family

by Jessica E. Thomas|02 May 201601 June 2018|Journal

It's been a busy spring at the Thomas residence. This past week was particularly...interesting? I came down with a cold last Sunday and missed a total of 8 hours of work between Monday and Tuesday. As soon as my fever...

Garden Party

by Jessica E. Thomas|11 April 201603 July 2018|Journal

It's more like February outside, with the snow, sleet, and whatever other frozen thing Mother Nature can concoct, but at my house, we're still holding out hope that spring will arrive soon. As such, we are preparing for our garden....

Guitar Tunes and Gnocchi

by Jessica E. Thomas|04 April 201603 July 2018|Recipes

It's Sunday at the Thomas residence, so what else is there to do but strum out-of-tune guitars and make gnocchi? (See vlog below for full explanation.) The Recipe I've never made gnocchi before, and I wanted to start with a...

WANTED: The Christmas Spirit

by Jessica E. Thomas|03 December 201503 July 2018|Journal

The Christmas Spirit is an elusive specter in the Thomas house. For me, at least. My children possess it in copious amounts, or shall I say, it has possessed them and they are bubbling over with excitement as a result....

The Confusion of Motherhood

To help me transition back to work after baby #3 (who is now eight weeks old) my workplace has graciously allowed me to telework for a month. I started teleworking today. My brain is mush. I won't say having three...

Babies, MTHFR, V Leiden…Oh My!!

by Jessica E. Thomas|06 October 201405 September 2020|Journal

Baby Blues (errr…Pinks)

by Jessica E. Thomas|11 September 201405 September 2020|Journal

In July, I mentioned I had some “stuff” going on. Mostly good stuff, but I wasn’t prepared to announce it. I’m not sure I’m ready to announce it now, but my husband and I have already told our family, and...

Six Years and Still Surviving

by Jessica E. Thomas|04 October 201304 October 2013|Journal

I'm at home sick, and the children are both at school. Did you hear that? I'll repeat. I'm at home, sick, and the children are both at school! It's been six years, no joke, since I could take a sick...

For My Mom

by Jessica E. Thomas|13 May 201213 May 2012|Journal

I grew up in a family with Christian values, but it wasn't a Christian evangelical home. There was no church on Sundays, no mid-week Bible studies, no apparent impetus to go out and spread the gospel. Unlike kids who grow...
