Welcome, friends!

I’m Jeanie Marie, the heart behind Jeanie Marie Home—and while it may look like a one-woman show, my husband Vince is always right beside me. He’s the guy behind the camera, our resident handyman, chef, tech support, and my forever adventure buddy. Together, we’re all about creating a life that feels meaningful, cozy, and a little wild around the edges.

About Us

We’re high school sweethearts who built our first home in a tiny Minnesota town, where we raised chickens and sheep, soaked in endless Midwest sunsets, and welcomed home our beloved cat, Ozzy. Somewhere along the way, we caught the travel bug—and since 2015, we’ve explored over 40 countries together! But it was one unforgettable road trip through the Southwest that changed everything.

We decided to move to Colorado for a few fun-filled years, but eventually we followed our hearts (and the sunshine) to Tucson, Arizona—trading snowstorms for saguaros and busy weekends for slower, soul-filling desert days.

You can visit a place and leave a piece of your heart behind… or you can stay and let it fill you instead.

These days, we’re leaning into the beauty of home life. Vince works in cyber security, I run my own business, and together we’re finding joy in the little things—exploring the desert, DIY projects, and creating a home that feels like a true reflection of us.

At Jeanie Marie Home, I share bits of our desert life, a love for all things Southwest, home décor, lifestyle inspiration, and a sprinkle of travel too. It’s our happy place—and we’re so glad you’re here to be part of it.

Welcome to our little corner of the Sonoran Desert! For more desert living tips and inspiration, be sure to check out the blog—and don’t forget to follow along on Instagram for behind-the-scenes moments and everyday life in the desert.
