THE JESS ELAINE

Off the Map.

—

In a fit of rage, my almost three year old hid my phone.

That was Friday.

Talk about subtle hints, huh?

After a day of turning our house upside down (which by the way was a very good excuse to clean every nook and cranny of our lives) to no avail, I went about my busy day Saturday.

And you know what?

I barely missed it at all.

I mean, at first the idea of leaving my house without my phone was scary, almost downright terrifying. What if something happened? What if I got lost? What if I needed help? But I pressed on, because with or without an Iphone, life goes on.

And you know what?

I survived.

I also learned a huge lesson. Relying on my phone all the time is downright stupid. It disrupts my moments, and it inhibits me from encountering actual human interaction. I’ve become a cell phone addicted fembot. Ew. Gross.

That silly little machine, actually had the ability to make me fear life without it. How stupid is that?

This weekend was a real eye opener.

It’s not so bad living off the map.

● About Me

I’m Jess, a wife and mom of 6 that hides behind this blog screen. I’m a color, giltter, sparkle fan, shopaholic, comfort fashionista, dance instructor, and self proclaimed old “vintage loving” soul, who believes in living LOUD and in your true Vibe. Follow along as I figure out life because I’m just here doing the very best I can. Often you’ll find me on the sports field, at a dance competition or taking spotty mirrored selfies of my wacky boho fits.

While I’m not here to rewrite Hemingway, I hope you’ll find a giggle, or a smile somewhere in these posts.

Thanks for stopping by!
