Under Pressure, Bowie style.
Sometimes you have those friends who kick you out of your writing slump and use a writing challenge to get you back into the groove of things. My friend Brittany did just that when she instituted the first month of writing prompts. Seeing as how my posts have been dwindling lately, I chose the prompt…

One Pyramid short from being Egyptian.
Everyday I log into Facebook and am asked to join a new Facebook group of someone selling the most amazing thing. And like clockwork, I fall for it. Every. Single. Time. It’s almost like I have this underlying attraction to the pyramid schemes. I literally will take whatever bait you are giving me. Got a…

10 lessons I learned from my 10 year reunion.
Name tags for days. Last weekend I had my high school reunion. I know, the whole thing snuck up on me pretty fast…too fast for me to get fake boobs or rent a really expensive car, so I begrudgingly did as all rational thinking women do, and cut my hair into a pixie. Because…

Flying under the Radar.
A few weeks ago I lost my driver’s license. In true Jess fashion, I decided to go with the “wait and see” option of finding it, and as it turns out, it still hasn’t showed it’s face, which is a total bummer in my opinion because it was a great picture…taken when I was 25…

All the things.
First of all, let me start out by saying how tired newborns make me. I mean, I’m getting used to the sleep patterns and the craziness that are my two very jealous boys constantly vieing for my attention, but one thing I have yet to do is to venture out into the world on my…

Hashtag Camp Throwback.
The idea of sleep away camp always terrified me as a kid. As a chronic bed wetter, and full on awkward geek, I always dreamed of going to camp and finding my long lost British twin sister, but knew that with my fear of meeting new people and over protective parents, that the dream probably…

Walking and chewing gum.
This doing multiple things at a time isn’t easy at all. I mean, how is it that I totally forget how little and vulnerable newborns are? Just two weeks old and this tiny, new human already has me wrapped around her perfect little finger. The whole thing is mind boggling really. I just can’t explain…
