Hi! I’m Jen,
Professional bookseller, encourager of fun learning and lover of organization. I am equipping women with the tools they need to organize their lives. Welcome!
Formally, I'm Jennifer French and informally, just call me Jen. I live in Indiana with my husband, two sons and loving pup. I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. Meeting new friends in a book and traveling through the pages to places I've never been is what makes me happy. It's only fitting that I share that love with families looking to keep reading and a love of learning at the forefront of their lives. I have also organized for fun since childhood. I like having spaces that make sense and loving my home.
I am a brandpartner with Paperpie, an American publishing company that specializes in children's books, toys and games. You might recognize it's former name as Usborne Books & More. I have been with the company since 2018 and absolutely love the library of wonderful books it has provided our family. PaperPie has allowed me to help other other families worldwide as well as our local community grow their bookshelves, too. I've been blessed to be able to work with schools, preschools, healthcare facilities, foster agencies and other organizations to provide them free books to support their mission and support literacy and learning at early ages. Watching children get excited about new books is the best!
When I'm not selling books or working on organizing projects, I am reading, cooking, running errands or taking the kids to and from activities. I typically read between 75-100 books annually from all different genres. Fortunately, I am a quick reader so I am always trying new recommendations. Unfortunately, I get attached to characters and hate to see it end. That's a main reason I love books of a series. I enjoy spending time with my family staying at home together or traveling to see the world. We are currently working on the goal of visiting all 50 states before the kids graduate from high school. Food is a guilty pleasure; growing, preserving, cooking and eating. I like to fix healthy meals, but I also love a greasy, fatty or sugary meal just as much. Luckily, I'm also learning to love exercise again. It's funny how you love it when you don't really need to do it and when you do... not so much.
My passion is being a resource to others and I hope this place is a valuable resource to you. Let's use building blocks to take back your life one project at a time.
