    Blown Away

    Wow….I just want to say thank you all SO much for all of the messages that I received on my last post. There are so many of you that are going thru the battle of infertility right alongside of us and I just want to say that I see you and I appreciate you sharing all of your stories with me. I know it’s not easy to talk about and for you to trust me means a lot. Sending you all love and if you ever need someone to talk to about it, I’m here. To those of you who…

    Another Side of Motherhood

    Oof, it has been a while. To start off I wasn’t really sure that I planned on talking about this but last night I couldn’t sleep and I felt like I was being pushed to share so bear with me. I actually wrote the whole thing in my head as I laid in bed so we will see if that will translate to actually typing it out. I’ve really missed writing but have felt a bit of the comparison game set in so anytime I went to write something, I chickened out. So here we are ripping off the band-aid…

    5 of our Favorite Summertime Activities

    It’s finally summer and getting warm out, ayooo! Not going to lie, it’s been a heck of a month and a half-ish. In my last post I mentioned that I had been sick but it never really went away. I ended up at urgent care 3 times in May – twice to get some medicine to help how I was feeling and once because I had an allergic reaction to one of the medications. After finally feeling some relief and getting better from what ended up being pneumonia, we were hit with the vid. Luckily, Boston hasn’t tested positive but…

    Recent Reads, Potty Training, Life Lately

    I’m currently writing this as I watch/judge the celebrities’ looks as they arrive to the Met Gala while I sit on my couch in sweatpants and an old sweatshirt…but I love it. I have a friend that is just as invested in seeing the looks as me so we just text and send Instagram messages back and forth talking about the hits and misses. It’s one of my favorite pastimes ๐Ÿ˜‰ But anyways, I’ve read more books the past 3 weeks than I read all year last year. When it comes to reading, it kind of comes in phases, I…

    Random Life Things

    Hi! I hope you’re doing well ๐Ÿ™‚ It feels good to be back! Before I dive into the other few blog posts that I’ve been working on, I thought I’d do a quick life update. In September, college football season started! We are HUGE Michigan fans, if you didn’t know. So Anthony and I started off the first couple of weeks in Ann Arbor and it was a lot of fun. Not only did I grow up going to games because my Dad has had tickets since way before I was born but the Big House field is where Anthony…

    Celebrating Our Bodies

    So a few weeks ago, I had a dream that I shared one of my biggest insecurities here. I shared pictures and my feelings towards it. At first, I was unsure if I should talk about it because, was I really ready? Then I realized that I will never be “ready” but I started this blog to be real and to not filter my life or feelings so here we are… It has been over a year and a half since I gave birth and I am still learning to appreciate the new look of my body but mostly my…

    6 Self-Care Tips if You’re Having a Rough Day

    I’ll start this off by being honest…I have been struggling lately. I just feel kind of sad and out of it. So this past weekend, we rented a cabin in Northern Michigan where we stay with my family every summer, just to get away and relax as a family. It was reallyyyyy nice to have a change of scenery. And before you ask, my Mom watched Nani and she had a nice, relaxing weekend, too. (Gracias, Mamรก!). Going on a weekend getaway isn’t normally an option when you’re having a rough time so I’m going to share some of the…

    Surprise!

    We got a puppy! Meet Nani! She is a 12 week old French Bulldog and Boston loves her from far away but is unsure when she’s giving him kisses ๐Ÿ˜œ This has been something I’ve been looking forward to for weeks so to finally have her home with us and share with you is so exciting! (Fun fact: I’ve never had a girl dog so it was pretty fun for me to start shopping for her.) A little backstory…We’ve always wanted a family dog. Someone for our kids to grow up with but it never worked out for us, until…

    7 Things You Might Not Know About Me

    Happy New Year! It’s weird because 2020 felt like the longest and shortest year all at the same time. If you follow me on Instagram then you saw that I was showered and in my pj’s by 8 pm. We brought in the New Year drinking sparkling grape juice and hanging out on FaceTime with friends. I figured a good way to start off 2021 was just a post with random things you might not know about me. Like a quick ‘get to know’ me post. My nickname is B which is from the last part of my name. My…

    Life Lately

    Hi!! It’s been a few months but I just needed a minute to refocus/reassess what I wanted to do with this blog. This year (as you all know) has been tough, weird, heavy, all of the things. I’ve been struggling to find the motivation to do much. Normally, I can find a rhythm or routine but right now, it’s just not there. I’ll talk more on that later. Anyways, let’s catch up! Since my last post, Boston turned 1 (!!!!) in October and we had our immediate family over in our backyard to celebrate with us. It was the first…
