Even Papa needs to be shown a little love….   I'd like to take a moment to be gushy. From time to time, every girl needs to be, and this mama is no exception. It’s not enough to just say I love him, or that he's the best thing that could have happened to our three children and me, because it’s so much more. Today, I celebrate my four year anniversary with Joe, the love of my life, and through all the trials and tribulations, he's always been right there by my side. I recall once when I was younger, my Aunt telling me, “Amy, the only man you will ever be with is a guy that … [Read more...]

Note to Self: Quit Pooping on My Own Parade

jessi's signature rep

As we've been working on the blog and ourselves, I've been thinking a gimungo-ton (that's an actual unit of measurement as far as I'm concerned) about things in my life, work and relationships that I'd like to see change or improve. I've spent more time in front of a mirror (both literally and figuratively) picking myself apart than I'm proud to admit. It occurred to me tonight (during one such self-deprecating episode) that while I get a little thrill when I think of the fabulous future that awaits, I'm actually making myself more negative about the present. Honestly, I was more than … [Read more...]

My typical day starts at 6am and doesn't stop until around 11pm (if I'm lucky). My days and nights are always hectic, which is a tune that just about every mom is singing.
