I seriously cannot believe it’s almost March. Over the last few months I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, drained, anxious – and it’s not because we have a little babe in the house and sleep is not what it used to be. I have spent the better part of the last decade building up my career and […]

Over the weekend I found myself mourning the family we will likely never have. I’ve been in this place before, but not like I have lately. Up until now, unless I was speaking with one of our lawyers, I didn’t think about it. I had buried the thought of our frozen embabies so deep in […]

Last night Irwin and I got to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary! We are actually very traditional when it comes to anniversary celebrations and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hello lovely people! It’s been well over five months since I last wrote anything here, but lately I’ve been feeling a tug to start writing again. To update you as quickly as possible: I am 29 weeks pregnant with a little GIRL! To say we were shocked was an understatement. From the day of our […]

My guess is you can hear me yawning all the way where you are. Work weeks should be two days and weekends should be five, right? Saturday remained pretty uneventful, but yesterday was a whirlwind. We went to the early service at church as we were hosting Irwin’s family for Easter. Unfortunately, that didn’t exactly […]

what a weekend

I worked from home yesterday which was a much-needed break from my office. I had a higher than normal level of energy on Wednesday, but that quickly caught up with me and I couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed yesterday. I ended up even taking a nap before noon rolled around and felt a […]
