In the fast-paced world of parenting, writing, and renovating, every day brings new challenges and triumphs for Jess, the creative mind behind the blog "This Mess With Jess." This blog offers a glimpse into the whirlwind life of a modern multitasking mom, juggling family, career, and home improvement projects with humor and authenticity.

From the moment Jess's alarm clock rudely interrupts her dreams, her day becomes a circus act of finding missing left shoes, checking homework, writing marathons in-between interruptions, DIY attempts, planning a wedding despite already being married over a decade now, training the "zoo" inhabitants her family has welcomed into their home, and breaking up sibling fights.
Life can be a wild ride, but when you throw in a couple who have always done things their own way, a house full of animals, a couple of sassy girls to raise, and the constant chaos of homeownership, you get a comedy show that never ends. Some days, it's like living in a sitcom—except there's no laugh track to remind us it’s all in good fun.
Juggling the chaos of raising kids while penning her novel is like trying to ride a unicycle on a tightrope, but Jess manages it with the poise of a drunk trapeze artist and a hefty dose of self-mockery. Join Jess in this adventure as she navigates the rollercoaster of marriage and parenting, or whether she's wrangling her energetic kids, tackling a renovation project, or typing furiously at her computer, Jess is the epitome of a modern-day Mom. Her blog "This Mess With Jess" is more than just a digital diary—it's a source of inspiration, plenty of entertainment, and community for readers navigating their own chaotic and beautiful lives.
