Prayer Request

-

 Hello,

It’s been an eventful week for sure and so a short post today just asking for prayers for my family. I had to have an emergency surgery this week and am going to be in recovery for a while. I’ll be fine, but I am worried about my kids stress levels in all of this as they’re old enough to understand that Mom is sick, but young enough that they won’t fully get it and we want to keep their anxiety to a minimum.

Thank you for your prayers!!! I feel beyond grateful to have so many wonderful friends and family to support us!!! Literally my husband and parents are doing so much to keep life stable for the kids and my best friend stopped what she was doing yesterday to be in the hospital with me during the surgery and recovery. I could cry writing how much she means to me for being there when I needed her with so much love. 

Wishing you a day of love and light!

💛Jess

 Hello, I’m joining the party again this month, a big thank you to Shay from Mix and Match Mama  and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything  for setting this up and inviting us to share as well! 🥰 Grant and I are in a season of life that usually has our two little guys along for the ride. That means that we don’t have regular dinner dates or weekends away, but we find time that works in our schedule and season. 💛 1. Wednesday and Thursday Work Commute We are a one car family as we live in a city where parking isn’t always the easiest and we love the fact that it reduces our carbon impact and has the added bonus of allowing us to spend more time together. Grant takes public transportation to work Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, but on Wednesday and Thursday he works from a different location that doesn’t have an obvious route so I drive him between the kids drop off and heading over to the zoo. This time together is just us, we’re not on our phones, there’s no distractions o...

 Hello! This has been quite the week, but there is so much to be grateful for. It’s going to get a bit deep and frankly I need to not process a lot for a little while and just focus on gratitude so that I can deal with the grief in my own way and time. Thank you to Andrea from  Momfessionals  and Erika from  A Little Bit of Everything  for hosting this sweet link party every Friday! 💛 This has really helped me on my gratitude goal and also on taking pictures of all these wonderful things to remember and love! Here are my favorites from this week (in timeline order because that is how I can process right now): 1. Guerrera documentary  Some of the ladies that I trained with for our respective combat deployments participated in a documentary that came out last Saturday. They did an amazing job and I can speak from experience that this was a very accurate depiction for us. (Most of the ladies interviewing were from CST 5. I trained with them but ended up deplo...

Friday Favorites: February week 1

 Hello, It felt like this week was sprinting and I blinked and it’s already Friday. It’s going to be a really fun day with a Valentine’s Day dance for the boys at lunch today and I get to be one of the chaperones! My kids are little so I think we’re still in the stage of wanting mom around and I probably won’t do this when they get older so I’m going to soak in all the delighted hugs and excitement while we’re in this phase of parenting. 🥰 Here are some other favorites from this week though. Thank you to Andrea and Erika from  Momfessionals and Alittlebitofeverythingblog  for creating this “link party” 🥰 1. This pill device! If you have a child who has to take medicine regularly, finding a travel device that can store, cut, and crush pills is a game changer and I LOVE this  one.  I’ve bought it twice now so I carry one with me so we don’t miss a dose for him and I left one at the school as it’s the best all-in-one that I’ve found. 10/10 best gadget of the yea...
