Jessica is a mom in my neck of the woods here in SoDak, whom I met shortly after we moved here. It was only fairly recently, however, when I learned about the early days of her motherhood journey and how her life has transformed since. I so appreciate Jessica's willingness to share her story and a laugh or two in this powerful episode of The Motherhood Experience. Looking to save money on quality, bulk foods?
