Sometimes Gifts Come in Tears

1

  The whole day was emotional. I mentioned a few days ago we hit the 20 week mark with Baby Peach on the day of the release, and that morning I had a conversation with my mom I might and hope to never forget. Sometimes you just think people have moved on, but then you [...]



A Friend

path

You know who you are. You’ll come with me to that quiet, and sometimes awkward place – in conversation. A place of silence, maybe a few words. A land of tears. A place that is now empty, only full of shadows of what could have been. A place where we lost so much. A place [...]



Coffee Date.

precious feet

It’s been a while since we’ve caught up. And if I had it my way, we’d all be sitting on big comfy couches with our pajamas and big fluffy pillows in our laps, talking over a cup of coffee, tea, lemonade… something yummy. Talking from one loss mama to another. Even three years later it [...]



I Saw Love on You.

See Love

For all the times I have felt lost… For all the times I felt my heart break in a million pieces… For all the times I wondered what life on the other side might be like… For all the times the sun didn’t feel right shining so brightly after death could be so real… For [...]



Sky Lanterns and Baby Update

418cdcfec85511e1a38422000a1c8933_7

Oh goodness. How have I not seen Tangled before today? The whole lantern scene had me balling. It made me long to do something just like it for Jenna. But honestly her birthday is too far away, so I think I’m going to do something on her due date. The day that should have been [...]



Cocoon

With Daddy

Steph and I were joking about being in this cocoon, away from the internet. I promise you, these days I spend about a fraction of the time online that I used to. Somehow work is still going great. I think it’s promoting all of it that is suffering, but I won’t ever get these days [...]



Railroad

9

Lately I just don’t have a lot to say, or I think the problem is I just can’t find the words to express everything inside. My heart is full. My arms feel half empty, but somehow life is just alright, in a very complete and satisfying way. This weekend I’ll hopefully be on my way [...]



Home

I heard this song and it captured me instantly. At first I was convinced Mumford and Sons sang it (doesn’t it sound like them!?). I love this song. As I listened to the lyrics, they reminded me so much of the sisterhood I found after we lost Jenna in the online baby loss community. We [...]



Gifts

heart rock

I have been wanting to join in on Ann Voskamp’s 1000 gifts link up for a while, and today… since all I am really doing is watching The Wedding Planner, while my little man naps… I think it’s a good time to start. On Mondays, I honestly never know what to write about anyway because my [...]



Flying Lessons

backyard

If you look out from my backyard you’d see this awful looking tower. But I’ve grown to somewhat like this tower. From time to time I see a large bird flying around it, landing and staying awhile. My guess is it’s nest must be up there somewhere. The other day I could have sworn I [...]



Absolutes

bubby

  The other day Bubby and I were laying out on our big trampoline and as I laid there I asked him if he saw anything in the clouds. Knowing he probably understands a little less than I’m trying to pour into him, I kept talking. I explained to him that I am looking for [...]



Coffee Date + Confessions

2

It’s been far too long since we’ve had a coffee date. I hope you’ll grab a cup of your favorite drink (for some reason coffee hasn’t been my favorite so I’ll be drinking iced tea with lemon :). I think it has to do with the (oh, so lovely) warm weather we’ve been having. Tea just [...]



On Easter Sunday

1

I might be wearing my $15 dress I snagged from Old Navy… I might (or might not) get up early enough to make myself some waffles, after fixing Bubby’s breakfast. I’m not a morning person, it doesn’t matter what day it is. Forgive me? :) The day already feels like it will be filled with [...]

Pin It


I am convinced

1

… that fear and faith cannot coexist. … that the victim mentality could easily be my downfall. I am not a victim, I have been blessed beyond measure.  … that embracing life for what it is is not a one time event. … that you make the choice to LIVE everyday to it’s fullest – every day, sometimes more [...]



Paper Butterflies

mothers day

I’m a fairly simple girl to please. When I found these beautiful butterflies at the art store a while back I had no idea what I’d really use them for but I knew there had to be something. They are so delicate, and simply gorgeous. I used part of the butterfly banner on Jenna’s memory [...]
