About Me

Hi All! My name is Jessica and I am a Midwest mom of two in my 30’s. I live a very busy, fast paced life where it often feels hard to slow down and enjoy the small moments of life. I often find myself thinking what next; I’ll slow down once I accomplish this next goal and every time I reach that goal the what next thought comes in on a never ending loop. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great to have goals and always striving to improve ourselves but where do we find balance with that? This is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately.

I recently just had my second child and I again find myself thinking, it will be so much more rewarding when she can smile back at me…I won’t have to worry as much when she can support her own head and each milestone comes a new thought of a future, I’ll feel “better” when this milestone happens. This is the same thing I often do in my everyday life, but what about right now? Why do I constantly look to the future when I have so much to be grateful for and enjoy RIGHT NOW!

I’ve been working on it for awhile, being more present focused, and I am going to be honest, I’ve still got a longways to go. It’s so hard in such a chaotic, busy world we live in but if I am not mistaken, I think this is something a lot of us struggle with. So here’s my new goal, I want to share as many tips and tricks that I find to be helpful on this journey of finding balance of being goal orientate but still enjoying the present. If this sounds like something you’ve been struggling with too, I hope you’ll join me and we can go on this journey together of living intentionally!
