How are you holding up? So many of you asked me this! And honestly— you are all way too nice to me! But since you asked— I feel like doing THIS sharing these moments with all of you is EXACTLY what I am meant to be doing right now. When I tell you going on book tour, meeting hundreds of people would have scared the SHIT out of Jessica pre- children… I mean it. Having kids made me have to be brave for them. This mom was not about to let the kids miss out because I was scared. So I push myself— with nudges and shoves from Matt and Emily. Trust me, I didn’t get here on my own. Before kids, going to a crowded pumpkin patch would have sent me running. In fact, if you ask Matt he will tell you how many times I chickened out of doing things because there were too many people and I was scared. I would make him drive to the places I wanted to go, we would pull in, and before we got out of the car I would make him take me back home. No. I’m not kidding. Social anxiety is real. Having a panic attack in the middle of a grocery store is something I have gone through on more than one occasion. I’m much less anxious about things like this now, and for that I can thank Matt encouraging me and Emily pushing me to do what scares me. To all of you who faced your fears and came to see me. I see you. I’m SO incredibly proud of you. I know first hand how scary leaving your house, leaving your comfort zone and pushing your personal limits is. I’m so grateful to meet you to hear your stories and to share mine with you as well! This is the wildest ride of my life and I couldn’t be more honored to share it with each and every one of you! #LTKdayinmylife #LTKootd #LTKfoodie

This year I’m buying new Christmas decorations. Just a few things. I fact, I do this every year. I buy a few items to add to my existing collection. Many of the decorations I have are thrifted over the years, or bought second hand off of marketplace. Currently I’m hunting for a Christmas village, something vintage with that cozy 90s vibe I love so much. I will definitely show you if I hit the jackpot on one! So far this year I bought some new garland and some curtains that definitely feel more festive than the beautiful springy blue ones Emily made for me. Those will go back up after Christmas is over. But today I am starting slowly with decorating. I’m just swapping out the curtains. I am not sure where my existing decorations will fit into our new house, and since I’m a total creature of habit, everything goes in the same spot year after year. So this year, in our new house, I’m giving myself time to figure it all out, even if I’m usually completely decorated for Christmas by this time of year. Yes, I am an early decorator— you caught me. I know I will want to buy some new decorations to make this house feel like home, but I plan to get as much as I can second hand. There is something extra special about preloved Christmas decorations. It’s like they have magic built in. Maybe it’s because you have to hunt for them or maybe because other families have enjoyed them before you and a little Christmas magic clings to each item every time they are packed away. Whatever the reason, I hope my kids grow up remembering the collection of Christmas items I spent years building. Something’s old, something’s new, but all a part of the backdrop of their childhood christmas memories. Linking the newer version of my pants! #LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Puppy chow from my cookbook! #LTKvlog #LTKfoodie #LTKHome
This is faster than takeout because at my house takeout takes 45 minutes to arrive and this comes together right around 30 minutes start to finish and it is just as good if not better than some of the takeout I have had. #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKfoodie
If you need me I will be eating Doritos with unicorn chopsticks and signing bookplates until my arm falls off. If you’re thinking “Jessica… why the unicorn chopsticks?” I’m so glad you asked — I don’t want to RUIN EVERYTHING and get Dorito dust on these signatures, and ya girl is in need of a snickety snack. Don’t judge me! #LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife #LTKstorytime

There are 500 things I should be doing but I took 10 mins for me this morning and did my makeup. @ulta @Tarte #LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare
This is what I’m calling Midwest glam. Is it correct? No. Probably not. Am I cute as hell. YUP! I am a makeup lover even if I don’t do it correctly. I love to be a bare faced girly in the summer when I’m in the pool and playing with the kids, because makeup on those days feels pointless, but something about getting just a LITTLE glammed up makes me feel so special! #LTKBeauty #LTKfoodie #LTKgrwm
This is my super realistic bedtime routine. I’m not a complicated lady. #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKdayinmylife

Late night snack therapy while watching The Mortician—yes, alone, because my husband "doesn’t like true crime." Honestly? Rude. But thankfully these sloppy chicken nachos are here to support me emotionally and spiritually while I scare myself on purpose. Snacks are my coping mechanism and also my moral support group. #LTKFamily #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome
Sloppy Chicken Joe Stuffed Baked Potatoes because dinner didn’t make itself (rude) and once again I was on the hook. Never made this before but I threw it together and surprise—it’s actually amazing. But of course it’s good…I made it #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip #LTKHome
