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. —————— Let’s be friends! follow on Instagram: _justlikejess follow on Pinterest: justlikejess_
