Momtourage: FOMO or JOMO, Which Is It?
|
Jessie Bennett
Married, mom of 3! Busy and frazzled most days and always driving from one place to another from one side of town to the next... My kids are my inspiration, and while I have my own interests- traveling, reading, tennis, winter sports, coffee, wine, friends, and good food... my kids are the driving force behind all that I do! Murphy is 10, Grace is 9, and Olivia (Lulu) is 7. We have gone on endless adventures over the past 10 years, and I'm not sure who has enjoyed it more, them or me! While we try to teach our kids about life, they teach us what life is all about.
