When 2017 rolled around, I was focused. I planned to get this dissertation mostly completed, and spend my year gestating my future child. I had come off of surgery at the end of 2016 to remove two sneaky fibroids and a failed IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination) cycle at the end of the year. I was disappointed… Continue reading LOL @ Your Plans…

Writer’s Block…
One would think I'd have a wealth of things to write about. Sometimes, that's just not true. This time of year has been challenging for me and some days, I'm barely getting by y'all. So since I can't seem to fully form blog entries for today, I'm going to post some pics that capture some… Continue reading Writer’s Block…
There is NO Safe Zone!
*Language Warning so if you're offended by curses, pick another post ;-)* This post is going to be short and sweet because the truth is always more concise. I heard about a study that found people who lie use more words overall than people who tell the truth. Makes sense, right? The truth doesn’t need… Continue reading There is NO Safe Zone!
7 Ways to Practice Gratitude
So a holiday is coming up. I won’t go into the sordid history of the “relationship” between indigenous people and pilgrims but the general message we’re supposed to get out of this holiday is to be grateful for the blessings you have received and to break bread with family and friends alike.

On March 13, 2017 I found out that I was pregnant. Within a week or so, I found out we were having twins. Around April 15th, we were able to see our little gummy bears moving around in utero looking like Yin and Yang. When we went to our appointment in May, we saw our… Continue reading 11/17/17

I Don’t Hate Your Baby… I Just Really Miss Mine
I used to love babies. If someone I know had a baby, I’d be one of the first people around wanting to hold, talk to, cuddle and love on the little one.

Happiest, Saddest Place…
What’s your happy place? The place you go where you feel at your best, your joy level is at it’s highest and you try to go as often as possible just to meet that need? For me, that place is Central Florida. I know Disney is typically deemed the “happiest place on earth” and though… Continue reading Happiest, Saddest Place…
7 Times You Just KNOW You’d be a Better Momma
So…. this list is kind of in jest but kinda not. I’ll preface by saying that none of these things are indicative of someone’s actual parenting ability all the time and we (I) should probably stop judging but… it is what it is and I am judging.
