No, you already have a mom.

No, you already have a mom.

If I am being honest with myself, I knew when he asked to call me mom, my answer was not coming from a kind and loving place. I knew I was coming from a "you already have a mom, and you are her responsibility, not mine" type of place. And, a place of "you are too much "work" for me."

Motherhood

Okay, you be the Mom and I will be the kid!

April 23, 2014March 11, 2020by MsjessicamariejamesLeave a Comment on Okay, you be the Mom and I will be the kid!

I’m willing to venture a guess that almost any adult would choose to go back to being a child in a heartbeat. No bills, less stress, maybe do better in school the second time around and ENJOY those naps! I mean, life for our kids these days is just so hard, they get bored, they [...]

Tough moms blend with the lid off!

Okay, so it is hard... it really is. And, honestly if you haven’t thought to yourself “What the hell am I doing here, or dealing with this for?” at least once, you aren't doing it right. Stepping into, or welcoming someone into a blended family - is much more than just another pound of ground [...]

Dads are kind-of Awesome!

April 1, 2014March 11, 2020by MsjessicamariejamesLeave a Comment on Dads are kind-of Awesome!

Dad verses mom appears to be an easy win for Moms, right? You'd think it would be a slam dunk because we are natural multi-taskers, nurturers, nurses, teachers, homemakers, maids, etc. I mean, come on, we literally do it all! Or, do we? We can tease them and share random facts which are absolutely true [...]

If I could have a word with you

March 23, 2014March 11, 2020by Msjessicamariejames2 Comments on If I could have a word with you

One of the most vital parts of being a parent is making mistakes. Mistakes are what causes growth and results in lessons and ultimately change. On a daily basis I make mistakes and there are times I lay awake at night reviewing those, and how I made them, why I made them – and how [...]

There’s been a lot of talk about Gabby Petito, domestic violence, and loving toxic people.
Since Gracie was a little girl and could mutter a sentence we have had this little saying, “I love you from Reese‘s pieces, stoplight, house.” We were driving down the street and we must’ve been eating Reese‘s pieces and passed a stoplight and then passed a house etc. And it just kind of stuck from there. Her being in Stillwater, and so far away on her birthday I wanted to do something special. I reached out to a local cookie decorator and baker in the Oklahoma area. Amanda @whisk__sugar was able to create the perfect cookies for Gracie! She was able to create an entire theme off of everything that I asked and incorporated the Reese’s pieces, the stoplight, and the house!!!
I read something this morning likening the love Jesus had for us in the Garden and ultimately dying on the cross to the love a mother has for her child. That there was no limit to how far a mother would go to protect her child, and Jesus was no different with us. We as mothers would endure that same torture to save our children.
She committed long before she got accepted. Now we’re all committed and it’s a family thing!
She's shown me that it's okay to be a little wild, different and outspoken. That it's beautiful to be uniquely unafraid to be bold and unapologetically yourself. That maybe it's okay to break the rules sometimes 😉 and march to the beat of your own drum.
God showed me my heart in his hands at a potter's wheel. It was stretched, worn out, and misused but still his piece of artwork that he lovingly held in his hands. He showed me how gently he holds us, how he wants to take the beautiful parts of us and add to them. And, cut away the rough edges. He’s shown me this when I pull weeds before but this was powerful in a different way because as he was holding me (my heart) and the pottery wheel began to spin he showed me how vital the water is to remolding the clay!
