Hot Mess Mama

image
Jenifer is a self-proclaimed Hot-Mess Mama. By day, she is a teacher to at-risk teenagers, a mom to two crazy little boys who are only 18 months apart, a wife to a guy who continues to put up with her antics, a certified fitness instructor, and (just because she doesn’t have enough to do,) a blogger! By night, she’s looking frantically for the nearest bottle of wine. JUST KIDDING… (kind of!) She loves her life, and all of the characters who play a part in it, but there’s no question that she spends most of it as a chaotic lunatic. She highly enjoys wearing sweats, eating cake, and watching reality TV; preferably all at the same time. Jen is trying to figure out how to be the healthiest, most fit version of herself; all while balancing motherhood and all of the other demands of life. She hopes you’ll catch up with her both here on Skinny Mom, and at her blog (http://www.mamasgettinghealthy.blogspot.com/) to find out how she’s doing on that journey!
