This nursery was so important to me. 🤍 I wanted as much natural light as possible, but I also wanted the room to feel warm, cozy, and like a little escape. My whole house is light and bright, and I’m not typically drawn to darker colors, but for this room I wanted something different. I wanted t

I still can’t believe we made it here. 🥹💙 After everything it took to get to this moment, I finally got to decorate my baby’s nursery. I got to pick out the little details, fold the tiny clothes, and make a space for our baby boy. There were so many moments I wondered if I’d ever get to do this…

I’m not aesthetically pleasing. But this is what my mornings look like they start pretty early. I get my house and myself in order and then I go see my wonderful baby from about 7:30 until seven at night and Tyler usually comes to relieve me until his last touch time after he leaves work. I’m g

This isn't an aesthetic morning vlog. 🤍 It's just my real life. Getting ready for another day balancing work and spending every moment I can in the NICU with my little boy. One day at a time until we bring River home. 💙 #NICUMom #NICULife #PreemieJourney #WorkingMom #AdoptionJourney

We only have 21 puzzle pieces left. 🤍😭 I honestly can't believe we're this close. Every single piece has been sponsored by someone who chose to be part of River's story, and we are beyond grateful. This puzzle has become so much more than a fundraiser it's a reminder that it truly takes a villag
