... Read moreHearing that a close friend is pregnant, especially when it’s a surprise, is truly a special moment that stays with you forever. From my own experience, the news of unexpected pregnancies can be overwhelming but immensely joyful. When my best friend told me she was pregnant, it took me back to the delicate phase of being 8 weeks postpartum, a time filled with mixed emotions and new challenges. Yet, learning about her journey made me appreciate the unique beauty of each pregnancy and the bonds it creates. A surprise pregnancy often means sudden changes, both emotional and practical, but it also opens doors to newfound happiness and deeper connections with loved ones. Sharing this kind of news often involves heartfelt conversations, planning for the future, and cherishing every milestone together, such as meeting the new baby, like the moment described when going to meet Sofia. If you’re someone experiencing a surprise pregnancy or supporting a friend going through it, remember that it’s completely normal to feel a whirlwind of emotions. Embrace the surprise with hope and excitement, and lean on your community for support. Every pregnancy story is unique, and the joy of sharing it brings people closer, creating lasting memories and a strong support network for the journey ahead.

If you step foot into my house, you will NEVER find me using these items. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the same study as me, but there was a study done about microplastics in the brain. The amount of microplastics in the average adults brain is INSANE. Definitely look into it if you haven’t seen it…

Three baguettes are held up against a Parisian street scene with the Eiffel Tower in the distance. Text overlays 'PAYING FOR THE METRO EACH TIME' and 'Save €€ with the Navigo Pass' highlight a travel tip.
The Eiffel Tower is brightly lit at night. Text overlays 'USING APPLE MAPS' and 'even if you're an avid Apple Maps user, make the switch' advise against using Apple Maps for navigation in Paris.
Paris mistakes I’ll never make again
Paris is an insane city but if you’re not well traveled it can be tricky!! Not using the Navigo Pass: for around $32 USD you can get an unlimited week pass. Even though we only stayed 3 days, this still ended up making the metro SO affordable. Especially since we didn’t know our way around &a
