Hi there, I'm Janelle. 18 years ago I was footloose and fancy-free!  
I was spending hours writing in my journals, picnicking and dreaming up my future. Surely I would be a flight attendant and dash all over the world, spending my weekends in exotic cities!  I would learn several languages, host extravagant parties and with all my free time I would most certainly NOT date someone from my hometown, (especially not an ex-Amish man)! 

Today, it often feels like I'm more of a FIGHT attendant, dashing all over town with our four children, ages 7, 5, 3 and 8 months!  Our weekends are spent in our little farmhouse where I'm attempting to learn several LOVE languages, (and trying to keep up with first grade vocabulary).  The parties I host are mostly for the little people in my life, although I do always look for a good "excuse" to throw one, (a party, not a little person)!   And as for that free time, I can only wish for more of it to spend beside my man who was born and raised in the ways of the Amish.  A strong, faithful, hard-working, steady, kind man.  He is the love of my life. 

There's no where else I'd rather be then living in this small town with our little family,
(ok, ONE weekend in Paris wouldn't hurt anyone)!  Heck, I'll settle for a trip to Target all by myself!  This lady ain't hard to please!!

My days and nights are spent making this house a home, something that is very precious to me.  Creating a space that is cozy and welcoming, lived-in and loved-on.  

Welcome to Neighborlies, we hope you enjoy this flight!!  And along with Frank, I say, "come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away!"

    As an experienced event planner and previous wedding coordinator, Janelle has a talent for bringing the nostalgia and traditions of old to life (think high tea on the lawn under a gazebo). Her events and her writing style tap into the deepest layers of the soul - reflecting a longing for beauty, bounty and cozy living. Perhaps it’s her decade-long experience as a licensed massage therapist that gives her such a grasp on what touches the human spirit. Janelle’s words paint a picture of a life we all long for and more importantly, ways we can make it our own, knowing that home is truly where your story begins.  She blogs over at Three Men and Their Ladies
