I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






I love this idea! I missed the original post because I was on vacation but I think you’ve made great progress in just one month. I turn 26 in August and think I am going to start my own list; though with 4 years before 30, it could get out of control, haha. Good luck, and congrats on the Avon Walk!
