Jessica Turner

In today’s episode I talk with Jessica Turner, creator of TheMomCreative.com and author of the brand-new book The Fringe Hours: Making Time For You about how to break through the excuses, guilt and disorganization and make time for the things that matter to you.

What's happening at The Happiest Home?

  Hello, friends! You’ve probably noticed it’s been way quieter than usual around here lately. In case you missed my post about slowing down and focusing on less, but better, content in 2015, I haven’t just forgotten to blog…this sudden snail’s pace was planned. But I have to admit, it’s been a little uncomfortable. I’m […]

#TalkEarly: I'm Not A Cool Mom And That's Fine With Me

This post was written in partnership with Responsibility.org as part of the #TalkEarly intiative. “Is there alcohol in this?” “Oh god, no, honey, what kind of a mother do you think I am….why, do you want a little bit?

Surrender To The Snow Day

A particularly timely post from our archives. Enjoy! This was my reaction to learning recently that the school district had called off school – again – due to inclement weather. Indeed, it felt that way. My children have only had one full week of school since early January. I think, anyway. To be honest, it’s all starting […]

"Fun Parent" vs. "Boring Parent" - It's Not Fair! But Is It True?

My husband made this lunch for my daughter last week. I know. I should have known it was coming when I caught him poring over Bento box tutorials on YouTube, watching a woman meticulously arrange smiley faces onto tiny rice-ball heads, then cap them off with pita-pocket hats. The very next day, Jon made a special trip to the […]

Life As A Wild Experiment

Life As A Wild Experiment

This post is by Heather Caliri.  I’m always amazed when I watch my daughter sew. She’s had almost no instruction. Doesn’t like the sewing books I got for her and her sister—she prefers to wing it. And so she comes up with her own projects out of thin air—a vest, a bracelet, a sleeping bag […]
