Featured Blog: Where is my Instruction Manual

Hi there, FTLOB readers!  I'm Jessica, and I blog at where is my instruction manual...  I started blogging just over a year ago for reasons unknown.  I just dove in, and I have loved every minute of the conversation, community, and friendship that blogging has brought my way.
My husband and I have been married for six years, and we have an adorable, spunky, independent toddler who takes up most of our time and attention.
Meet Cara.
On the blog, I share a lot of our successes, failures, joys, and frustrations that come along with raising a toddler.  As a first time mommy, I often feel a little clueless about the "right" way to parent, but I'm learning as I go.  Being a mommy has changed me fundamentally, but I would never go back!
In my spare time, I teach high school English; finding the balance between work and home has been tough for me.  I also like to cook and sew, so I share quite a few of those projects on the blog as well.  I hope you'll come visit me at where is my instruction manual... and join in the conversation, community, and friendship!

Such incredibly beautiful photos!

As Moms, we all fly by the seat of our pants with our first child and any others who follow; it's definitely a learning process, different for everyone! Phooey on any instruction manual, lol. We all become experts at what we do best!

Congrats on being featured!

Wouldn't it be great if they did give you an instruction manual with your child at the hospital? "This is your daughter and these are the instructions for how to raise her."

Your photos are beautiful - children are growing so fast you need to take each day at a time and put down your thoughts, build up memories. Glad to follow your journey!

New Website : come say Hi!

I think the last time we posted we said we were working on some things and left y'all hanging.....sorry! I bet you are all doing well, still blogging and I'm definitely interested in hearing from you. With so many working mama's, from home to side hustles, I decided that I would make coffee addict mama somewhat similar to FTLOB! If you're free to come check it out, comment and say HI! I'd love to pick up from where we left off. XOXO
