Hello world!

---

Welcome to Momming & Beyond!

—the place where we tackle life as modern moms, educators, and all-around multitaskers. I’m Jessica, but you can call me Keeka. I’m a proud millennial mom of two teen boys, an early childhood educator with 20 years of experience, and a woman who’s just trying to balance it all—while keeping it fun and real. 🌟

This blog isn’t just about parenting (though I’ll definitely talk about that), it’s about everything that comes with being a woman with dreams, goals, and a whole lot of hustle. From finding time for self-care amidst the chaos to navigating the ups and downs of motherhood, mental health, and personal growth—I’m here to share it all with you.

You see, I’m more than just a mom. I’m an educator who’s passionate about helping little ones grow, a woman learning how to put her own dreams into action, and mom juggling the highs and lows of modern life. I’m here to show that it’s possible to be a great mom and live your best life.

In this space, you’ll find:

• Real talks on parenting: From how to survive the tween years (don’t worry, we’ll get through it) to what life’s really like as a mom of teens.
• Life lessons & growth: Let’s navigate the challenges of mental health, self-care, and chasing our dreams together.
• Work-life balance: Tips and hacks for managing a busy life without losing yourself in the process.
• Fun, silly moments: Because who said mom life has to be serious all the time?

I’m here to keep it light, relatable, and empowering—because let’s be real, we all need a little fun in our lives. I’m all about supporting moms and educators, and reminding you that YOU are important, too.

So, whether you’re here for the laughs, the advice, or just a bit of support, I’m glad you stopped by. Let’s be honest: we’re all in this together.

Stay tuned for more content coming soon, and feel free to subscribe for weekly updates (I promise to keep it fun and inspiring).

Here’s to Momming & Beyond—let’s thrive, not just survive
