daughter Bella, the sensitive one. A story about life and the realization of how precious a gift that it really is.  Enjoy!

"Happy Thanksgiving"

Spending time with the ones we love and creating irreplaceable memories is what life is all about.

"Media is the Message"

Try explaining to a young boy about presentation and how important it is to make an apology to someone even when you think you have done nothing wrong! Well, this is something that I had to deal with this week with my son Isaiah. Sometimes the way we present something is just as valuable as the act itself.  :)

"Angel Eyes"

Watching my children grow up and go through stages has really been a learning experience for me.  Like I have told Angel, "I was 14 once and I understand, but I have never been the mother of a 14 year old and this is all new to me!" Here is an example of a day living with a teenage girl. It isn't always easy, but it is sometimes very entertaining.

"Baby's First Word"

Here Is My First Comic Strip On Jenny's Day And To Be Honest, I Was More Concerned With How I Was Going TO Get A Hand Drawn Picture Onto The Internet Rather Than  Drawing It. Anyway, Here Is A Little Story About Jordyn's First Word And How She Surprised Us All.

"Salutations"

Welcome to the debut of Jenny's day. I suppose that I started this blog at a somewhat crazy time in my life. I am working, raising a family, ages ranging from 14 yrs to 1 year, trying to find a way to finish college, and in the midst of it all........I am about to move and trying to get it done before the Holidays.

 My hopes are to turn this blog into a snip-it journal of drawings and stories that will let you take a glimpse into the life of a working class family, my family, doing everything they can in a struggling economy. And maybe when you read it you will see the simplicity and how alike we all really are. I hope that you will click away leaving with a little smile on your face.

So hang on while I try to get this thing started. I know that it will be worth the wait :)
