Meet the Team!

Jenn

Hello, again! As you probably already read, I’m Jenn, the crazy lady behind this whole operation. Most people know me from my instagram @downshilohroad. I originally started that page way back in 2012*ish just because I love photography and home decor. They were my two big passions, and Instagram seemed like a perfect mix of the two. Then, after years of just sharing photos and meeting amazing women, I took a photo of a cow named Shiloh, and Shiloh went VIRAL. Since then, I have continued to grow my Instagram audience–and my collections;)–and the rest is history. I started this blog, with the help of my daughter, to show more of our life on this little hobby farm and to hopefully deepen my friendships with you guys.:) We hope you enjoy this space and feel comfortable enough to roll up your sleeves and dig in the dirt with us! Remember, a little dirt don’t hurt;)

Dempsey

Hiya!:) I’m Dempsey, Jenn’s crazy artsy kid! I live in Chicago where I act and write. I love storytelling. One day Mom and I were talking about how much I love words and about how she loves photography/design. We joked that together we would make the “perfect blogger”. In that moment, we both just looked at each other and said “sounds like fun”;) So, lots of stuff you see here is a true collaboration. The pictures are gonna be all Mom, but the writing (and more techy stuff) is all me:) I also guest write for and often build other blogs, so please feel free to reach out!!

Laurie

Hey! I’m Laurie. I’m Jenn’s best friend and the graphic designer behind a lot of the stuff you see here. All the shirts, mats, tumblers and whatever else Jenn thinks to put a funny saying on is made by me. I also own a little store here in southern Illinois called Southern Charm where I sell these products and more. You can find the store on Facebook, Instagram or Etsy at Southern Charm Decor!
