Hey guys! Happy Hump Day! Thought I'd pop in and give you a quick update about what we've been up to! I had family in town last weekend from Chicago to celebrate the slew of October & November birthdays (literally, there's 9!) and we were super excited to catch up with them on Friday! We… Continue reading Weekly Updates
Loving Lately, Vol 10 – Recent Purchases
A Daily Planner If you know me personally, you would know that I'm ridiculously Type-A. I like to schedule EVERYTHING (errands, workouts, blog posts) so a daily planner is a must-have item for me. In years past, I've typically bought my planners from Amazon or Target, and they work just fine, but for 2019 I… Continue reading Loving Lately, Vol 10 – Recent Purchases
Halloween Heaviness
It’s not even 11:00 am, and I find myself needing to swear off social media for the day. During a quick scroll, I counted five pregnancy announcements. FIVE. Cute fall and Halloween themed photos, excitedly announcing “our little pumpkin” arriving in May. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am friends with these people, and I’m… Continue reading Halloween Heaviness
Loving Lately, Vol. 9 – Subscription Box Faves
As a self-proclaimed beauty product junkie, I enjoy trying new products frequently. One inexpensive way to do that is through subscription boxes. I subscribe to several of them, and they truly light up my day when they arrive in my mailbox.

4 Changes I Am Making
Since our second loss, I have felt that it's time to make some changes for the benefit of my health and well-being. Going to Church/Becoming More Spiritual I grew up Catholic, and went to Catholic schools from kindergarten through twelfth grade, so faith was a regular part of my life -- whether I wanted it… Continue reading 4 Changes I Am Making
Halloween 2018
Over the years, I have kind-of hated Halloween. Okay, hate is a strong word. But, I've always been a total chicken when it comes to anything scary, especially Haunted Houses, and I'm not even exaggerating when I say that once I passed out in the ball pit of the U.S.S. Nightmare, and had to be carried out. … Continue reading Halloween 2018
Exercising and Podcasting
Lately I have been craving distraction and routine, and my body is in dire need of exercise. I've been feeling quite unlike myself. We've been eating so much comfort food (read: junk food) because we haven't been much in the mood to cook, and my body pains were preventing me from wanting to do any… Continue reading Exercising and Podcasting
The Angel Statue & Test Results
Last Thursday, I met my mom at the Oak Hills Cemetery where the Angel statue is that I talked about in this post. The statue is so beautiful, and I know I will be visiting often. I am thinking about having a brick engraved and placed around the statue. It's relatively inexpensive, and I think… Continue reading The Angel Statue & Test Results
How we’re feeling/One week update
Today marks one week since we learned that we lost our second baby. ...the baby we we thought for sure was our rainbow baby. Tomorrow I'll be one week post-op. ...the second time in which our baby's remains were scraped from inside my uterus. How are we feeling? Emotionally - Justin and I are absolutely… Continue reading How we’re feeling/One week update
How I’m feeling – D&C Day… again.
October 2, 2018 As a woman who is typically great with words, I seem to be speechless right now. There are no words which accurately describe the whirlwind of the last 48 hours. To say that we feel heartbroken, helpless, and devastated, would be an understatement. I never imagined that this would actually happen again,… Continue reading How I’m feeling – D&C Day… again.
