• I loved seeing all of the @chatgpt generated #beatricepotter photos. I asked it to generate a gothic style sketch of this shot and it did not disappoint! I want more 👀 if you do this, use #moodymomentswithjess and I'll share my favorites in stories every Monday ✨️🖤

✨️My dad laughed as we were sitting by the fire, “the kids could have all the toys and gadgets and they’ll sit for hours making art on the concrete with bits of ash chunks from the fire.”

It’s true. Moments like this remind me of how beautiful it is to ground ourselves outside — that nature is a canvas and provides us with all the tools we need to create beauty.

What would you like to see this season? Outdoor living with kids? Patio entertainment with friends? Connecting a love for the outdoors with daily living? Let me know — there are exciting projects in the works, mortals.

ALSO — please use #moodymomentswithjess with your own posts/reels that hit a mood for you and I will share my favorites every Monday. Home, garden, nature, pets — literally anything that strikes a mood, mortals. ✨️

🌿Enjoy and soak in this time of renewal as the earth awakens🌿

•• Rituals. Do you have any to close out your day? Some say a prayer, write in a journal, meditate, hum a familiar tune, give thanks for the day — these are the practices that ground us, make us feel settled in a world that often isn’t.

I light three candles, dim the lights, listen to music, write, read, moisturize (I’m a slippery sucker), and visualize a good day ahead — maybe I’ll create something, inspire someone, love better…who knows? But I believe. How about you? ••

•• I gave the dogs a shower today...they needed it...but also, our bathroom was desperate for me to clean it 🫣 so it's a two birds, one stone situation.

Well. I went to clean the toilet and found strips of toilet paper lined across the bowl between the seat and rim. Line one of those pranks when someone puts clear wrap over the bowl so pee goes everywhere....

It was Molly. Molly has been booby-trapping the bathrooms. I'll share pics in my stories 🤣💀 **

•• A box of Victorian treasures •• My mother-in-law gifted me this box years and years ago. I'm not one to hold on to stuff - but somehow, this box has always called to me... hushed whispers to keep it.

Now, it sits on my writing desk like a warm fuzzy - something that grounds me to a time and space I'm only visiting - a beautiful reminder of temporary moments and lifelong memories. ••

People complicate the world, don’t you think? On the one hand, there are people whose very presence is an inspiration. They coax the best out of every life they touch. It’s as if light radiates from their soul…you can almost see its glow if you look hard enough. These are the folks that stand firm… [Continue Reading]
CW: themes of death, childhood death, anxiety It’s no secret I’m a night owl, always have been. There hasn’t been a moment in my life when I’ve felt the natural pull to rest my weary head at a decent hour. My least favorite quote? “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy,… [Continue Reading]
The US Army chorus sang “One More Day” from Les Misérables — a protest anthem from one of the most powerful musicals of all time. If you’re not familiar, Les Misérables examines the societal and political impacts of unjust government and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. So, the US Army chorale… [Continue Reading]
It feels weird. Trying to blog about mundane things like laundry room organization when life quite literally feels on the cusp of…something. I’ve talked about my own struggle with posting “normal” life during times that pull us out of our own bubbles and push us into the world as it is — a messy, torturous… [Continue Reading]
I wrote this at 2 AM with a fever of 104 last month (pneumonia is a beast). It’s one of the many pieces I’ve written with no intention of sharing publicly. I often fight with myself — wondering if my words have the meaning I intend, feeling as though I’m robbed of eloquence, or that… [Continue Reading]
