Grace in the Balance

About Me

Hey, y’all!


Welcome to my virtual home, a place where I like to share my thoughts, ideas, and creations. I’m Jess—a dreamer at heart with a passion for creating beauty, finding purpose, and embracing the messy yet meaningful moments of life.

I’m incredibly grateful to God for the life I’ve been given—a life filled with blessings as the wife of my high school sweetheart and mom to my amazing children (some born from my womb, others from my heart). Every day, I’m humbled by the grace to carry this full, sometimes chaotic, but beautiful life!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been someone with big dreams and a deep desire to make the world a better place. Along the way, I’ve discovered a love for simplifying and streamlining life. Whether it’s creating systems to bring order to the chaos or finding small ways to add beauty and joy to everyday routines, I believe life is easier—and more enjoyable—when we focus on what truly matters, and sometimes it’s the little things.

One thing I’d like to normalize is the beauty of ordinary and imperfect living. Life isn’t always picture-perfect, and that’s okay. I aim to be transparent and authentic, connecting with moms who sometimes serve cereal for dinner, skip the makeup, or live in homes and cars that are comfortably “lived in.” Sure, I love cleanliness and organization as much as the next person, but realistically, life gets messy sometimes—and that’s where the magic happens.

Let’s be honest, being a mom means juggling the weight of the world on our shoulders. Many days we are left feeling scatterbrained and overwhelmed, and sometimes, we are just trying to surviving the day. And that’s okay, too. My heart is to remind moms that they’re not alone. Life doesn’t have to look like the polished perfection of social media to be meaningful, joyful, or beautiful.

To my fellow wives, moms, homemakers, and those of you that are all three of those and then some: you don’t have to lose yourself or your creative spark in the chaos of life. I want to encourage you to embrace your unique gifts and find purpose in every season. Whether you’re shining bright or simply surviving, you are enough.

So, grab your favorite drink (I’m a coffee or tea kind of girl), get comfy, and stay awhile. I pray this space offers you inspiration, hope, and encouragement. And hey—don’t be a stranger! I’d love to get to know you.
