Hello and happy Monday!
How was your weekend? We had a pretty good one that wasn’t too busy.
Did you catch my two posts this weekend?
This month, I’m participating in Bloganuary where I’m trying to write a daily post. I’m continuing with my own schedule, but I’m also using some of the WordPress prompts for topics too.
On Saturday, I wrote about gifts, and on Sunday I shared my recent Amazon purchases to link up with Tanya today.
Anyway, on to today’s post…
Today is our first Share Our Lives (formerly Not Just a Mom) link up of 2024. I’m happy to be back co-hosting this link up with these ladies:
This month’s topic is introductions and job’s you’ve had.
Introduction:
We did introductions last January too….and not much as changed for me.
I’m Jen:
I’m still…
- a wife (married to Travis, and we will celebrate 19 years in June)
- a mom (my boy/girl twins are now 14 years old)
- a high school English teacher (this is my 22nd year in education. I do academic intervention now which I really enjoy)
- pretty introverted and a homebody
- a book lover (but fail at book clubs) and a dog lover
- a beach and mountain view lover
- an Enneagram 5w6
- left-handed
- I grew up in Kansas City, but have lived in Lexington, KY for almost 20 years
- a KC Royals, KC Chiefs, and Missouri Tigers fan
Here are some other blog posts I’ve written sharing a bit more about myself:
A few additional facts about me:
- I can’t live without coffee
- I took a True Colors test this year, and I’m gold (planner) which means I’m loyalty driven, respect rules and authority, responsible, organized, and appreciative
- Autumn is my favorite season.
- I love traditions.
- I need quiet time to start my morning.
- I love my birthday, but I don’t need a lot of attention…haha
- After almost two years, I’m on my third and (hopefully) final phase of Invisalign.
- I love a Sunday afternoon nap.
- I love “falling back” for daylight savings time, and I love a snow day.
- I’ve had this blog for 4.5 years (will be 5 years at the end of the summer)
Here are some more recent posts I’ve written sharing more about myself:
Jobs:
I actually wrote about jobs I’ve had last summer.
Here is that post:
The short of it is:
- I worked at dental/ortho office for a few years in high school and my freshman year of college.
- I worked the front desk of my dorm sophomore and junior years of college.
- I occasionally babysat.
- I worked for Mizzou Athletics in the ticket office during my senior year of college and while I did my student teaching.
- This is my 22nd year as a high school teacher.
Here are our topics this year. If you have a blog, we’d love for you to save the Share Our Lives graphics and link up with us on the second Monday of the month. We love reading other bloggers’ posts!
I hope your week is off to a great start.

Love the bulleted list format! It makes it so much easier to read than my long paragraphs.

That was fun to read! I think I knew most of that about you, except maybe that you’re introverted. I wouldn’t have guessed that! I consider myself an extroverted introvert. I do love to be around people and to talk and to meet new people, but I definitely recharge my batteries by being alone and having quiet. I think we can also have changes with our personality as we get older and gain more wisdom. Thanks for sharing this with us today!

I’m definitely introverted and I think given that I have to be social / extroverted all day, I need quiet when I get home more than ever. Once I know someone, I’m definitely more comfortable and less introverted.
