One of my favorite quotes is "necessity is the mother of
invention." I like to mix it up and say, "invention is a necessity of motherhood." I am using the creative side of my brain as much as when I
worked as a designer. Being a stay-at-home mom requires daily ingenuity to keep James (and me) entertained. Right now I am enjoying the challenge of
finding a little art and adventure in the everyday…
We went blackberry picking today for playgroup.
You can tell by their faces that harvesting is hard work when you have little hands:)
Most of the time our adventures are more low-key and imaginary.
Two other friends and I are trading off doing our own preschool. James's favorite part is wearing his daddy's backpack.
Mary Poppins was on to something. Chalk really is a magical medium with munchkins.
Sharing the dewberries with daddy after work.
I am feeling lucky to have my dream job thanks to John sitting behind a desk all day. I might have to make him a pie in appreciation. Recipes anyone??? Have a berry good week (sorry, couldn't resist:) Love, Jess

I agree with every single word you wrote my friend. And you are a great mommy
cute cute cute! I love your hat and James's new hair style! It is probably much cooler in that summer heat. I miss you

No one does it like you Jessica--I think we all wish we could be a little more Jesica-like in our lives. Even on this very challenging day, I am trying to find "the art" and adventure in it all. Thanks for being a constant reminder of this. I can't believe how much James "grew-up" with a simple snip of the scissors...and I can't believe that blackberries are ripe in May-what a garden of eden you live in!
You should be careful about putting the word "labor" in your post heading when you're in your condition. I got a little worried, cause I thought baby wasn't coming till September.
Those blackberries look amazing.
