Hey Friend, I'm
Jessica Rice
I
whole-heartedly believe in 4 hour dinners, planning parties so epic people talk about them for years. Going way over the top on gifts, dancing all of my stress away and raising our kids to live out love and kindness that can change the world.
A Southern Girl living in San Diego’s Endless Summer! I left dental career path to travel the world with just a camera in hand and spent a year capturing the world’s greatest beauty. I’m a deep believer in waking up at 5 am to own my day, rocking every jumpsuit, losing track of time dining with friends and drinking tea until it fills my veins. I traveled the world in search of life’s greatest adventure and found it in my arms as I held my children. I’m here for you. Here for your adventure and here to share everything I’ve learned along the way.

I didn’t grow up with a garden in my back yard and thriving plants in my room. In fact I grew up thinking food grew in plastic packages and that green boxed chocolate cookies were a health food item.

“Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your […]

We met Jesse and Tyler on a “blind date” of sorts. After 2 years of training a dog for Canine Companions, Nick’s grandparents got the news that he had flunked out of his final training program. During that time they had been introduced to an amazing couple with a 1 year old baby who suffered from […]

The day couldn’t have been any more beautiful. Paradise Falls was glowing in the afternoon light, and their lush tropical gardens truly made it feel like paradise. Much like Alabama, where they met at school, the “winter” weather of Southern California made a perfect day for a wedding.

I didn’t realize how deeply failure is wrapped in fear until last week. On our drive out to the desert Nick asked me to listen to an audio book called Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. The specific chapter he thought related to me was about 2 philosophies of thought. He believed that […]
