In honor of April being c-section awareness month, which until recently I didn’t even know was a thing, I decided to share my first birth story. It was intense and dramatic, less than ideal to say the least. I guess the courteous thing to do here now is post a trigger warning for others with […]
I can’t believe 3 weeks have already gone by in the new year. I have been trying to get a blog post up, but of course, life happens. The days just keep rolling by with or without you and you just have to figure out how to catch up! What I learned .. It takes a […]

I’ve always liked doing arts and crafts but I think my love for crafting really developed when Josef and I started planning our wedding. After getting a few quotes for wedding invitations we quickly realized that costs […]
As a mother, you live for your children and give everything you’ve got to make sure they are protected from anything that may harm them and do all you can to prevent them from experiencing any type of pain. As a pediatric nurse, you comfort families during what is often the worst time in their […]
