Hi, I’m Jessica Hensen

I’m the Mom behind House of Hensen where I share family activities in the Charlotte and surrounding areas. I was born and raised in a small town in southern Virginia, received a Journalism degree from the University of Tennessee and I have now lived in Charlotte for almost 18 years. When I’m not out exploring, I’m a bible study table leader, PTA Committee Chair at our school, and part of the Family Engagement Team at Charlotte Family Housing.

I’m a mom of two and I started sharing our adventures in 2021 when I noticed a lack of resources to help parents find things to do in our area. We’ve always loved getting out of the house and exploring as a family so I began sharing our family outings online.

Whether you’re looking for a new playground, kid-friendly restaurant, family travel idea or anything in between, I’m here to help! I’ve learned all the best spots and hidden gems and I love sharing them with you.

This community means the world to me and I’m so glad you’re here!

Be sure to follow me on Instagram and TikTok where I share most of my posts and videos on our adventures.
