I’m Jess and we live in the Sussex countryside with 2 of our 5 boys (now 9 and 17), our Golden Retriever and 2 cats. I’ve been with Russ for 12 years (both previously divorced), and between us we have 5 boys – Casper 9, Bruno 16, Hugo 17, Marley 20 and Noah 22. I love preloved EVERYTHING, carboot sales, antiques fairs, learning new crafts (quilting and embroidery are my current faves), interiors, spending time at our beach hut and watching our boys play football.

My mission is simple: remind mothers that they’re not on their own. Through my own experiences as a young mum, single mum, mum to the ‘naughty’ (later diagnosed as neurodivergent) boy and many more, there’s been plenty of times I’ve felt pretty isolated. Here, through sharing and honesty, I hope to reach those people who might be having a shit day, to remind them they’re most definitely not alone.

For what we’re up to on a daily basis, head over to my instagram community and say hi!
