About Me:


Jessica Gordon Ryan is a writer, a blogger a photographer and a memoirist. She has been writing for as long as she can remember, and as a young child she would sit and compose on her toy typewriter for hours. She dabbled in public relations and marketing as a copywriter before taking time off to raise her family, but writing, still a passion, was never put on the back burner. Born out of a need to be creative, and a desire to perfect her writing skills, Jessica created the lifestyle blog, The Entertaining House, where she writes about topics from food to fashion to décor.  The Entertaining House, part magazine, part memoir, is about living well and living a well lived life.  

Jessica also owns a boutique social media and creative services company, Effervescence, where she combines her creative services, promotional writing, photography, social media, and blog design.

I had a very privileged childhood in New York City where I attended several tony schools. I also summered both in the South of France as well as in the Adirondack Mountains. When I was a teenager I finished my high school education in the UK before returning to the States for college. These experiences all helped to shape who I am and all that I am passionate about. I am also a newly single mother living within a very tight budget. I look for things in my life that are stylish, sophisticated (and yet whimsical) that won't break the bank.

I am the girl in the ballgown who wears Old Navy flip-flops. I am the girl who serves pizza on fine china. I am the girl who drinks champagne for no reason at all. I love denim and pearls. I love the rustic beauty of the countryside and the sophisticated beauty of the city. I love to dress up and I love to get dirty. I love dancing in the rain and I love kissing in the rain.

The Entertaining House, part magazine, part memoir, is about living well and living a well lived life. I believe that this can be done within a certain means. One does not need to be wealthy to have good taste and a good sense of style. I write about the topics I am passionate about from fashion to food to decor.  I share with my readers all that interests and excites me, with the hopes of sharing new ideas and inspirations.

The Entertaining House has garnered attention from top brands from around the world.

In addition to writing for my own blog, I am an editor and writer with Freshome where many of my articles have been picked up by Bobvilla.com, Yahoo News and Dwellinggawker. I am also a regular contributor to CTBites, as well as, The Daily Basics where one of my articles was picked up by the Livestrong foundation. I am a contributing writer at Moffly Media and where I share kind finds in fashion, food and decor and most recently I have joined Leslie Wood and her talented team over at Hadley Court.

Yours,

Jessica
