I’m happy to report that we managed to finish our first half marathon. My official race time was 2:48:33, which, while definitely not stellar, is acceptable and something to improve upon. Matt, after sprinting off around mile 7 after running with my slow self, finished in 2:34:09, which is great. And a shout-out to our [...]
You might’ve noticed that while we were out of town, my little man had a birthday! Yes, it’s true … Baby Ben turned 1 the same day mama and dada did their first 13.1 mile run! He had an excellent morning hanging out with his grandparents, big sister and aunt and uncle. That evening we [...]

The slacking on the cooking continues, sort of. I still do it, mostly, even when I don't feel like I've really got my A game, so that's something I guess. This week I finally tried a Green Monster. What is a Green Monster you ask? It is a smoothie with LOADS of spinach in it. [...]
Another nice weekend that went by way too fast. • I think I can officially say that Ben is walking. I remember it being different with Tabby … one day she just started walking, everywhere. But Ben is a bit more uncertain (and 2 months earlier) and is taking progressively longer strolls, now around rooms. [...]
Just a bit overdue, here are the kids on Easter. Aren’t they cute? They had a great time. Tabby elected to wear her b’day dress. I had a little sweater to put over it, but miraculously, we did not need it. Ben tried to eat chocolate with the wrappers still on, but mostly just enjoyed [...]
My name is Jess. I'm a 30ish wife and working mommy.

I love chocolate, wine, Photoshop, my Nikon and sleeping in. I do freelance design work for fun and marginal profit at JKN Designs. This is my blog. Read more »
