Yup, this is me. The one behind all the sarcasm and foul language. My name’s Jessie and I’m the author here at Wine after nine. I’ve always had a passion for writing. I’m a full time work from home mama. It’s awesome to be able to work from home full time and be here with my kids at the same time. I’ve been blogging for about 6 years. It’s kept me sane in my anxiety filled, dramatic life. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and depression and blogging has really helped me cope with it, along with my other random hobbies I’ve picked up. One of my goals is to become a mental health advocate. I want to help others find their voice so that they don’t have to suffer in silence. I know how hard it is to not speak up about what is going in your mind. It’s isolating. I am here for anyone who needs to talk. Sometimes talking to someone you don’t know can be very beneficial.

My Gang

This is my very bubbly, stubborn six year old girl. She is definitely a mini spawn of me, attitude and all. She challenges me more than any other human being I’ve ever met. She’s made me a stronger person because of it though. She is a very vocal 6 year old and will tell you when something isn’t right and she won’t tolerate anyone bullying her either. She is finally at an age where she can be my little minion and do simple tasks for me. She is my toilet paper fetcher. She’s the best little person in my life and I probably wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have her. I use to think that my life didn’t have meaning, but when she entered this world, my life had more meaning than I could of ever imagined. She is one of the most kind hearted little girls I’ve ever met. She is crazy outgoing and will try pretty much anything. She is an outside kind girl and loves dirt but also loves glitter.

This is my happy one year old, but he’s almost the size of a two year old. He was almost 10lbs when I gave birth to him. The epidural did not work all the way so I felt most of it. He grows like a weed. He has such a personality already. He is loud, funny, playful and just all around a goofy baby. He is OBSESSED with the movies, Trolls 2, Frozen 2 and Beauty and the beast. He dances to the music of all those movies. He is generally a happy baby and is usually always laughing and smiling. He is a mama’s boy but loves to say “Dada” the most. He get super excited over the funniest things, like giving his an empty cup.

This man is my person, my partner and my soulmate. He came into my life when I needed him most and has stuck around since and even loved me enough to have a baby with me. I would be totally lost without him in life. He’s literally the best man that I’ve ever known and I am so beyond lucky that I get to go through life with him by my side knowing he has my back through anything. I love this man more than any words could ever describe. We have been together for two years but it feels like forever. I wouldn’t want to spend my life with anyone else but him. Honestly… he is the only one who can handle me.
