About

Hi, I’m Jessi!
Nice to meet you!

I am in lucky in love with my handsome husband David and slightly obsessed with my baby girl: Remi Jane.

I come from one bad ass mom who taught me how to be positive, work hard, and play harder. My grandma is one of the best cooks, hosts and crafters around. You will find all the things these women entwined in me, shared throughout these blog pages!

I am a mama + wifey by day, and a labor and delivery nurse by night. I am also on the Life Flight team as a high-risk OB nurse.

On my days free, you will find me outside, looking for adventure, in a concert tee, jammin’ out to all my favorite songs;
taking too many pictures, cooking, soul-searching and making sure everyone around me is taken care of. 

I love to play outside whether in the sun or in the snow. I never want to stop traveling the world, and connecting with similar spirits.

Every day I strive to live a present life, filled with love and kindness. I hope to radiate some of that sunshine in this space. Hopefully you will find something lovely here.♥

“When you can’t find the sunshine, be the sunshine.”

Let’s share in that sunshine!

I am continuously searching for ways grow.

To be healthier, greener, and stronger.

To love more.

To learn and to inspire.

To give more, and to take less.

If you are too– LET’S CONNECT! 🙂
