MY STORY

Thank You for Being Here!

My name is Jessica, and I've loved to write for as long as I can remember. I've also loved blogging and the thought of helping and connecting with others. It's something I've done off and on since probably 2013, but I was never consistent and it never stuck.

If you've made your way to this page, you probably are wondering about who I am, what I do, and why. So here goes!

I'm first and foremost a believer in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My belief that this is a real & true event that actually happened shapes my faith and the way I aim to live my life. I believe the Bible is the Word of God and that it is true. I hope you will see that reflected throughout my writings here. I am a wife and a mother. I believe that my work at home is the most important work that I do. I enjoy taking care of my home and especially the people inside of it- whether that is through creating a clean, cozy environment or making sure they have good food to eat. As I'm sure you can tell by my blog content, I love a good checklist. I especially love warm sunshine, outdoor adventures, and celebrating the seasons.

My Family

I met my husband through mutual friends in the summer of 2013, though we wouldn't begin dating until nearly three years later - December 2015. We got engaged in December 2018 and married in August 2019. I wholeheartedly recommend marrying your best friend, and can easily say that my life since August 2019 has been my favorite chapter so far. We now have two beautiful children - Kinsley (4) and Ryder (1). I'm lucky enough to have found a flexible job that allows me to work part-time from home with them, which I have been doing since Ryder was born.

What You'll Find Here

I try to make posts as short and sweet as possible while still being helpful. After all, the purpose of this website is to help you take back your time, not waste it! I like to share things I'm excited about - and I get excited about a lot of things! Good food, road trips, time-saving products, holidays, effective routines.... these are all things you'll likely find me talking about. Basically, if I feel like it could help somebody reclaim some time or feel less overwhelmed managing the mental load of motherload, I want to write about it. You'll also find some Jesus sprinkled in, because as I mentioned above, my faith is a huge part of how I strive to live.

I hope you find value here and if you've got something specific you'd like to see, please let me know!
