Rooms of Thought

Hi, I'm Jessica!

WELCOME TO MY ROOMS OF THOUGHT 💭

Do you ever feel your mind buzzing with ideas, and you don't know quite what to do with it all?

Do you pour most of your energy in your career or in family life (or both), and wish you just had a little more time to focus on your own interests?

Do your thoughts try to do this... But instead you end up with this...?

If so, you're not alone, my friend. And that's why I've created this space.

This blog is simply a home for my thoughts and ideas. Nothing fancy. I've got nothing to sell or promote. No ads. If that's what you're looking for, you may have come to the wrong place. But if you want inspiration, creativity, and honest reflection... then know that you, too, can make your home here.

READY FOR A TOUR?

The Playroom

The room where the magic of childhood happens. Where play and learning intersect. In this room of thought, you can find ideas for toddler activities, sensory bins, and reflection on the importance of play in childhood as a whole.

The Kitchen

The room where all sorts of delicious things are cooked up.
In this room of thought, you can find original recipes, recipe reviews, and twists on a few classics! Minimal, clean ingredients is always the goal here, and tastiness, of course!

The Library

The room lined wall-to-wall with books (or at least that's #goals). In this room of thought, you can find book reviews and recommendations! Anything from fiction books to business books, to memoirs, and even kids' book hauls.

The Front Porch

Where I do my best thinking, usually about the types of things that can’t fit into a room. In this room of thought, you can find musings about life, motherhood, marriage, entrepreneurship, mental health, and some creative writing.

Hey friend, glad you're here!

I'm Jessica. I'm a wife, mom, business owner, and chronic over-thinker. I love to create, love to read, love to cook, and - as an introverted Enneagram 9 - am always looking for opportunities to stretch myself. This blog is a space for that.
