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.

Hi Jessica!

I’m Tammy, new to my own blog, but have been lurking yours and several others for a while now ; ) My husband and I are expecting our first baby this spring, so I’m going through all the “I’m about to become a mom/can’t wait for baby to get here” stuff. You have a sweet little family and Knox is ADORBZ! Thanks for sharing with all of us – you rock!

Take Care.

Hi! Not sure how I stumbled across your blog, but glad I found a fellow South Carolina blogger! :) I have a 9 month old daughter, so I can totally relate to your Mommy posts. Hope you’re getting just a little bit of sleep with a newborn! :) Looking forward to following your blog!
