I’m someone that likes to compartmentalize my life. Work is in its own box. Family life is in its own box. Church has its own box. My hobbies have a box. Most of the time, when I’m in a certain box, I don’t volunteer information from other boxes. This results in me being a very … More Trauma is Trauma
Dude…I finally get to announce our big news. We’re expecting again! I’m so excited to be pregnant again, which is something I never thought I’d say in my life, but I am!

Life has been a whirlwind for the past month and a half. I seriously have not. had. time. to blog. So now I’m seizing the moment to reflect quickly on 2017. It’s been a year of highs and the lowest of lows I’ve ever experienced. So here’s my quick rundown of 2017: January: Cody and … More Saying Goodbye to 2017

I would be in the middle of my second trimester and I’d be feeling like kicks from my baby. I know there’s no … More It’s Okay to Not be Okay Sometimes
Since I missed last week, I’m doing two entries today. Woo-hoo! What are five things you would like to do more? I can only list five? Haha. Travel. I don’t necessarily wish I could travel around the world. (I mean, have you seen how hard it is to travel with a toddler?) I just wish … More Journal (Week #3)

I loved living there. I love the variety of cultures in the Bay Area, the food, the people, and the closeness … More Journal (Week #2)

I was going to wait for another day to write this post, but I feel like I can’t focus on anything until I write it. (Writer problems…am I right?) In the last couple months, I lost a lot of who I was. After my half marathon, I got a stress fracture and had to wear … More I’m Calling it a Comeback
I swear I need to put in every post that my to-do list is to write more! Once a month isn’t bad, right? 😉 Back in February, I saw an ad for Be the Match on Facebook and wondered why I hadn’t joined it yet. I realized I had no reason not to be a … More NLTDL: Join Be the Match
