Heather Jennings of Poppy Haus
Poppy Haus is a blog dedicated to food, play, and design. I'm a passionate home cook, with a focus on seasonal ingredients. Because I'm the mother of 2 young boys, I feature plenty of family friendly recipes with the occasional sweet treat and cocktail recipe for the grown ups! I also like to try my hand at interior design, DIY projects and I've been know to give the occasional art history lesson. Visit Poppy Haus for more living at home inspiration!
