Behind the BlogWelcome to Babies, Board Rooms and Ball Games!
I'm Jessica Wilkins - the woman, mom and coach's wife behind this blog. I hope my honesty and real life experiences as a working mom and coach's wife will encourage other women who are searching for a way to balance being a working mom and wife. It's not easy and it may not always be pretty, but I truly believe we can "have it all."

Football & Family
My journey to becoming a coach's wife began when I started dating my husband, Randy in February 2009. At the time, I was working as a news producer for a CBS affiliate and he was the defensive line coach at my Alma Mater. We lived almost two hours apart, but still managed to make our relationship work. Now that I look back on it, it truly is a miracle that we were able to stay together. If you know anyone in the news business or anyone that coaches for a living, you know that both of these jobs require a great deal of sacrifice for everyone involved. I guess you could say "I dated the game" for four years before "marrying football." After those four years, I knew what I was getting into and ready to take on the challenge. I married my husband June 29, 2013. Almost exactly three years later, June 28, 2016, our first son, Christian was born. As you can see, all major life events happen in June. Yes, I know it's crazy, but in our family, we try to plan everything around football season. I guess we are lucky it's worked out that way so far!
