Jessie Reed

Exhausted mother, lawyer, and writer, learning to lower my expectations one day at a time.

If you want nice things, don't have kids.

You're welcome.

People are really bullying Ali Hazelwood over her opinion on Hunger Games characters?

Please go outside. Touch grass. Pet a dog. Get a grip.

Them: I hate this book. Smoldering MMC's who lean in doorways and smirk are annoying cliches.

Me: Uh, er, yeah. So what book are you reading again?

I love when a morally gray rake falls hard for a tough wallflower heroine. #romancebooks #romancereader #romancewriter

[Jessie Reed @makeitworkmama]

@book_favour Yes.

A 40-year-old lawyer who doesn’t do feelings. A 26-year-old actor who never met a boundary he didn’t try to cross. In a city that never sleeps, can friends-with-benefits stay just friends?

Anything But Scripted is my current WIP.

Every time I read an enemies-to-lovers office romance.

After sitting on my mature heroine/younger hero, opposites attract romance novel for way too long, I've finally entered the querying trenches. #amquerying #writingcommunity

@mlduncan7 I also do this with entire paragraphs. 😆

[Jessie Reed @makeitworkmama]

Started writing fiction in my free time, and I'm so excited that I finished a book!

[Jessie Reed @makeitworkmama]

I read about the pregnancy "glow." At 30 weeks pregnant with my 4th kid, if pregnancy glow looks like irrational anger, frustration, and disappointment, then I am so pregnancy glowing.

My daughter‘s yelling that there’s a scary witch in her room, but I’ve been in here the entire time and haven’t seen anything. Weird.

[Jessie Reed @makeitworkmama]

It's the little things in life that make me thankful...Like during our roadtrip, 3 held in his vomit until he got to a Taco Bell bathroom instead of puking all over the backseat and his sisters.

[Robert Knop @FatherWithTwins]

My wife and I have a perfectly happy marriage as long as we fold each other’s clothes exactly the way the other likes them

[Mommy Owl @Mommy__Owl]

I officially graduated from mom with young kids to mom with youngish kids and now everything will get so much easi–

Never mind.

[Jessie Reed @makeitworkmama]

My 3yo just called my 14mo a dumpster fire, so there's that.

"Yes, Susan, we are decorating for Valentine's Day again this year by not taking down our Christmas decorations yet."

~Me making excuses to my neighbors for why my Christmas decorations are still up in February.

[Diana Rowland @dianarowland]

Our dragon holiday display got fan mail! (And apparently the "true meaning of Christmas" involves judgmental bullshit?) 😂

[Ohio mom of two 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #BLM @OhioMomoftwo]

What do I want for Christmas? I just want to EAT MY OWN DINNER without having to get up and get anything, feed anyone, make any more food, or listen to anyone cry.

Studies confirm that when a mother has been left alone with her children all day her husband is placed into the friend zone.
