March Foxy Moxy: Jessie James Decker!
Our March Foxy Moxy, Jessie James Decker, does it all! She’s a mom (pregnant with #2!), a wife, the co-host of CMT’s “Redneck Island,” a recording artist, swimsuit designer, and philanthropist!
Jessie launched the Eric & Jessie Decker Foundation which strives to positively impact the lives of United States military veterans, at risk children, and animals. EJDF is committed to service for those who have served us, including the rescue and training of service animals through Decker’s Dogs, as well as providing meaningful assistance to children in need of support, guidance, confidence, and love.
Here’s a glimpse into Jessie’s world!
1) Tell us about your family! I am married and a mother to an incredible little girl Vivianne Rose with another on the way!
2) Tell us about your upcoming fashion lines! I have a swimsuit line with an Australian swimwear brand called Amore and Sorvete. It will be my own collection entitled “Jessie James Decker for Amore and Sorvete” that I designed alongside the creator and owner. It will be available this Spring at www.amoreandsorvete.com. I also have a clothing line coming out called “Kittenish,” which is the name I created for the overall look I feel. It’s sexy and cute. I have partnered with Kora Rae to design the collection. The KITTENISH by Kora Rae collection will debut in June 2015 and will be available on KoraRae.com
3) What’s next in music from you? I have a single out right now called “Clint Eastwood” and a music video on CMT. I’m also working on my new album which is coming out this summer.
4) You’re a busy lady! How do you find time to juggle everything? I try to balance it all and it’s possible because I have help from my sister and mom! Without them I wouldn’t be able to do half of the things that I do.
5) Advice for working moms? My advice to working moms is to be easy on yourselves and try to find a balance. I used to feel so bad when I was away from Vivianne for a couple of hours to go write/work, but I realized it’s good to do things for yourself and work so that you can maintain who you are as a woman, and not just as a mom. You have to make sure that you keep your identity as a woman in addition to being a mother and wife.
6) Best advice someone gave you? When I am so stressed and overwhelmed and I feel like something can’t be resolved and will never get better, my mama always says “let’s worry about that tomorrow.” It always makes me feel better because I immediately stop thinking about it and it doesn’t seem as stressful the next day.
7) Favorite thing to do when you have free time? I am a bubble bath queen. I will take a bath, light candles, have some wine (when not pregnant of course) and put on “Sex and the City.”
8) Funniest mom moment so far? Vivianne hates peepee diapers, so sometimes when she wets her diaper, she rips it off and walks around with her cute little booty out and it makes me laugh every time!
