Who’s Behind the Blog?

Hi! My name is Jessica and myself along with my wonderful husband and our two daughters make up Our Adventures in Parenthood blog. We are a little family from a small town in West Virginia who love to spend quality time together and go on lots of adventures!

When my husband and I got married we decided to make travel a priority and we planned vacations as often as we could fit into our busy schedules. Once we decided to start a family, we decided that it was just as important for our children to see the world too! Now our whole family loves to travel and experience new things and we all look forward to whichever trip is next on our itinerary.

A few years ago, I left my job as a Certified Medical Coder and decided to be a stay-at-home mom. Now, I know that it isn’t for everyone, but it was the best decision that we could ever make for our family. We have so much more quality time together and I am so happy to be able to be with our girls full-time.

Another decision that we felt best for our family, was to homeschool our kids. Our oldest daughter just completed kindergarten at home, and we are coming up on her first-grade year quickly. Both she and I have learned so much this past year and we both have grown as individuals as well as closer together through this experience.

Finally, as we document our family’s journey on Our Adventures in Parenthood blog, our hope is to encourage others by making vacation planning easier with helpful tips and tricks from places we have been and products that make our life easier, sharing our favorite recipes that the whole family enjoys, and by sharing fun kid’s activities with you that can be used to enhance your homeschool journey or just for creative ideas to do with your kids!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our blog and for joining us as we navigate this journey of parenthood alongside each other as we go on awesome adventures with our kids!
