• Feeling a bit overwhelmed at this time of year? Feeling the pressure of keeping everyone happy, struggling to get through that to do list and trying your best not to overspend? Well I’m here to say...You do you Boo!! We’re not doing Christmas eve boxes, or elf on shelf, or a home made advent calendar this year and Arlo will only get a couple presents. We are not really big on presents. We are more about experiences like the one above, where this year we got to take Arlo to Bali! You only remember the memories and not the presents at the end of the day. Quality time with people you love is what Christmas is all about! So I’m reminding you it’s ok to be imperfect and not do it all 🙌

  • Decided to go lighter for Summer and see if blondes really do have more fun 😝👩🏼 Did you manage your catch my dramatic hair transformation on my stories?! If not I’ve saved it as a highlight so you can see the wonderful @melstevenson8 work her magic on me! ✨

  • Last night as I gently rocked Arlo to sleep, I felt his little hand rest on my chest and his body calm down and sink into me. I rubbed his back and held him tight before tucking him in for the night. Jakey then brushed the hair off my face and gave me a kiss before wrapping his arms around me as I drifted off to sleep. I thought to myself...I’m so dam lucky!

  • @martinboroughmanor1 is a must do for families in the Wairarapa. It’s a working farm and orchard ideally located on the outskirts of Martinborough wine village and makes the perfect stop over if your checking out some of the wineries. All their animals are very tame and love to eat right from your hand! Arlo made the cutest cluck, cluck sound every time he spotted a new animal! 🐷🐥🐑🦃🐮 See more over on www.jessieandjake.com

  • Have you checked out our latest blog post all about family friendly wineries in Martinborough? @moyhallwines made it onto our list because they have loads of kids toys for the little ones and plenty of grass for kids to run around on.

  • Three things you won’t know about the Carlsons. 1. On the day we meet we were actually set up!! I had no idea and thought I had meet Jake on my own accord. Little did I know, a mutual friend had texted Jake and said “Put a shirt on and get to town! I’ve just met the girl of your dreams” 💛 2. We worked together in a bar in Ireland! Jake was one of the managers and said he would never work with me again because I never listened to him 🤣 3. The first thing I thought when I saw him was “This guy is gonna be my best friend.” Oh boy, was I right! 😏
