hey, good lookin’
I’m Jen, a writer and skincare territory manager in Denver (saving lives one wrinkle at a time). I’m also a foster mom for the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor program & love having these amazing kids in my home.
I’m a firstborn, an Enneagram 4w3, a Jesus-follower, and fun (weird?) fact – I was born without a sense of smell!
Fangirl obsessions: hot pink nail polish, lattes, labeling things, capsule wardrobes, peonies, painting classes & salted Oreo ice cream.
I believe the secret to accomplishing our biggest goals and dreams always starts with a life of less—and in a sense making room for what matters most.
So happy you’re here!
my little family
Meet the Carlsons. That’s me on the right, and my three girls on the left.
Between the four of us, we speak six languages: English, Lingala, French, Mandarin, Spanglish, with a splash of Goo-Goo-Ga-Ga. Our accents are thicker than honey: small-town Minnesotan (yah, sure, you betcha), rural Congalese, and coastal Chinese, to be exact.
Heartache brought us together…but love binds us for the rest of time.
