I am a pretty low maintenance gal. I live in leggings and prefer my hair either down and straight or in a pony. As a SAHM of two, here are my favourite getting ready items.

It is me, I am this list! I am both a SAHM and suuuuuuch a homebody. Don't get me wrong I love a good outting or trip - but nothing beats home. This is my curated list of gifts I have received or would LOVE!

My partner is the epitome of “I don’t need anything”. It makes you just want to yell YOU’RE IMPOSSIBLE! I know you want things, why can’t you just admit it right?! Here are some of the things I’ve bought as gifts that have been huge wins!

I am admittedly a SUCKER for fun and different items when it comes to my kids bedrooms. I value creating my kids comfortable and happy spaces that they can call their own. PLUS it's like really fun to find neat, cute, and practical things that add character to a room.

I fell in love with Cricut when I started my little side hustle - Jess Creating Purpose. I love to make anything and everything with positive, uplifting messages to make others feel good. Admittedly I still have SO much to learn, the things you can do really are endless. Here are the items I couldn’t live without when getting creative! **For vinyl purposes I won't be linking too many because truth me told there are SO many options out there for purchasing vinyl and the Cricut brand is not always the most cost effective.**

It's no secret that Mental Health is SO important to me. Coming back from a break down myself, I see so much value in sharing my story and anything that has helped me along the way. It doesn't have to be complicated either, sometimes a soft blanket makes all the difference.

Truth be told I have never been a huge reader. But when I do read I really enjoy reading something real, raw, and/or meaningful. that is how I came to love biographies/autobiographies. Maybe its the blogger in me but I value reading someones real thoughts and vulnerable moments. It is nice to be able to relate you know? These are some of my most favourite reads. Every book listed I have read front to back! They are all different and have impact in their own way.

It would mean the world for you to subscribe! First and foremost I am lucky enough to be called mama by my two beautiful kids (Lakelynn, 6 and Beckett, 4. In late 2022 I found myself divorced, dealing with losing my relationship with my dad, overwhelmed, and entered a complete mental breakdown. I walked away from a ten year career in order to take care of myself and my kids. You don’t know how hard it is to pull yourself out of a dark place, until your there and you have no choice but to do just that. After a lot of hard self healing, therapy, and medication - I did find my light at the end of the tunnel and that is where Jess Creating Purpose was born and in 2024 I launched my blog. I knew I had something much bigger than sitting in someone else’s office to do in this life, and my passion to mental health awareness took flight. If I can make one person a day feel a little less alone, I consider the job done. You are enough. You matter. You are amazing just the way you are.

As a mom I know how hard it can be to feel overwhelmed by the needs of your children. Here are some of my favourites for high sensory kiddos.

Oily skin and blackheads have been my nemesis forever. Admittedly skincare has not always been a priority of mine, and I am a pretty low maintenance gal. Since entering my 30's though I have had to take it more seriously. After lots of trial and error the products on this list have helped my skin immensly.

My son is 4 and he is OBSESSED with everything you can think of Marvel/Avengers. Sometimes I feel like I live right inside the Marvel universe when I look around the house. These are some of the things my little guy has collected over the last couple years! I kid you not anytime I ask him “what do you want for….” his answer is without fail “superheros”.

I am a divorced SAHM of two. I needed my own tools and truth be told I bought my first impact drill based on the colour. I fell in love with the lime green! From that point onward I have been a faithful RYOBI tool user, and dare I say it has almost turned into a fun collection HA. I do not claim to be a took guru, I am quite the opposite. This is just a hobby collection of mine for my DIY and little house projects!

I have lost count of the number of Mixbook photo albums I have personally made over the years! Currently I make a photo book every single year for each of my kiddos - eventually they will have 18 books, one for each year of their lives where I’ve captured every photo taken in one meaningful place. The website and/or app is SO user friendly, and there is always a discount code to be had available right on the website.
