For decades, I have lived sustainably. From our kitchen and home products to my ethical fashion wardrobe. But, I was slow to embrace natural beauty. It took a pregnancy. Now, I won't put it on my skin if I can't eat it. Here's why it took so long and a few of my favorite products. #naturalbeauty | #ethicalbeauty | #cleanbeauty

It Took Having a Baby to Switch to Natural Beauty

For at least a few decades, I have considered myself an environmentalist. But, for some reason, it took me awhile to embrace ethical, clean natural beauty. When I was younger I wasn’t all that concerned with clean and natural beauty….

Why I choose process goals over outcome goals: Now more than ever, our goals may feel farther out of reach. Will I be able to finish that marathon? Will there even be a marathon? Who knows? This is why I choose process goals over outcome goals. #UnlikelyWAHM | #Timemanagementformoms | #processgoals | #outcomegoals | #goalsetting

Why I Choose Process Goals over Outcome Goals

I started writing this post months ago, right around the new year and never published it. I wrote about how during this time of year (the new year), we often reevaluate our goals and create new ones. We choose outcome…

Well.. we are halfway through this uncertain, unpredictable, challenging, interesting...however you want to describe it... year. So, I am taking some time to reevaluate (and add to) my word of the year. Have you taken time to update, reconsider, completely redo your word of the year? What does it look like now? How has your focus shifted or has it remained the same? Here is my update and shift for the remainder of 2020. #unlikelywahm | #slowmotherhood | #wordoftheyear | #focus | #presence | #patience | #persistence | #practice | #progress

Word of the Year: An Update for 2020

I talk a lot about creating a designated workspace swhen you work at home. Sometimes, it doesn't happen. This is what working at home looks like, sometimes. It is important to separate work from home, otherwise they bleed into each other and it is hard to mindfully work on either one. But.. Someone needs something, your workspace gets used for something else (dinner, crafts, storage). #unlikelywahm | #workathomemom | #workspace | #workathomewithkids

What Working at Home Looks Like, Sometimes

I write a lot about making a space for work. Even if you don’t have an official home office, it is so important to set aside an area or at least an “indicator” that you are working. You need to…

I am not sure what it is about being environmentally conscious that also makes us interested in natural childbirth, extended breastfeeding, and a gentler approach to children, but it seems like there is a definite overlap, at least in my…

We spend our lives running around, filling our time, but during this pandemic, many of us have been forced to do less. So, let's Do Nothing. With intention. Let's slow down, and engage with our kids in a meaningful way. Do Nothing on purpose. Watch them, sit with them, eat slowly with them. Find the space to just stare at them. #UnlikelyWAHM | #SlowMotherhoodChallenge | #DoNothing | #Donothingchallenge

Slow Motherhood Challenge: Do Nothing

A few months ago, if you asked me, “What happens when you don’t keep the kids busy? If you stay at home and do nothing?” I would have answered that they would get stir crazy and eventually getting whiny and…

Hey! It is nice to meet you!

Sustainable, Simple, Slow LivingHi, I’m Jess. I’m a crunchy mama of two little boys who are almost always outrunning me. I do my best to let them lead and to sit in stillness and watch them. Like most moms, I struggle daily with patience (it is the thing I work on the most). I also struggle with presence, and it is at the heart of slow motherhood. 

This is my little space to help you find peace and ease by making your life simple, sustainable, slow
