What I learned: pumpkins grow really well in our bakyard

-

 

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Seriously what in the world, we’re letting them keep growing to see if we actually get a few dozen pumpkins out of these babies but dang, normally I kill all plants and things are just doing well this year. Maybe it’s this mix of sun and rain we have but it’s kinda awesome.

Leo is still feeling a little under the weather and so we’re cancelling our afternoon activity plans and Jamie, Teddy, and I are hanging out in the backyard eating mini ice cream cones and enjoying the hot but still relatively bearable weather before the rain comes in from hurricane Beryl later this week. 

One of my sweetest friends is in Houston and she says even though there’s no power to be had everyone is doing well there. I miss her and I want to start traveling with the boys again but at the same time enjoying the little things like multiple quiet afternoons is pretty amazing. 

Here’s to hoping we don’t end up at the hospital with Leo from whatever this silliness that he’s got going on now.  😞

💛Jess

Hello, I’m going to try to keep up with this concept/challenge/link-up (seriously I need to figure out how to do that properly) from Mixandmatcama.com and alittlebitofeverythingblog.com for this year. It’s a once a month post about different things in each persons life and I love reading it on their blogs so it might be fun to look back on later in life about my own life. 🙂 I already shared my “resolutions” which are essentially these goals but here’s a recap a couple of weeks in of what is actually going to happen… I think. 1. Mailing a letter or card once a month to a friend I don’t talk to regularly. I still love this concept and it’s fun to try to keep connected with a couple of my sweet friends in a way that feels more personal but still doesn’t add too much to an already busy schedule. This will be the last week of the month and I can easily grab a card from the zoo or Trader Joe’s or just write a letter and it’ll still be fun. 2. Family Bible time. Originally I thought a nightl...

 Hey there! I'm Jess, a mom in Cincinnati Ohio, who is passionate about my family, doing my best to help the planet, and, hopefully, bringing a little positivity to the internet. I've worked on doing a practice blog for the past year to see if this is something that I want to pursue and it has been very therapeutic for me.  As an intro, because no one wants to hear me ramble in paragraph form, here's 10 things about me: 1. My family is my priority. Always.  2. I'm extremely type A and therefore already have a schedule for this, if my mother ever reads this she's likely rolling her eyes and telling me to chill. 3. I can't sit still and will therefore fill my schedule part a a coping mechanism and part just because it's me. 4. I've been working extremely hard this past year to prioritize things that serve our family and saying goodbye to whatever adds unnecessary stress. 5. I'm a hardcore Enneagram 2 (the helper) and therefore my professional backgroun...
