Welcome to Hexagon Home
FIFTY & FEISTY IN FRANCE
Bonjour et Bienvenue! I'm Jenny.
In 2021, I quit my career, got (rescued by) a dog, sold everything, and followed my dreams to live, learn, and write in the South of France. Along the way, I created hexagon home for sharing inspiration, hard truths, and helpful hints for anyone who's ever wondered what it takes to reinvent your life. Now happily married and living in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, I'm finally working on my first full-length novel.
You can think of this site like a private French flea market, where you'll discover a trove of worn-velvet personal essays, tucked among pretty postcards of architectural remnants and "la vie quotidienne" in Provence. Browse our collection of bureaucratic flaming hoops, humor, fine whines, travel advice of questionable value, and other junk you never knew you needed.
Tchin-tchin!,
Jenny, Sophie, & Vincent

When One Door Closes...
... a dozen more get sanded, primed, painted, stained, sawed, screwed, swung, pulled, stashed, lugged, latched, --and yes, opened.
I'll be honest with you. Thinking back over the last twelve (!) weeks since my last post, it feels like Vincent and I performed a never-ending parade of lugging buckets and boxes up and down stairs, assembling and/or refinishing cabinetry, and inventing new and ever more efficient methods of pissing each other off.
