Hi, I’m Jessica—writer, homeschool mom with a background in education, and the heart behind Inspire the Mom. My husband and I live on a blueberry farm in Oregon where we’re raising three kids, growing food, chasing chickens, and learning as we go.

I’m an author, a believer, and a big fan of quiet mornings, nature, good books, tasty food, photography, working hard, loving family, getting creative, cultivating beauty, and ultimately, participating in life.

This space began when my kids were little, as a creative outlet for me and a way to connect and share with other moms. Over the years, as the kids have grown, it has become a medley of hands-on crafts, tried-and-true recipes, much-loved booklists, gardening, and even farm adventures, all based on our family’s journey.

This life can be challenging and monotonous, and we all, at times, find ourselves needing inspiration. We need the wind to catch our sails or the sun to break through our cloudy day so we can feel reenergized to try again. I would love Inspire the Mom to be a place of inspiration for you!

Welcome you to our corner of the world, where we are so honored to invite you in and inspire you to cultivate beauty and creativity in your own life.

Thank you for being here!

Jessica
