I’m Jennifer Shaffer and I was born and raised in America’s Heartland.  After I graduated from High School, I wanted to get out of the “boring” Midwest and spent several years in the South and on the West Coast.  But after having a child, I just couldn’t think of a better place to grow up than the Midwest!

The Heartland is America’s breadbasket.  Summer days are spent eating blackberries right off the bushes for breakfast and frolicking in the many streams and creeks.  Winter days are spent building snow forts and warming up with hot chocolate and fresh baked bread.  Really, what more could a kid ask for?
