About

Hello friend! 

My name is Jennifer and I started this blog site to try and share the knowledge I’ve collected through my experiences. Going through life exposes us to so many new things that it can be so helpful and reassuring to hear from someone who has been there. Having been an ulcerative colitis patient and now j-poucher for a total of about 20 years, I’ve had many trials and learned a lot first hand about the medical field and how our bodies work. I hope that what I’ve experienced in my life can help you better prepare or address things that you are going through during your journey with IBD or j-pouch.

I’m a mother of three and it is my favorite thing in the world! I’ve always wanted to be a mom, but the feeling I have is so much richer than what I imagined. I am married to a sweet man who is loving, funny, annoying…the usual husband stuff 😉 But in all seriousness, I love my husband and children beyond measure and am so thankful to have them in my life! Much like all things health related, I’m passionate about children – especially keeping them healthy and fostering good brain development in those early years.

I also work full time in the technology field, so I’m in front of a device a lot during the week. I cherish the time I can get “offline” and just try to savor every moment at home. I want to try and be as present as I can be for my family.

I hope you find the information and stories shared here helpful! 

Take care and be well,
Jennifer
