Who Is The Florida Mom?

Jessi
Jessi

Born and raised in Central Florida, this mom of two is happiest when her toes are in the sand or her hands are gripping a roller coaster bar. When she's not chasing after her kids at the theme parks or exploring hidden gems around the Sunshine State, you can find her sipping a margarita on the boat or planning their next family adventure.

Nami is testing out some "indestructible" dog toys Nami is testing out some "indestructible" dog toys to see if we can actually find something that she can't destroy in less than 24 hours 🤣 We have tried SO many and had very low success. She's a super high energy, destructive when bored Catahoula. She loves dog toys, but they don't last long in our house! So far I think we've found one or two that have survived the Catahoula test. If you have an aggressive chewer, what is your go to dog toy? #catahoula #catahouligan #catahoulaleoparddog #indestructibledogtoys #agressivechewer #dogtoy #rescuedog
Another personal best time for the girl child this Another personal best time for the girl child this morning! She did 18:53 at her last Cross Country meet of the year and I couldn't be more proud of how far she's come! From the kid who hates running to the one who wants to run multiple races in one day (she's doing a 5k tonight just for fun🤣☠️). So excited to see her keep growing and getting faster and stronger 💪 Now with XC season being over, she will focus completely on swimming, so never a real break 🤣 #runlikeagirl #floridacrosscountry #crosscountryrunning #middleschool #raisingathletes #girlswhorun #stronggirls

Welp, I wasn't surprised that the girl needs a lit Welp, I wasn't surprised that the girl needs a little physical therapy. With all the sports and her history of hip dysplasia, I knew I had to take her in at the first complaint of pain. Her Aunt and the PT team are going to get her right and strong and loosen up those hip area muscles though!
#ad Swim Mom Hack: Say goodbye to the volunteer si #ad Swim Mom Hack: Say goodbye to the volunteer sign-up struggle! @evite SignUp Sheets is my new go-to for organizing everything from snack donations to timing shifts. It's completely free, super easy to set up, and parents can sign up right from their phones! No more endless email chains or chasing people down for replies, and the best part? Evite sends automatic reminders so no one forgets! This has seriously been a game-changer for me, juggling all of my daughter's swim meets and school activities. Now I can actually enjoy the meets instead of stressing about logistics. Check out the link in my bio to see how easy it is to get organized and stress-free. #Evite #SignUpSheets #momhack #swimmom #backtoschool
