Some songs are happy, some sad, some religious, & some just remind me of my man. Either way I hope it helps 🤍 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcNmb5bVmwEUVVRvaPn0vidWLYJ4o3EkD
Deployment Playlist
Author: Jess
Hi, I’m Jess!
I am a 23 year old from Ohio. My husband, Tyler and I love being parents to our 2 year old miracle baby, Ella. Tyler and I are newly weds! Unfortunately our first year of marriage is accompanied by a first time deployment. Beyond that I am just a girl who loves coffee, thrifting & a good time. This blog started because people have a hard time grasping two things:
1. a young mama ain’t a bad mama
2. You are more than a mom
Encouraged to inspire I am here to write and advocate for both sides. I want you to know my age does not depict my ability to be a mother. I also want you to know that I am far more than a mother, as are you.
Stick around, I write about some cool stuff from where I go, to where I shop & to my experiences shared as a young mom & wife.
Can’t wait to show you my world as a 23 year d mom and how I THRIVE in this chapter of my life.

How Are You Doing?
Deployment is a lonely island no one can prepare you for. Pre-baby days, towards the beginning of Tyler and I there was a night the two of us stayed in.

The Importance of YOU
How important is your identity? What makes you YOU? What defines you? What are your interests, your hobbies, your passions? What lights a fire in your soul?

She is now 18 months … Continue reading 20 Easter Basket Filler Ideas for Baby
