But I think I’m ready to graduate to more edible plants. 🪴🌧 I hate *having* to work from home but AP Art History requires a bit more attention than I can squeeze into the workday this year. 🏺👩🏻‍🏫 And lastly, Saturday we walked to the local high school (where I work) to watch a cross country meet. William was trying to join in on the running. 🏃‍♀️🦁 🐏🐕 We cheered on three different schools (IPhone doesn’t have a husky emoji so I used a dog but they have a 🦤 emoji???) #family #highschoolteacher #autumnvibes #14monthsold #aparthistory #patiogardening #jisforjourney

Hello! My name is Jessica & I am the content creator of J is for Journey; I started this blog way back in the fall of 2013 when I left to teach English Italy. And here I am, many years later, still blogging about travel, art history and religion – my three great passions in life. Now, with the birth of our son, I have added a fourth passion: motherhood. I hope you enjoy the journey!
