Hi, I’m Jen.
I’m a military spouse, toddler mom, and journalist who loves cocktails, baking, afternoon tea, traveling the world, trying new fitness classes, shopping, and Disney. Here at Marshmallows & Margaritas, I share recipes, outfits, reviews, travel guides, and all kinds of tips I’ve learned over the years, in hopes of making every day a little more fabulous!
I live in Annapolis, Md., but I grew up in Arizona, got my undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and my master’s degree from the University of Maryland, and have also lived in California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Michigan, England, Belgium, Spain, Bahrain and Japan. I’ve been to 33 states (as well as DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) and 45 countries so far, but I want to visit even more!
As a journalist, I have written for newspapers, magazines, websites (including Refinery 29 and The Daily Beast), a TV news station and a US senator, and am now an editor for Defense One. I have also written some stories for Forbes Travel Guide, including this piece on 10 Top Bahrain attractions.
