I never expected my pregnancy to end this way. I still count the weeks each Saturday. Every time I look up there’s a baby or someone announcing their pregnancy. We should be preparing to welcome our healthy girl in October. Life is going on around me while I’m stuck on the day I lost our baby girl. I’m trying to hard to keep busy. I thought the rescue cerclage would work. 💔

... Read moreExperiencing pregnancy loss is a profound heartbreak that impacts many individuals and families. The journey can be isolating, yet it's essential to understand that you're not alone. Many parents share similar feelings of loss as they navigate through life post-tragedy. During this difficult time, it's crucial to find support, whether through friends, family, or specialized counseling. Resources such as support groups can provide comfort and a space to share your feelings with those who truly understand your pain. It's also essential to give yourself permission to grieve and to acknowledge that healing takes time. Many parents find solace in creating memorials or rituals to honor their baby’s memory. Engaging in discussions about your feelings can often alleviate some of the isolation and allow for healing. Remember, while life does continue around you, it’s okay to take a moment to pause, reflect, and cherish the bond you had with your baby. Surrounding yourself with positivity and support can help guide you through this challenging journey. Seek out activities that bring you joy or comfort, and don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it. Ultimately, everyone’s healing process is unique; be gentle with yourself in this journey.

I Started Crocheting in My 50s… and It Changed More Than I Expected 🧶✨
I never imagined that picking up a crochet hook in my 50s would become one of my favorite forms of self-care. Crochet helps calm my mind, ease my anxiety, and slow down in a world that always seems to be rushing. Every stitch reminds me to be patient, creative, and present. This little doll i

Not quite what I expected…
It smelled beautiful but I was expecting it to be loud. I love gourmand scents so I definitely fell in love with it. Perfect for layering though.

I came across this TikTok trend where people tell their significant other they signed up for caroling, so I figured I’d give it a try. My girlfriend isn’t exactly the biggest fan of Christmas compared to me, but I thought it’d be funny to see her reaction. Let’s just say… it went about as well as I

Self-acceptance is harder than expected
For most of my life, I thought that the negative things I said about myself were just signs of me becoming comfortable with who I was. It felt like a coping mechanism, like I was learning to take control of the narrative and not let anyone else's words affect me. But deep down, I never realized
