It's been a long time since I've taken the time to sit down and put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard in this case), to share my thoughts here on this blog. That's not for a lack of desire, but rather for a lack of time. This is because on January 29th, 2021, my … Continue reading I’m Baaaack … & I’M OFFICIALLY A MOM!
Hello Third Trimester … Looking Back On The Storms & Silver Linings Of The First 27 Weeks
Today (November 4th 2020) officially marks my 27th week of pregnancy, which also happens to mean I am now finally in the third trimester (yes, I know some standard go by the 28th week, but I'm sticking with week 27 because it feels good to finally be at this point). Looking back on the first … Continue reading Hello Third Trimester … Looking Back On The Storms & Silver Linings Of The First 27 Weeks
Gratitude in 2020
Thanksgiving Weekend is upon us (for my American readers - yes, we Canadians celebrate a tad early), and there's no denying that it is going to look a little bit different this year thanks to the omnipresent and ever changing virus that's halted life in it's tracks over the past 7+ months. However, despite the … Continue reading Gratitude in 2020
S’more Love Coming Soon … Looking Back On The First 20 Weeks Of Pregnancy
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that last week, my husband Mac and I shared a prettttyyy huge piece of news. And while for the rest of the planet it may not have qualified as 'world changing,' here within the four walls of our own home, that phrase barely begins to describe it. … Continue reading S’more Love Coming Soon … Looking Back On The First 20 Weeks Of Pregnancy
It’s Not Just “Looking On The Bright Side”
"Seeking out the brightness in the brokenness and sharing it with you." At the beginning of 2020, as I re-strategized with the purpose of what this blog would be, I changed my tagline both here and on my Instagram to the phrase you see above. But today, I realized that all of these months later, … Continue reading It’s Not Just “Looking On The Bright Side”
Facts Over Feelings (But Embracing the Feelings Too!)
A couple of years ago, I was listening to a podcast (which I've now unfortunately forgot the name of, so I cannot give credit where it is due), and the guest made a statement that rattled me to my core. She said that a lesson she's learned, and continually reminds herself of throughout her daily … Continue reading Facts Over Feelings (But Embracing the Feelings Too!)
Grief + Gratitude – My Most Unexpected Experience Of Loss
There's no sugarcoating it ... Grief sucks. It sucks up and down and all around. There are few words that can encapsulate the experience of grief, and the burden it is to carry. And although the annihilating pain that grief (so generously) offers may be universal, it is also never uniform. Just as we love … Continue reading Grief + Gratitude – My Most Unexpected Experience Of Loss
Quarantine Chronicles – The Brightness In The Brokenness
In the months that have passed since March, we have watched the world change around us. As the wrath of COVID-19 reaches far and wide, I don't know of a single person in my life that has not been impacted by this pandemic in one way or another. As I say that, I say it … Continue reading Quarantine Chronicles – The Brightness In The Brokenness
Meditation & Mental Health
I've long been an advocate for mental wellness, and ending the stigma that surrounds it. I believe we've come incredibly far the past few years, and it seems that most people in my own inner circle are now very comfortable discussing their experiences with mental health and healing openly and honestly. I love this. And … Continue reading Meditation & Mental Health
After A Bajillion Days In Quarantine ,,,
I'm baaaaack! And I'm so glad you've joined me here. As you've probably noticed, I've taken a bit of a 'hiatus' from this blog over the past few weeks. There have been a few key reasons for that. First and foremost, my primary reasoning has been that we are currently living in an era of … Continue reading After A Bajillion Days In Quarantine ,,,
