2020 It was an interesting year to say the least. As a nation we’ve suffered in so many ways; as a planet we’ve experienced loss, extreme heartache and indescribable anxiety. But under all that pain, there have also been good things happening around us. Some small, unnoticeable, wonderful things and some as obvious as the […]
I love Christmastime, I really do! Not only do we get to decorate the tree, put up all the lights and spend much needed quality time with family, but also there are ALL the holiday movies coming out. I know I can’t be the only sucker for cheesy holiday movies, right? And luckily for […]
Thanksgiving! Ahhh the one holiday I’ve been looking forward to for all of 2020! Yes, of course my mom’s turkey, her stuffing, homemade casseroles, pies etc. are a huge part of my excitement.

28 months. 2 years and 110 days to be exact, but who’s counting? Well, in all honesty, I am. That’s how long my husband and I have been suffering with secondary infertility.
