Hi my name is Jessica Hornbeck
- I’m fairly new to the blogging world and won’t claim to be some expert I’m not. I’m just me and will keep it real with you.
- A little bit about me. I am a single mom of 2 boys. I did manage to work my way through nursing school while raising 2 children on my own. It wasnt easy but I managed.I am a Licensed Practical Nurse. I have said for years that I was going to go back for my RN, but I never did. I do wish that I had gone straight for my RN.
- Even on a nursing salary, I have always struggled financially. (Nurses don’t make as much as you think they do. Especially LPN’s). But I have learned to manage over the years and would like to share my experiences with everyone. I will let you know what has and hasn’t worked for me. I will not say I am debt free because I am not, yet. But I am getting closer.
- Why did I decide to start a blog? Because for years I was that mom that couldn’t afford to buy food or pay my bills. We have ate Ramen noodles or hot dogs and macaroni on several nights. If my experiences could help someone get through those tough times, then I would be Happy to help.
- I’m also someone who has struggled with some mental health issues. I have depression. I have spent several days just laying around. I have learned to manage it better, and would like to help others manage theirs. I’m still not a happy go lucky person, in fact those people kind of irritate me lol.
- When I was younger, I used to love writing poetry and short stories. But after I became a mom, I quit doing it. I am hoping that writing a blog will get me back to my roots and do something I enjoyed: Writing.
- My goals. Yes I enjoy writing. Yes I want to help others. But I also have a goal to make some money with my blog. I know it will take time. I will not claim to be debt free because I am not. I am currently working towards that goal and hoping this blog will help with that. I will not claim to be making thousands of dollars from my blog because I am not. I am just beginning. But I hope that someday I will be making lots of money from doing something that I enjoy: writing.
In addition to the above information, I would like to share some fun facts about me! First of all, I am a nerd. I love Harry Potter and all things Disney. (see my Harry Potter shirt in my picture?) My favorite TV shows are The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, Once Upon a Time, and Game of Thrones. One of my major goals in life is to go to Disney World and Universal Studios to see Hogwarts! I have never been to either, due to financial reasons. But I am hoping that I will be able to go soon.
oh, one more thing . I love all things purple! 💜
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me! and I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy writing it!
