  • We need to celebrate Our Wins: To be "authentic," we show the messy side of motherhood, rather than Pinterest-perfect side. But, to be truly authentic, we need to celebrate our wins as well.

  • This month's Slow Motherhood Challenge is different. It's not about connecting, or letting them lead. It is Just Get Through it. Ok? That's it. We are in the midst of a global pandemic and we all need to survive this. No need to thrive right now. Just do whatever it takes to not feel like you're drowning. This will end.

  • Life Sucks and then it gets better: I binge watched "New Girl" the other day. Nick said to Jess, "life sucks, and then it gets better, and then it sucks again." It feels just like motherhood.

    Life Sucks, And then it Gets Better, and Then it Sucks Again

    “Life sucks and then it gets better, and then it sucks again.” Note: I wrote this well before all of the self-isolation laws were in place. It feels even more important to remember this now! — I saw this while…

  • DIY Non-toxic Easter Egg Dye: A few years ago, I wanted to get my toddler involved in our traditions. And, toddlers! Everything in their mouth. So, I made DIY non-toxic Easter egg dye.

  • How Failure Led to a Better Life

    Around the time my little one was three or four months old, I started failing at everything. Seriously. I could not get myself (or anything else, for that matter) together. And this failure might have been one of the better…

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.

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