Hi – I’m Jaclyn.
I am the luckiest wife to my handsome fireman husband and a mom to a sweet baby boy. I love being outside in the fresh air, coffee, a good book, health & fitness, and spending time at my family’s sweet little cottage in Cape Cod. I started Always My Sunshine years ago when I studied abroad in college, and it evolved into a platform that I just loved to share my life on. After a long break, I finally listened to the little pull on my heart to start writing again.
This pull also came around the same time that I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and I began a complete overhaul of my entire life (you can start here to read about my journey). I began focusing on nourishing my body with balanced and whole foods, prioritizing sleep & movement & time outside, and slowing way down. I watched the effects that these changes had on my family and my role as a mother in particular – and I was amazed.
I hope to use this space to inspire and educate other young women (especially new moms) on how to slow down and be more intentional in the way that you live. Slowing down and tackling life in a way that allows your children to thrive and for you to actually enjoy these fleeting days – rather than to just survive them. Being exhausted, run down, and feeling terrible all the time is not the way that God intended for us to live this life. Take a breath and know that there is a better way.
I’m so glad you’re here.
xo,
Jaclyn
