HELLO! AND WELCOME TO THE HOUSEWIFE MODERN

Launched in 2016 as a resource for modern homemakers, this site has quickly grown into a resource and inspiration for homemakers around the world.

If you’re anything like me, your job as a homemaker is busy. Sometimes there’s an additional job thrown into the mix. And while kids are wonderful…the task of raising them is time-consuming and occasionally frustrating.

My goal is to make your life easier and better. I’m passionate about helping people- especially homemakers- not waste their lives. Being organized, passionate about goals, and constantly striving is so important to a well-lived life.

Whether you need a fabulous recipe, something cute to make for an upcoming holiday, a free printable to make your life easier, or a dash of inspiration- there is something here for you.

There is A LOT of information out there today. In fact, more information than the entirety of human history before year 2000 A.D. was published online in the last three years. So being a housewife in the new millennium means taking advantage of all that information. I want to share what I know, constantly learn more, and do anything I can to help out my readers.

My promise to you:
• If I’m sharing a recipe, I’ve made it (and it was delicious!). In fact, I altered it from the original concept to make it even more delicious.
• I’m talking about a topic, I’ve researched it. Exhaustively.
• If you have a question, I’ll do my best to answer it. You can contact me on my “contact me” page, comment on my FB page, comment on a post, or e-mail me directly at [email protected]
• I’m recommending it a product, I’ve tried it and thought it was wonderful.


A little about me

I’m Jennie. I love to write, cook, bake, and run experiments. Yes, running experiments might sound weird. But I used to be a chemist in a nuclear reactor plant, so maybe it’s not surprising. In fact, in was all those household experiments that caused this blog to exist in the first place.

My wonderful husband George noticed the incessant recipe adjustments, the experimental notes on different cleaners, and my obsessive research. He suggested I start a website on that! In fact, he came up with the name. 

To my surprise, The Housewife Modern took off! And now you’re joining (as of October 2019), 50,000 other viewers every single month in visiting this website.

If we’re going to be friends, you should know I love reading (you should see my office and all its bookshelves). I think Doctor Who and Supernatural are the best TV shows ever. Though I might be guilty of occasionally watching The Vampire Diaries. And I’m bipolar. I’m a different person day to day, but I’m working on loving all those people!

Me & my husband George. My favorite picture of us...despite my looking grumpy. I wasn't...that's how I look!

Baby George. He isn’t old enough to taste-test yet. But his smiles can cheer me up any morning. And that’s quite an achievement! (I am NOT a morning person…haha).
