so this is love.
Memorial weekend always feels to me like the unofficial launch of all things SUMMER. Friends, I am so excited. Summer usually means business slows down a bit, which actually is okay with me. You see, when Jenna died it was around this time of year. Summer was about to begin and as much as I [...]
Sometimes life is so full. Full of laundry piles, sick babies, dirty dishes, grocery runs, bills, emails, bad hair days. Life gets full. I have always felt like a part of me is a writer. Not to be confused with the writer that writes best-selling novels and travels the world on the publisher’s dime. But [...]
I have this dream. It’s pretty close to my heart. It might not be big to others, but it’s big to me. It’s what I’ve been talking with my husband about lately. He’s welcomes the idea, but he’s skeptical. He says I’m already so busy, and he’s so right. But it’s hard to shake a [...]
My annoying little alarm clock began ringing at 6am this morning. I didn’t want to miss the sunrise for “Capture Your Grief“, but I also have no idea what time the sun actually rises these days so I set it early just in case. Hubby took the day off today and about 3 times after [...]
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 [...]
I read this post the other day and I haven’t been able to shake it. About breaking my routine. At first I convinced myself that I already do this. And maybe I do, sometimes. But not nearly enough. There is a tendency to do what is comfortable. Necessary. Expected. I am breaking away. Taking one day [...]
I am actually kind of sad that these 12 days are coming to a close, but I do hope they have ministered to your heart, and maybe given you an idea or two that you can relate to, to remember your child(ren) in Heaven this Christmas. Anyway right now it’s just me on the blog, [...]

I know, I know. Christmas is not for a few more weeks but I can’t stop thinking about it. For so many happy and sad reasons. Life is so bittersweet. Some things just never change. This is definitely one of them. My heart was falling into a million pieces the other day as so many [...]
Some of you may have already heard about her awesomeness through Illuminate or Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope, but today I’d love to share Beryl’s new project and website which I think you will a true inspiration. When she shared bits of it with me I was DYING to see this new project and [...]

Holy snap. What a week. My eyes are craving sleep these days! Life is good. Life is weird sometimes. Like last night. I am hands down a people pleaser. And I hate every second of it. I talk a big game- you can’t please everyone, so don’t try… but in truth my heart hurts way [...]
