Welcome to my online home.

It’s a small, slightly chaotic glimpse inside my brain… scary, I know. I’m equal parts nerd and creative, which means things get a little all over the place in here. But Saltwood is where I get to center what’s uniquely me while helping others bring their own vision to life.

I’m Jennifer—wife, mom to two human kids and two furry ones, small business owner, creator of many (many) things, coffee lover (Joe insists I’m creeping into snob territory), and at heart… a big kid. I can keep the books for a business, handle the serious grown‑up responsibilities, switch gears to design your business cards or newsletter, and then finish the day with a game of tag or hide‑and‑seek with the boys (the four‑legged ones).

I’ve done the whole “take life way too seriously” thing, and honestly? It’s overrated. Life already comes with enough stress, so I try to show up light, playful, and human while still accomplishing all the professional things that need doing. If you’re a responsible adult, you probably get that tension—doing all the things while not loosing the joy that’s within you.

So here’s my reminder (to you and to myself): life is too short to live stiff and serious. Wallow on the floor with your kids or pups. Play hide‑and‑seek with your spouse (Joe says I play too much). Laugh loudly. Enjoy the tiny moments, because those are the ones we remember.

So again—welcome inside my head. I hope we become fast friends, sharing the ups, downs, and the beautifully weird in‑betweens of life. I can’t promise what direction this blog will go; right now it’s simply a place to let my thoughts run free and maybe give you something to connect with along the way.

Talk again soon.
