Welcome

Hello, I’m Jessica and I’m so glad you’re here.

Home Sweet Living was created from a deep love for home and family. Around here, home isn’t about being perfect. It’s about embracing the messy. I’m a wife and mom to four incredible kids. I have a busy, loud and love filled household where life rarely slows down. I’m learning how important it is to create pockets of peace right where we are.

My love for baking and homemaking began long before I became a wife and mother. My childhood was spent going to my grandmothers house on the weekends. She believed in using what you already had, teaching me how to can fruits and vegetables, bake breads from scratch and turn simple pantry ingredients into something special. She showed me that recipes don’t have to be complicated to taste like a five star chef made it. Sometimes all you need is time to slow down and have a simple joy in what you’re creating. Beyond the kitchen, she taught me how to sew quilts, crochet and create with my hands. Instilling in me a deep appreciation for a slower, more intentional way of living. That homemade love shaped me into who I am and it’s the heart behind everything I share here. From comforting recipes that I believe anyone can make, to the every day rhythms of home with 4 children that make everyday life feel chaotic at times but so full.

I started this blog because I wanted to share the things that make our home, us. Simple recipes, routines that work and some that don’t, honest feelings and little random touches that make life feel sweeter. This space is about growth, learning as I go, letting go of perfectionism and choosing hope when life feels heavy. Home Sweet Living is where real life means slowing down, a place to gather and feel less alone.

Whether you’re here for a recipe, a bit of encouragement, or simply a quiet moment in your day, I hope you’ll feel welcome. I hope something here inspires you to make your own home feel a little more like home sweet home.
