Some people believe life begins at 18 days… or 12 weeks… or 20 weeks… or when a baby has taken it’s first breath…. I’m not that person. I believe life begins at conception. And I believe that every single life is precious and whole. — I’ve been talking with a lot of men and women […]
“God won’t give you more than you can handle.” Screw that. —— Finding out you just lost a baby, even one you weren’t aware of yet, is never something God thinks you can handle. Like it’s some sort of game He’s playing… waiting to see how strong He can make you become via the various life […]

This post was previously posted on The Kindred Women, but since that blog has since been on hiatus, I’m reposting some of my writings onto our blog here. I hope you enjoy! I’m only half-joking with that title up there. Seriously, sometimes I think you have to be half-wizard to be able to breastfeed. Breastfeeding… […]
***At 32 weeks pregnant, I wrote out this blog post one morning. Exhausted and frustrated, the tears ran from my eyes as I furiously left my heart in the words I typed. Spurred into action by yet another ridiculous comment from a stranger at the store about how awful parenthood is… and tired of hearing […]
We never thought this day would come. Like, ever. — I have struggled with PCOS my whole life, and with so many ruptured cysts over the years, we thought I might have trouble getting pregnant. And well, we did. 5 years of marriage later and with no pregnancies in site, we had decided that maybe […]
