Jessica is a mom to three amazing and crazy children, writer, and self confessed news junkie ( when the news is of quality or has to do with the weather). With over 10 years experience in the publishing industry, she created this website as an outlet for women. Her passion is helping women of all ages find a sense of belonging and community through written word.
