Hey y’all! I’m so glad you are here. Before you get started reading and browsing my website, I want you to learn about me.
I’m a southern girl. Born and raised in the heart of the Boston Mountains in Arkansas. I was raised on chocolate gravy & biscuits for breakfast and pinto beans & cornbread for dinner. Front porch sitting while drinking sweet tea and making memories with the cousins was an essential key to my childhood. My parents divorced when I was 9. We didn’t have much growing up, but we always knew that family was the key to life & Christ was the center of our home.
At 17 years old I became a Momma to an amazing daughter. I found myself in Iowa, and eventually made Iowa my home. It took a while to adapt this southern girl into a midwest girl, but it happened. 19 short months after becoming a Momma to my daughter, I became a boy mom too. At 19 I married my high school love, and we had a daughter 15 months after I had my son. We built our family on love, togetherness, & Christ. After almost 20 years together and 16 years of marriage, my high school love and I divorced. It was a devastating time for our family, but after over 2 years of knowing that our marriage wasn’t being surrounded by the same dreams & with God’s word to back my filing, the divorce became final.
After separation from my ex-husband, I spent much time in prayer and in God’s word. I found myself again. Someone that I had lost along the way in those 20ish years of being with my high school love. I tell you, finding myself again has been the greatest blessing for myself and my children. Which brought me to creating this website to share my love of life for all of you ladies and gentlemen out there just trying to live your best lives.
In finding myself, I can truly tell you who I am and what I love. I love my children with everything in me. They are my entire world. I love to workout. Working out is my favorite time of the day, and it is a great stress relief. The gym is a second home to me. I love to travel, meet people, go to concerts, and any type of outdoor activity within reason.
I met a man that completes me in June of 2020. It was highly unexpected, untimely, and all the things that any girl would say in their rebuild of life. He is truly my best friend, biggest supporter, and my one true love. He has made me completely whole. God blessed our union on June 7, 2025, and just after our wedding, we moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where we continue to live out our dreams.
I hope that you leave my website inspired to live your best life, chase your dreams, and be all that you can be.
Much Love,
Jessica
