About Jess


Me, Gertie, Toby

  Hi…I’m Jessica. The other half of this amazing blog. I am 30-something years old and live with my husband (Toby),dog-daughter  (Gertie),son (Leo), and daughter (Cece) in Simpsonville, SC. 



Leo Beck
I am a teacher of 8th graders. (Prayers for me are always welcome!) My favorite subjects to teach are History and English. I have been voted “Teacher of the Year” at the Jr. High where I work 2x’s….so apparently, I have a knack for it.  I adore my job and the peeps I work with……..some days more than others.  Sure, there are days when I want to throw in the towel and go back to school and become a nurse….. But eventually I come back to reality and realize that teaching is where I’m meant to me. It chose me.

In my spare time I love to cook, read books and gossip magazines, do crafts, exercise, watch reality TV,browse Pintrest and FB,and shop for the kido-s and my house.
 
 My family and friends make me extremely happy! I also am pleased by simple things like the ice cream isle in grocery stores, dirty martinis, and “deals that are steals”. Some things that will NEVER make me happy are onions, animal/child abuse, my bank account, and the number on my scale. But, you can’t win ‘em all, right?
 
 Thanks for reading our blog. I (we) hope you enjoy it….. and if you don’t, then at least we had fun writing it!! My hope for this blog is that maybe someday my children will sit down and read through the different posts, and learn more about their dear ole mom! And MAYBE think she's pretty cool....or something like that.
