    How to Find More Joy in Motherhood: Slow Down

    Last month, I received an email from The Parenting Junkie with the subject line “most parents hate parenting.” It broke my heart. It is hard, but I love motherhood. And, I believe that slowing down has allowed me to love it. By embracing slow motherhood, we give ourselves time to take care of ourselves as well as our kids. It allows us to find more joy in motherhood. #selfcare #slowmotherhood #slowdown #lovemotherhood #magicofmotherhood #intentionalmotherhood #mindfulmotherhood

I have found a mix of great products that have improved my skin dramatically and lend themselves to a calming evening ritual. #selfcare #sleepcare #nighttimeroutine #nighttimeritual #ethicalbeauty #ethicalskincare

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
