Down by the Water

Down by the Water


Hello! I don't even know how to blog anymore. It's been so long. A good year since I shared about our IVF journey and our failed transfer/chemical pregnancy. A lot of life has happened since then. The greatest of all is that in a deep heartfelt conversation - & wise beyond her years - Magnolia told me she is happy being an only child. Her peace allowed me to close the infertility/IVF book for good. I'm the oldest of four and I only know life with siblings that are my best friends. I envisioned that for Magnolia and God had other plans. She is the center of my life and I celebrate daily the moments we get to share together. I don't miss a beat and we are side-by-side 90% of the time. I tear up thinking about how God had this plan for us all along. Our souls so greatly intertwined and a connection that is indescribable. The song Past Lives by Born is the melody of my heart for her. 

All my past lives, they got nothing on meGolden eagle, you're the one and only, flying highThrough the cities in the sky (ooh-ooh)I'll take you way back, countless centuriesDon't you remember that you were meant to beMy Queen of Hearts? Meant to be my love?
Through all of my livesI never thought I'd wait so long for youThe timing is right, the stars are aligned
So save that heart for me'Cause, girl, you know that you're my destiny (d-destiny)Swear to the moon, the stars, the sons, and the daughtersOur love is deeper than the oceans of water

A few weeks ago we did photos down by the water. We were both very relaxed and the cool summer breeze made it unforgettable. I'm forever grateful to Allix with Serendipity Photography for capturing our laughs, twirls, and splashes.

VEGAMOUR - Ready, Set, Gro Kit

VEGAMOUR - Ready, Set, Gro Kit


If you know me you know I'm obsessed with hair & scalp care. Nothing is better than a product that gives you good hair day after good hair day! I was a bit worried after all the IVF drugs & hormonal changes that my hair would take a hit, but back in March I started using Vegamour Gro Kit and my hair and scalp have actually improved over the last few months. It's grown like crazy and the little baby hairs on top of my head have to be tamed. I think a lot of people only think about taking care of their hair, but just like your face your scalp needs love too. I apply the Vegamour Hair Gro Serum to the crown of my head and above each temple where it's always a bit thinner, after shampooing and conditioning with their revitalizing set. I've also been using their detoxifying serum on the same areas that I apply the serum. The detoxifying serum goes on BEFORE washing and helps remove buildup which is important for me because I use lots of styling products and go 4-6 days between washing. 

For this post I went back to look at my hair over the last few months and I'm definitely happy with this product. With all the fertility treatments and endometriosis, I'm always very concerned about clean ingredients and Vegamour uses plant based phytoactives instead of silicone and sulfates like many other beauty companies. 

I could not give a more glowing product review! Truly love this stuff. Oh, and I have to mention the SMELL. It smells amazing, my niece smelled it and now she is planning to get the set soon. Go to their website and look at the BEFORE & AFTER reviews. It's really amazing how much new hair growth others have had with it.

Just Breathe

Just Breathe


I had an ultrasound and blood work today as we get ready for our frozen embryo transfer (FET). This morning as the phlebotomist was taking my blood I noticed her tattoo "JUST BREATHE!" The prayer Ryan said before we left our house on May 17, 2016 for the FET of our Magnolia, was "JUST BREATHE!" It was a simple prayer, and the song "Just Breathe" by Willie Nelson was our song for our journey to her. After our transfer in 2016, I was wheeled back to our room & the doctor's office music started to play "Breathe" by Anna Nalick. Our prayer played above our heads the moment we got back to our room!!! I'll never forget how Ryan's eyes instantly teared up as we felt God working miracles in our lives and sending us signs of peace + hope + love.
