Yesterday, while at his sitter’s house, Ben got a time out for playing in the toilet … right after Tabby had peed. Yea, lovely, I know. So while serving his time out he got a little bored … and hungry, apparently. Lucky for him, sissy had done an art project at school where she used [...]
After having my kids in my car for over 4 hours this weekend, it is a bit … disgusting. I found pieces of quesadilla and a chunk of mushed (and then hardened) banana this morning. I really need to clean it, but that thought is almost as unappealing as the mess, especially since we would [...]
Once again we abandoned hearth and home and headed for the hills this weekend. My uncle’s family had our family, my mom and sister, and a couple of other families we work with up to his lake house for the weekend. You could have not asked for better company or a more beautiful location to [...]

A friend sent me a text (at 9:30 PM, no less) last night, wanting to see if I want to run a 10mile race with her on Sept 5 (i.e. less than two weeks from now). And of course, I said yes. I’m probably slightly mental and a bit sleep deprived, or maybe bolstered by [...]
This is crazy Back-to-School week for us (and most of the rest of the country, it seems). Tabby starts school Thursday and as coincidence would have it, our sitter is off this week, so we are farming out the kids to various helping hands throughout the week, including my mom, my aunt, a family friend [...]
Sunday Matt and I were supposed to run the Heart and Sole Half Marathon. This would have been our 3rd Half Marathon of this calendar year, and our 7th overall, but due to the insanely crazy lives we lead, we have not been running much. My longest recent run was an 8 miler with my [...]
Nine years ago today, I walked on the arm of my handsome father down an aisle to be formally bonded to the man of my dreams. He is not perfect, but he is perfect for me. An awesome husband. A wonderful dad. An amazing friend. Wow. I am so lucky. Nine years of fun and [...]
So now that we’re back from camping, what is going on this week? Plenty. We went to see Cars 2 with some friends last night. We’d already seen it in Nashville but Ben was on a tear that day and Matt and I both missed a few scenes taking him to the hall. He did [...]
I won’t lie. I’m a bit stressed at the moment. Things in our house keep breaking, including our A/C and I’m supposed to be hosting Bunco on Thursday. But I won’t think about that right now … I will think about our first camping trip and how well it went. We went to the lovely [...]
My name is Jess. I'm a 30ish wife and working mommy. I love spending time with my family and friends, crafting up weird and beautiful things, cooking delicious food and running lots of miles to work it off. 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 »
