Welcome to an unexpected transmission from Jenni Tooley Presents! Check out what Jenni has to say about the latest version of Better Homes & Boundaries: Holiday Compilation and check out the fun yourself at www.jennitooley.com.

Well… it happened again. The plan zigged, the muse zagged, and Better Homes & Boundaries decided it wanted to be one big, beautiful, 34-page, full-color limited edition—fresh off the press and delivered straight to your door via Lulu.

So here it is! All Together Now! You’ve scrubbed the floors, untangled the lights, and maybe even made peace with Auntie M’s stuffing recipe. But before the season sweeps you up again, take a deep breath and make this one for you.

All Together Now gathers all three volumes of the Better Homes & Boundaries holiday zine series into one cozy, punk-in-pink collection. Part survival guide, part sacred reminder, it’s an invitation to create peace, play, and permission right in the middle of the holiday madness.

The Collection includes:

* Vol. 1: Prepping Your Heart for the Holidays — gentle grounding before the rush

* Vol. 2: Because Peace Looks Good on You — reclaim calm and joy (even in chaos)

* Vol. 3: Self-Care in the Chaos — reminders to rest, breathe, and stay soft through it all

Each Volume includes:

-Reflections and rituals for grounding through the holidays- “Permission slips” to rest, reset, and redefine what celebration means- Tools for protecting your energy (and your joy)- Playful prompts and journal spaces for your own messy magic

Whether you’re navigating complicated family gatherings, reclaiming old traditions, or just trying to remember to exhale between “yes” and “no,” this zine-book is your companion for a softer, saner season.Order direct from Lulu!

It’s hand-crafted honesty for the holidays — and a reminder that peace still looks damn good on you.

Hi darlin! It’s raining outside. My hair’s a mess. The dog’s eating a walnut. I’m stirring something that’s kind of risotto—because if it were real risotto, I wouldn’t be able to talk to you right now.

I’m sharing this because I know how hard it can be to feed yourself when life gets turned upside down—after surgery, after loss, after a long day. Cooking used to be second nature for me. But since my rectal cancer diagnosis and surgeries, it’s been a process of figuring out what I can eat, what my body can handle, and how to make it all work in this tiny kitchen.

No filters. No food stylists. Just me, my dog, and some damn good risotto.

Green Chef has been one of the small helpers in that process. The meals are simple, nourishing, and actually taste good. They’ve helped me rebuild my relationship with food—one pot, one meal, one messy countertop at a time.

I’m not here to convince you to buy anything. I’m sharing what’s worked for me in case you need a little support too.

If you want to try it, here’s a link—you’ll get a free box (just pay shipping), and I’ll get a credit toward my next meals. That helps me keep experimenting and sharing what’s real from this little pink-punk kitchen of mine.

Perfect for anyone rebuilding their relationship with food, recovering from something big, or just trying to survive the holidays without living on cheese cubes and wine.

Until next time…Love ya lots!JenniNot interested in Green Chef, but want to feed Jenni? Pop some lunch money in her pocket via venmo @jenni-tooley or zelle/paypal jennitooley@gmail.com.

Hi darlin! I am breaking out the chocolate ice cream as we speak!!! I know I said we’d do a livestream, but I gotta tell you just getting the “studio” set up for this one took it out of me, so I decided to record it instead. That way I wouldn’t have to add troubleshooting a livestream to my day:)This takes us to the value of acceptance and the beauty of the pivot.

Both can make life a lot easier and fun- and are of great use in stressful situations like The Holidays (place echo sound effect here).

Enjoy my first “not-so-live” stream since pandemic times. Me, my dog, my fish tanks, and a camera that almost didn’t survive the setup. If you’ve been wrestling with perfection or wondering how to stay sane (and maybe even joyful) through the holiday swirl, pull up a chair.

Inside this cozy chaos:

* The legend of the six-fingered cover goddess—and why I kept her that way.

* A few deep breaths, a little laughter, and some truth about good enough being sacred.

* A peek inside the Better Homes & Boundaries: Holiday Edition zine—including your official Permission Not to Engage permission slip.

* Real talk about energy, imperfection, and finding joy when the world says “more, more, more.”

This isn’t Martha Stewart. This is midlife, magic, and the moments no one posts about.So, grab your tea or cacao, take three breaths with me, and remember—you’re loved. Exactly as you are.

Now I must keep the dog from eating whatever it is I tossed on the floor when I cleared my desk to make room for the Studio:)Love you!Jenni

P.S. Don’t forget — preorders for the Better Homes & Boundaries 3-Zine Bundle are still open! Once we hit 10 orders, it all goes to print (and into your hands before Thanksgiving). Choose your own price — minimum $49 — and be part of this perfectly imperfect little experiment.

Not into the printed bundle but want a digital version? Become a Studio Member. Or if you’d like to share in the celebration, you can buy me an ice cream via venmo @jenni-tooley
