I made an Asheville sticker, and it feels like the beginning of something.
Jelly Press started in Florida nine years ago, inspired by the springs, state parks, beaches, backroads, and hidden little corners that made the Sunshine State feel like home.
Florida will always be home too. It’s where everything began and where half of our family lives. So plenty more Florida adventures ahead! But I really look forward to sharing our mountain adventures here too.
Life has grown in new directions. We moved to Asheville almost a year ago and I’m learning this mountain town slowly — through (VERY) short trails, little outings, local landmarks, changing seasons, and tiny adventures with my 20-month-old explorer in tow.
Adventure looks different these days. There are more snacks, shorter walks, slower mornings, and a lot more stopping to pick up every leaf and rock (finally out of the putting in our mouth phase!).
But the heart of Jelly Press is still the same: celebrating the places that stay with us.
Now I get to find and establish new nostalgic places for my daughter, introducing her to hidden corners, local adventures, and little everyday spots that may someday become part of her own map of memories.
Here’s to Asheville, to continuing on this messy and beautiful journey we call life, and to finding beauty at toddler pace.
You can shop the Asheville sticker now on my website and Etsy store!
