February ended up being exactly what I needed, at least the last half of the month. After I found out about my missed miscarriage and had the D&C procedure done, I definitely had an active grieving period when I felt down and cried quite a bit. Once I started physically feeling better again–for the first …
Goodness and Beauty {1}
I’ve been wanting to start a new blog series for awhile now, but I just couldn’t pinpoint exactly how to go about doing it. I wanted it to focus on the joy of ordinary moments, and I wanted it to force me to slow down long enough to not only notice all the good things …
Loving and Learning Lately {42}
Welcome to Round 42 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately! Here you’ll find everything from the books I’m currently reading to the products I’m loving to the shows I’m watching (which, spoiler alert–won’t be very many or very exciting, since I’m not a huge …
Day in the Life of a Work-at-Home Mom of 3 (16 Feb 2022)

What Might Have Been: Our Second Miscarriage
On Wednesday, I will say goodbye to our baby that should have been born in late August, at the peak of flower season. The baby I found out about just two days before Christmas. Obviously, this is not the post I wanted to write. The post I wanted to write was one I was going …
A Snapshot of My Life Today 1/27/2022
Greetings from the land of the eternal January! I almost didn’t get this post done because our life has looked pretty boring lately, but I figured I have a nice little streak of doing these once a month, so I’d best get on with it! Outside my window, we have a layer of thick, crusty …
Second 101 in 1001 Challenge: Update #3
In case you’re new around here, I’m currently working on my second 101 in 1001 list, which is a list of 101 goals or things I hope to complete/do in 1,001 days (which translates to about 2.75 years). This format for goal-setting has been highly motivating for me because it combines the power of a …
