Hey there! Welcome to this little space of the internet. If you’ve stumbled upon this blog, it’s because you’ve known/followed me for some time, or because someone suckered you into checking it out. Either way, thanks for being here!
My family and I live just outside of Denver, Colorado. If you’ve never been here, consider making a trip. I’m constantly amazed by how beautiful this state is, and how nice the people are. Plus, we’re about to get an In N Out, so I’m not really sure what else a person needs.
I’m MJ. I love yellow. I’m a topknot enthusiast, confidence booster, and proud member of Bachelor Nation. I love to doodle, play board games, and put together pretty outfits. I have an MBA, a serious love for coffee, and an impossible time finding anything in my house. I love Jesus but I cuss a little.
My husband Jason and I have three kids, and at one point they were all under 2…like at the same time. He and I spend a lot of time looking at each other, shrugging our shoulders, and trying to figure out how to navigate this parenting thing. We ask ourselves: how are we supposed to stay sane? How much coffee is too much coffee? Will they ever stop asking for snacks? Is it Tito’s time yet? Because we are insane, we also own a clothing boutique and run it together from home. I get asked a lot of if we still like each other; the answer is yes.
I know God chose Jason just for me. It’s not that we don’t ever argue or disagree, it’s just that we navigate through life together well regardless. And I’m not sure there’s another woman on Earth that could tolerate his dance moves + random bursts of energy at times that make literally zero sense. I won’t get all mushy on you, but he’s my favorite.
Over the past few years, we have been through a lot. Having twins, loss of employment, financial hardship, almost losing my mom, another baby much sooner than we anticipated, more job uncertainty, more financial hardship, starting + owning a business, and now navigating really weird and unprecedented times with two five year old boys and a three year old girl who thinks she’s 17.
I write all this because I know we’re not alone. I know there are families all over the world whose story looks like ours. And I just want to create a space to remind you that we’re all in this together. If the world needs anything right now, it’s solidarity. So welcome to this space; I’m glad you’re here.
