Diapers and Diplomas: ​My Story of Motherhood, Milestones and Making It Work

Diapers and Diplomas: My Story of Motherhood, Milestones and Making it Work (SIGNED COPY)

$16.99

Raising toddlers and college kids at the same time wasn’t part of the plan — but neither were most of life’s greatest blessings.


In Diapers and Diplomas, Jessica Schoettle invites readers into the beautiful, messy, and deeply human journey of parenting across decades — from the sleepless nights of early motherhood to the bittersweet pride of watching her oldest children step into adulthood. But beneath the laughter, milestones, and chaos, this story carries the quiet ache of heartbreak, resilience, and unconditional love.


Through her honest storytelling, Jessica opens up about the realities of foster care, the children who left footprints on her heart but couldn’t stay forever, and the ache of loving and letting go. She also shares the deeply personal path of IVF — the waiting, the hope, the disappointment, and the miracle that followed. These experiences intertwine with her daily life as a mother, teacher, and business owner, revealing the many ways love stretches, breaks, and rebuilds us.


Told with humor, faith, and grace, Diapers and Diplomas captures the duality of a life lived in two worlds at once — diapers and diplomas, heartbreak and healing, exhaustion and joy. Jessica writes as a woman who has lived through it all: chasing toddlers while attending college graduations, comforting foster children while comforting her own heart, and learning that motherhood is not one chapter, but an ever-evolving story of strength, surrender, and grace.


Diapers and Diplomas is more than a memoir — it’s a reminder that the beauty of motherhood often lives right alongside the pain. Whether through birth, foster care, or IVF, love finds its way in, sometimes when we least expect it. And through every season — from sleepless nights to tearful goodbyes — it teaches us that the greatest lessons are often born from the messiest moments.


Heartfelt, honest, and deeply relatable, Diapers and Diplomas will make you laugh, cry, and nod along as Jessica reminds us that there is no single path to motherhood — only the one paved with courage, faith, and an unbreakable kind of love.

Diapers and Diplomas is a heartfelt, humorous memoir that celebrates the chaos, love, and lessons of raising kids across generations. With honesty and wit, Jessica Schoettle shares what it’s like to balance bedtime stories with graduation parties — and diapers with diplomas — reminding parents that there’s no perfect way to raise a family, only perfectly imperfect love.
From sleepless nights to proud milestones, this book captures the beauty in every season of parenthood. It’s for every mom, dad, or caregiver learning to laugh through the chaos, cherish the moments, and find meaning in the beautiful mess of family life.

Raising Kind Humans in a Chaotic World: How to Nurture Empathy, Gratitude, and Grace When the World Feels Upside Down (SIGNED COPY)

$16.99

In a time when the world feels increasingly loud, divided, and uncertain, parents are asking one essential question: How do I raise a good human?


Raising Kind Humans in a Chaotic World is both a heartfelt guide and a gentle companion for parents striving to raise children who lead with empathy, courage, and compassion. Drawing from her own experiences as a mother of four and a longtime educator and childcare owner, Jessica Schoettle invites readers to step back from the noise and rediscover what truly matters in raising the next generation.


Through a blend of personal stories, practical insights, and honest reflection, Jessica explores how parents can teach kindness not just with words — but through everyday actions, hard conversations, and the way we respond to the world around us. From nurturing empathy in toddlers to guiding teens through loss, fear, and social pressures, each chapter offers both wisdom and encouragement for the messy, meaningful journey of parenting.


Jessica writes with the tenderness of a mother and the steadiness of a teacher who has walked beside countless families. She reminds us that the goal isn’t perfection — it’s presence. It’s choosing connection over correction, understanding over reaction, and grace over judgment.


In these pages, you’ll find guidance for:

• Teaching children empathy in a culture that celebrates comparison

• Modeling respect in a divided society

• Navigating tough topics — from school shootings to grief and social media anxiety — with honesty and hope

• Building emotional resilience and self-worth in kids of all ages

• Finding peace as a parent in a world that rarely slows down


Raising Kind Humans in a Chaotic World is a love letter to parents who are doing their best — even on the hard days. It’s a reminder that while we can’t shield our children from every storm, we can give them the roots of kindness and the wings of courage to rise above it.


Warm, wise, and full of heart, Jessica Schoettle offers a grounded message for modern families: we may not be able to change the world overnight, but we can raise the kind of humans who will.

The Anxious Parent: Finding Peace When You Overthink Everything (SIGNED COPY)

$16.99

Parenthood is supposed to be full of joy — but for many, it’s also full of worry.


You love your children so fiercely that it hurts. You stay up late replaying every word you said that day, wondering if you handled something wrong. You overanalyze every decision, every milestone, every what-if. You want to be present, calm, and grateful — but your mind won’t stop running.


If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.


In The Anxious Parent: Finding Peace When You Overthink Everything, author Jessica Schoettle offers a compassionate and honest look at what it means to raise children in a world that never stops demanding more.

Through heartfelt storytelling, grounded insights, and practical guidance, this book helps parents recognize that their anxiety isn’t a flaw — it’s often love that’s working too hard. Each chapter offers understanding, reflection, and simple tools for finding calm in everyday moments, including:

• How to recognize the difference between awareness and fear

• Ways to let go of control while still feeling secure

• The emotional cost of perfectionism — and how to trade it for presence

• How to model emotional regulation for your children

• Simple daily grounding practices for anxious minds

• Gentle ways to share the mental load with your partner, family, or faith


The Anxious Parent isn’t about silencing worry; it’s about learning to live peacefully beside it. It’s about transforming anxiety into awareness, and awareness into connection.


Jessica’s voice is both comforting and real — like a friend who sits beside you, not above you. She doesn’t promise a quick fix; instead, she offers a new way of seeing yourself: as a loving, capable parent who doesn’t need to have it all together to raise kind, resilient, emotionally healthy kids.

You just have to start choosing peace even when your thoughts don’t.

30 Days to Be You Again

Finding Your Way Back to You After Motherhood

Motherhood changes everything—especially you.

Not just your schedule.

Not just your sleep.

But your sense of self.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt unfamiliar…

If you love your children deeply but quietly miss who you used to be…

If your life feels full, yet you feel strangely absent inside it—

This book is for you.

30 Days to Be You Again is not a self-improvement guide, a productivity plan, or a promise to “fix” you. It’s a gentle, honest companion for mothers who feel stretched thin, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from themselves after giving so much to everyone else.

Over the course of thirty days, each chapter invites you to slow down, breathe, and remember who you are beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations. With compassion and clarity, this book helps you name the quiet losses of motherhood, release guilt and pressure, and create space to reconnect with yourself—without rushing, striving, or starting over.

Inside, you’ll explore:

  • Why feeling lost in motherhood is normal—and not a failure
  • How exhaustion, guilt, and survival mode reshape identity
  • Why you’re allowed to rest, want things, set boundaries, and change
  • How to rebuild self-trust and confidence without forcing yourself
  • What it means to move forward gently, as who you are now

Each day offers a reflective chapter, a reframing thought, and a soft invitation—designed to meet you where you are, even on the hardest days.

This book doesn’t ask you to become someone new.

It reminds you that you were never gone.

Whether you read it day by day or return to it whenever you need reassurance, 30 Days to Be You Again is a quiet place to land—a reminder that you matter, you belong in your own life, and you’re allowed to come back to yourself in your own time.

Because you didn’t lose yourself.

You carried everyone else first.
