About Me
Hey y’all. I’m Jessica, a Jesus-loving, self-professed Southern belle born and raised in South Carolina. I married my firefighter husband, Trevor, May 10, 2008, and after a struggle with infertility, we were incredibly blessed to get pregnant with our amazing son, Knox. Upon his arrival in January 2010, I transformed from a prissy, primped-to-perfection, high-heel-wearing girl, to a neurotic, obsessive mama that is lucky to even get a shower and slap on some Chap-stik before the baby wakes up… AGAIN.
We’re so thrilled that Baby #2, Brody, arrived on February 13, 2012. I’m pretty sure I’ll never sleep again, but that’s okay (it’s worth it!). Soon after Brody was born, I started suffering from Post Partum Anxiety, and I’m currently working through it (with some help from my buddy, Zoloft).
After our first son was born, my husband and I changed our lifestyles in order to become better Christians and live our lives according to God’s purpose for us. It’s a learning process, but we are so happy with where we’ve been led.
This blog is where I ramble on about my every freak out (of which there are MANY), getting closer to the Lord, going Green, breast feeding, my stretch marks and any other tidbit I think you may be interested in reading about. I promise to be overly graphic, descriptive and give you WAY too much information.
