About Jami

Welcome! My goal for this site is to be able to create a place where you can feel encouraged, comforted and not alone. However, before I can even begin to tackle that, let me tell you a bit about myself. . .

I am married to my best friend and am passionate about having a strong marriage that sets an example for my children.
I homeschool my 3 children ( ages 6, 4 and 6 months) It may seem silly to say I homeschool a 6 month old, but let me tell you he makes him self very apparent throughout our daily routine! 🙂
Jesus Christ has changed my life, leaning on Him has gotten me through some extremely difficult times in my life and I wish everyone knew His grace and love
I think tattoos and the stories behind them are completely intriguing
I love just about any type of fresh flower, having them in my home just brings me joy!
Running is a big part of my life, not because I’m fantastic at it, but because it has helped me unwind when I need it (which happens to be pretty often!) and has brought me into some pretty cool opportunities
I think if you have served our country for even a single day you deserve to hear thank you an infinite number of times, if you have and you are reading this I appreciate you more than you know…
One of my favorite fall activities is watching NIU or Pittsburg Steelers football. I fell in love with Pittsburg when I traveled there as a child and instantly decided I was a Steelers fan 🙂
I am most at peace when I’m in nature; lakes, beaches, hiking trail in the woods, setting up deer stands with my hubby, walking through fields that have just been combined with my children…pure heaven
Anxiety is my middle name, not because I chose it, it absolutely chose me! Learning how to cope with this during stressful times has been one of my greatest challenges and accomplishments.
When myself or my children aren’t feeling well our first stop is the chiropractor, not medical doctor
I love my dogs more than people sometimes, the loyalty amazes me
I have a box of letters my husband wrote to me while he was in basic training and overseas and I treasure it more than anything
Getting my hair done is one of my favorite things to do, especially if it involves coffee, what girls doesn’t like to leave a place looking better than when she walked in?!
I heart coffee
Encouraging others gives me purpose in life and I’m thankful for that opportunity anytime I get it
I have a gluten intolerance and since figuring that out I have grown to love cooking and educating myself about how food affects the body
I was obsessed with Audrey Hepburn as a teenager, I mean OBSESSED!
The only movies I enjoy watching are comedies or documentaries, I feel the real world has enough violence going on that I don’t need to add more to my life, plus I love to laugh!

Yep, that’s a lot of info but hey I have a lot going on! Plus, my 6 month old is sleeping in my arms right now so I had a bit more time than expected 🙂
