Happy Holidays!!
I hope everyone has having a happy holiday season!! I just wanted to give you a quick update on life in the Beantown Baker Household.
First things first, I got my blog redesigned!! It has been in the works for some time now, and everything got delayed a bit due to our move to Cincinnati, but the new site is up and running. Stop by and check it out. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Second, an update on the move. A couple weeks ago, Hubby and I made the drive from Boston to Cincinnati. We had a sunny day, very little traffic, and made really good time. We lived out of a hotel for another week before finally moving into a two bedroom apartment. We are starting to get settled – I’ve even baked in my new kitchen already. We bought a tree and got it decorated last night. Just in time for Christmas!
Our plan for the rest of the year is to relax, enjoy some delicious food, hang out with some friends, and then head to Illinois for my sister Brooke’s wedding on New Years Eve! I’ll see you guys in 2013! Happy Holidays!!








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. 






Oh, Jen. Wow, I am so sorry to hear this. My heart breaks just looking at these photos. I can’t even imagine the emotions you and your family have felt this past year. I’m glad you decided to write and post your thoughts. It’s so important to get those feelings out—and it always helps knowing you’re not alone.
Tornadoes are horribly scary. We have our fair share here in Nebraska, and I work in disaster education and preparedness. Even so, they can occur so quickly and can cause so much devastation in such a short amount of time. And the recovery process certainly takes time. Sending a virtual hug your way!
What a strong and resilient community, so much has been done in only a year. God Bless to all who have toughed it out and rebuilt. So happy for you and your family for surviving this.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. My prayers are with you and all involved.
