The way I want to do this is have my readers leave questions in the comments on this post. I will pick one question to answer once a week. Does this sound like a good system? In my head I am thinking it does. You, my readers, can ask me anything. I am an open book when it comes to many subjects. I will paste my about me section below on this post so that you all can have an idea of what to ask me. I want my readers to get to know me more.
My name is Jessica. I am married to Rob. We have been married since June 27, 2009. We are parents to four handsome boys and one beautiful baby girl.
Logan is our 7 year old and he just finished first grade. He will be in the second grade this coming school year. He loves learning and idoing very well in school. I love listening to him sound words out as he reads new words and familiar wmords. He loves Legos, Spiderman, Lego Ninjago, Pokemon, and Digimon. He enjoys playing educational games on the computer as well as watching kid videos on YouTube. He keeps us moving and grooving every day with his sweet side and his tough side.
Landon is our 5 year old who battled RSV/pneumonia/flu at a month old. He is our fighter and our fearless one. He also knows how charm anyone he meets. He will be in Kindergarten this fall. He loves to play with cars, blocks, and trains. He is into Cars, Star Wars, and everything that Logan likes as well.
Liam is 4 years old and he is our calm and chill little guy. He loves food and loves to do what his older brothers do. He is starting to get his own likes such as Daniel Tiger, Super Why, Curious George, and any of the shows with learning songs on Netflix. He is starting to talk more than he did a year ago and is learning new things every day. He is currently finishing his first year of preschool and will have two more years of preschool before going to Kindergarten.
Lucas is our 2 year old. He loves following his brothers. He also loves being a big brother to his baby sister. He is in speech therapy and is learning new words everyday. He loves Moana and SING. He has to watch both movies at least once a day. He keeps us busy because he loves to explore and play with everything except his toys. He is super sweet when he isn't being rotten.
Leliana is our only girl and she just turned one. She was born on May 20, 2017. She spent 17 days in the NICU between two hospitals. She may be a girl, but we think she will be just as tough as her 4 big brothers. She is in physical therapy because between her early birth and time in the NICU she isn't where she should be with her gross motor development. She just started crawling at 14 months and is beginning to cruise along furniture. She will be walking soon!
My amazing and sweet husband, Rob, has a degree in high school history and recently got a teaching job! He is so excited to start his career in teaching.
I have been blogging since 2011, which is also when I graduated college with a degree in psychology and child development. I have been actively blogging since 2013. I have a degree, but I enjoy being stay at home mom. I also have always had a love for photography and hope to incorporate that into my future blog posts. I am still practicing my craft in hopes of turning it into a business. I am mainly a stay at home mom and wife that needs to blog about being a mother to four boys and a baby girl and a wife to a handsome husband all while following God, serving Him, and having a lot of faith, hope, and love.

Now that you have read a little bit about me, this where I leave you all to ask me questions. Like I said above, I will answer one question a week. I appreciate my readers wanting to get to know me better and for helping me start this new area on my blog! I am excited to read the questions you all have and answer them! If you want to read the answers to the questions that are asked, I would recommended subscribing to/following my blog.
RSV was such a scary thing to think about and talk about during my pregnancy! Thank you for this post and for sharing your experience.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this post, Jessica! Your family is so precious! I have always wanted a big family (it's just my sister and I and my husband is an only child). We have two kids, but would LOVE to have more. You are definitely busy non-stop - what do you do for yourself so that you can recharge!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite holiday?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a wonderful family and you are all so happy together! My question for you would be how do you travel together with your family?
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you might have gone through when your girl was 17 days in the NICU. Wow. Thats somethings. Had similar issues with my son too!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely family! I always wanted to large family but it was not to be! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I would love to see and read more of your adventures as a family.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have shared details about each kid in the family. I'd like to know who is the biggest prankster of them all and how do you manage 5 kids and not get mad?
ReplyDeleteIt was great to learn more about you! What's the biggest change for you in having a girl after having multiple boys?
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family. I grew up in a large household and my siblings and I are close. My younger brother was the prankster in the family. Do your children ever help you with your blog?
ReplyDeleteI think that answering your reader's questions is a great way to keep them engaged and interested. We have two boys and would like to have a little girl. How are your boys with their little sister? One of my biggest fears of course is having another boy instead, which either way we will love just as much.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to get to know you better. Congrats to your husband. High school is fun to teach!
