About: Jen Schmidt

As a mom of five blessings and full time family manager, Jen Schmidt has learned to balance and embrace both the beauty and bedlam of every day life. As a motivational speaker, worship leader and writer, Jen shares with humor and authenticity on a myriad of topics, all which fall under her passion for “Living on Less and Loving it.” She lives it, and invites you along for the journey. Her practical, yet tangible lifestyle ideas encourage others to save money where they can, so they can spend (and share) on the things that really matter. She served in full time ministry as a Director of Music and Youth in Milwaukee, WI before she and her wonderful husband moved their family to NC., but is now a full time family manager that writes about her never-ending pursuit of balancing it all at her personal blog: Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. Jen finds joy in encouraging women at MOPS, women’s retreats and home school conferences, yet she receives the sweetest reward from her most demanding audience, her family. You can find her on any given day dreaming about a clean house, chauffeuring, couponing, meal planning, home schooling, thrift store hunting, or quite possibly on a stage sharing both her beauty and bedlam as a daughter of the King.
