Maternity photo sessions haven’t always been a thing. I was talking to a group of moms with older kids and a few grandmas the other day, and none of them had done a maternity photo shoot. One of the grandmas said she thinks she has a picture of her putting together the crib when she…

A Whole New Gig

March 9, 2018

Jesyka Harris

When my boyfriend and I decided to have kids, we didn’t realize we would get pregnant almost immediately. I’m 35, and most of my friends (who haven’t already had kids) are having difficulties getting pregnant, so I am beyond grateful to have conceived so easily and without complications thus far!

What Should I Be Looking For In A Pediatrician?

November 15, 2017

With my first child, I had no idea what exactly to look for or what questions to ask to help me find the right pediatrician. Now, for my second baby, I kind of feel like I know the questions I want to ask, as well as what I want to hear. I had the pleasure…

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
