Hi! My name is Jennifer and I am the owner of Madison Rose Vintage and the author of Extreme House Wifeing. My blog focuses primarily on my family life which includes my husband of over five years, my two year old daughter, and my one year old son.
In my blog I love to write about my attempts at getting it right. Cooking, cleaning, kids… You know, the whole nine yards. I am learning, though, that “almost right” is close enough. I would love to be Martha Stewart - churning out professional looking crafts and gourmet meals while teaching my children to read, running my small business, and keeping a tidy home. However as we all should know, that isn’t possible. Martha has assistants!
