Bless This Mess


My name is Jen, I have been married (almost) twenty years to my sweetheart, Scott.


We have five wonderful children – Jason, Justin, Sarah, Jeffrey and Joshua.  We live in a small town just south of Edmonton, Alberta, called Beaumont.  The purpose of this blog is to “strengthen home and family.”  Over the past two decades I have collected lots of fun, silly, crazy, practical, wise, frugal, tasty and useful information that can be applied to raising a family, caring for a home, and strengthening marriages. 

I love lists, calendars and schedules, so I came up with a schedule for this blog.  Monday will be family activities, Tuesday will be tips.  Wednesday will be recipe posts, and Thursday will be home and garden.  Friday will be a weekly review of a book, movie/dvd, game or toy.  Saturday will be an inspirational, uplifting or humorous thought about families.  Sunday I will rest!

Why am I calling this blog “Bless This Mess”?  Well, family life is messy!  Parts of my house are clean, not always at the same time.  We have problems, some big, some small.  Mostly we get along with each other, sometimes there is friction.  But no matter what, Scott and I keep trying to do a little better every day.  Because family always comes first!

  2. Hop Sing, sigh. Talk about making me homesick! Are you using the same blog, the Drage Diaries, or do you have a really brand new one?
