Hello! Introductions are in order.

I’m Janessa! I’m a lot of things, including a mom, partner, and menno pastor. I tend to post a lot of sweet kiddo anecdotes, faith reflections, and general life commentary. I like to think I’m a bit funny, pleasantly hopeful, and honest.

Nice to meet you!

Yes OF COURSE I sat in the chair with the sweater tonight. You’ll find me here on Friday night as well.

I’m sorry but if I didn’t already love the Bluejays, I’d be fully obsessed with them for the sole reason they have a Captain Kirk.

Me: sports superstitions are ridiculous.

Also me: well, they won both times I wore my 1992 World Series sweater (original owner of that was my dad, it’s the real deal) and at the kitchen table painting so… I’m never watching anywhere else with any other sweater.

Every now and again in parenting, your kids utter a combination of words that make you freeze in panic with “WHAT COULD THIS MEAN?!”

This just happened with the words “Mom I just had a different fart.”

Whenever I visited my grandpa in Peterborough over the years, there would always be a Bluejays game on. He’s been gone for 15 years, but I sure wish he could have seen this one!

I think my three year old should be responsible for show descriptions on Netflix. “Is it Cake?” would be described as “sometimes you cut it and it be’s cake.”
