Hello, Hello!! I'm Jennifer...and that handsome man in the picture with me, is my amazing husband, Daniel. We will be the main voices of this website, YouTube Channel, blog, social media, and the {future} shop {fingers crossed} that will all be a part of Not Before Noon.
We have four amazing children!! Arlee is a Berea College Graduate who is finding her own way out in the world. Frost is working hard on saving up money to take that big huge step out on his own & get started on his own path. We also have two teenagers at home...Zach and Liam, who are still finishing up their high school & looking forward to what their futures hold. All four of our children have been homeschooled, and all four of them will be homeschool graduates! With this being our 15th year of living our homeschooling lifestyle, we've only got 4 more years with Liam...we are in our "twilight years" of our homeschool experience...which is positively bittersweet.
It's been quite a rollercoaster of a year or so for us...for many, of course, actually. Jenn has had some medical ups & downs...and we BOTH have had our fair share of emotional hiccups...physical slip-ups...spiritual shake-ups...and mental breakdowns...such is life, I guess...right?? {{Deep sigh}} It is A LOT! Life can be hard on us all. On the flip-side of that coin, life can also be very good!! We have LOTS to be grateful for & have many blessings in our lives, for sure!!
We are in a place where we feel like we are finally finding our way closer & closer to that proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel"...which, consequentially, gives us more "good days" to be able to share {at least some parts of } our story with others. Extra time to be able to focus on the things that do make our hearts happy. On these good days...we can truly feel that happiness...and we want to be able to put some of that out into the world when we can!
We are each other's unwavering love & support to keep moving forward!
What is Not Before Noon?
This will be our safe place to grow a community of beings who are looking to live the simple life...to live a good life...to live a mindful & meaningful life...to live a life full of love & light!!
The older we get, and thru some very tough life lessons, we are learning that...although we are thankful for the life we have created thus far...we really aren't living the life we want to be living...
and it is time we make some changes to get us moving more in the direction we are wanting to go.
What this will mean for YOU is...Not Before Noon will be a place we can share...life lessons we've learned, adventures when we travel, unavoidable shenanigans that our family always seems to find, encouragement to others, the craziness of our two little cute canines, homestead happenings, thoughts & opinions on things, camping & hiking trips, gaming fun, living that simple life, wellness & well-being, our many struggles & successes, mindful living, what we are doing to be more "home-centered", and more!!
BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY...it means community!!
Belonging.
We would LOVE to connect with others who are on this {or a similar} path, looking to start on this path, or who are just curious about it!
Join us on this journey!
We'd love the company!!
