Jen of All Trades and Master of None

Sophie and Annabelle prepare to take on the Paw Paw Tunnel I don't know about you (though I can guess), but I'm a little tired of being cooped up in the house. On the flip side, I don't really feel ready to jump back "out there." We just moved into the green phase of recovery on Friday (June 19), so a lot of things are opening up more, but by the same token it doesn't seem like there's been a ton of caution observed around here for the past month or so. So what do you do when you seek adventure but most places are still a little too... peopley... for your taste? Well, if you're like us, you take advantage of your husband's oddball schedule, which gave him a day off on Wednesday (but meant he had to work on Father's Day 😢) and hope most people are working mid-week. We've been big fans of the C&O Canal towpath for years, because we enjoy hiking and the towpath's wide, flat and mostly gravel path are easy on little legs --...

I "started" this blog a year or so ago with the intention of getting back into blogging. My previous blog, Abingtonian Adventures , wasn't exactly relevant anymore, seeing as we no longer lived in the Abingtons, outside of Scranton, Pa. The fact that I'm finally writing my first post should pretty much sum up what this is all about. You see a lot of discussion of what one's "brand" is on social media. I have neither the time, talent or energy to have a perfectly-curated Instagram feed - I just like sharing fun and/or interesting pictures. I sometimes get deep on Facebook, but normally I'm pretty low-key, almost flippant. When I started pondering what my brand could possibly be, that's when I hit on "Jen of all trades and master of none." In short: I'm a SAHM with two daughters, ages 7 and 4. But this isn't just a mommy blog. I'm a freelance writer. Blogging may be a writing exercise, but this isn't just a news...
