About Me

Hello! Thank you for stopping by Bliss This Mess!

My name is Jessica, and I created this blog to share my favorite tips, tricks, and activities while navigating raising kids. It is certainly a full time job, with plenty of overtime hours mixed in there too. When I’m not busy being a mom, I’m tackling the next best DIY craft, cooking up something delicious, plugging into a good podcast, or simply enjoying some sunshine and fresh air.

The Bliss This Mess Crew

My husband, Aaron, and I have been married for ten years. We have six wonderful kids, Brody (9), Mackenzie (7), Lillian (5), Chloe (4), Amelia (2), and Brayden (4 months). 

Our love story is very non-traditional. My husband and I were friends for awhile before we officially started dating. He was busy kicking off his career in construction running a concrete pump and I was in my first year at college. Three months into our relationship, we found out we were pregnant. A month later he proposed and a month after that, we got married. Shortly after we had Brody, then we bought our first house and went on to have kid after kid after kid after kid…after kid.

Life hasn’t slowed down since.

We used to live in the beautiful state of Colorado. But after listening to a gut feeling we had that there was something better out there worth pursuing, we took a huge leap of faith and moved our family to Tennessee.

My husband works really hard for our family so that I can continue staying home and homeschooling this bunch. So although my husband is not often featured on the blog, just know he plays a huge part behind the scenes. Without him, none of this would be possible!

How This Blog Came to Be

The number one question I am often asked is “how do you do it?” And I wish I had some magical advice that would help this make sense to those that think I’m absolutely nuts. But I just do it! All of the good times, challenging times, long days and never-ending messes, I will keep doing it because this right here, is my bliss.

I’d love for you to join me by following me on social media, signing up for my email newsletter, or leaving a comment whenever you resonate with what I’m writing about.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
