This blog is written by me, for you.
Hi! I’m Janice Freeman, the creator and writer behind Joy With Jan. I write under the name Jan, and I created this site to share home-cooked recipes, stories about places to explore, things to enjoy, and ideas that bring a little more joy into everyday life.
The information I share on this site comes from my own experiences, memories, and interests. My hope is that something you discover here will inspire you to try something new, revisit something you haven’t done in a while, or find a fresh way to enjoy something you already love.
You may discover new recipes to make, places to explore, activities to enjoy, or ideas that encourage you to expand your own experiences. Whether you are looking for a comforting meal, a meaningful memory, or a little inspiration, I hope you find something here that brings you happiness.
How Joy With Jan Began
Joy With Jan began during the Covid pandemic, a time when many people suddenly found themselves at home with fewer places to go and fewer opportunities to gather. I wanted to create a place where people could discover ideas for enjoying life, even during uncertain times.
I shared things people could do from home, including books I enjoyed, games that could be played with family and friends, and ideas for making everyday moments more enjoyable. I also shared experiences that were still possible during that time, such as RV camping, where families could bring their own space with them while enjoying the outdoors.
As time went on and restrictions changed, Joy With Jan continued to grow and evolve. Today, I share many of the things that bring me joy—home-cooked recipes, stories about places to explore, museums and destinations I’ve visited, and experiences that inspire curiosity and enjoyment.
Whether I am sharing a comforting meal served at a beautifully set table, a favorite place I’ve discovered, or a simple idea for making life a little more special, my hope is always the same: to bring a little more joy into everyday life.
Take some time to explore the links on the Home Page and browse through the posts. My hope is that you find something you enjoy—and perhaps something you’ll want to share with others.
Thank you for visiting Joy With Jan. I’m glad you’re here!
