As a type A, listmaking multi-tasker, it is in my very nature to take on a lot. I’ve learned to handle stress better as I’ve gotten older. Good old experience! However, being all of these things while pregnant got me like…
Pregnancy: Month 2
Heading into Month 2 of pregnancy seemed like an absolute breeze. After that TWW, everything had to be great, right? Here’s what I observed during my 2nd month!
TWW and MB
It’s exciting and exhilarating to think that I’m growing a tiny human. For many women it’s not easy getting here. Let’s talk about the most agonizing thing about conception.
The secret is out and times are a-changin’!
Whilst we all know I am a little slow on blog posting, a 3 month hiatus seems a bit much! Well it’s for a great reason: I’m so happy to share that we are expecting a little girl in January!
How Lovely to be a Woman…
As a blogger, a writer, a wife, a wedding officiant, a singer, a concierge, a crocheter, a friend, an aunt, a daughter, or whatever you want to call me, I am something different to every person I meet and know.

Yesterday was my birthday. Usually I’m a chronic sufferer on the day of my birth, often opting for hiding under the covers instead of celebrating. This year I spent it in cozy in my bed, binge watching Grey’s Anatomy and enjoying my favorite chicken salad on a bagel, and it was more of a celebration than I’ve given myself in years.
