About Me

Hi there, I'm jess.

I'm the Mom to a beautiful son and two silly miniature labradoodles, and a wife to a very patient husband. We live in Roanoke VA where we love to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains.

In 2023, after 2 years of trying to conceive, we finally had a positive pregnancy test (3 days before our first IVF consultation!). It was a day filled with such wonder and joy....and quickly followed by "oh man, I have so much to learn before this kiddo meets the world!"

I'm a Type A++ personality to the max and wanted to know everything as quickly as possible to have a healthy pregnancy, prepare for baby, and also not drive both myself and my husband batty.

Well...turns out the internet is full of information that at times was overwhelming, confusing and scary. Plus looking back, I can tell that some of it was unnecessarily overwhelming, confusing and scary. Plus plus I have found so many more resources since then that I would love to share with all the new (or repeating) mamas out there.

My mission here is to gather and share all the beautiful resources I discovered through my journey to become the mom in our family so that other moms can have a beautiful, supported journey, too.
