“Fall reminds you how beautiful it is to let things go.” - unknown

Fall is and has always been my favorite season because of the way the leaves change; showering us in beautiful bright colors and then eventually falling away only to regrow the next year. It’s a great metaphor for the changes that we go through in life.

When I first read this quote it was during a time I desperately needed it. I was holding onto a lot of things that I need to let go of; a marriage, anger with others as well as myself and sadness. But it’s true, sometimes in life we need to just let things go and move on. I’m glad I did because now fall is so much more beautiful when your happy and fulfilled in your life. 🍁

What’s something that surprised you the most about your own fertility?

I hate today.
I hate that others have to experience this immense feeling of pain and sadness. I really don’t have the perfect words to say or inspire hope in others who have suffered a loss, since I’m still reeling from my own recent ones.
Guilt and grief tend to go hand and hand when you experience a child or pregnancy loss and feelings of being alone. So at least for today on National Infant and Pregnancy loss day, know you are not alone and I’m thinking of you. ❤️

How do you unwind and calm yourself at night to get a good night’s sleep? #ad

My mind is constantly on overdrive, especially at night. This makes it hard for me to block out the craziness of our life and focus on an important part of remaining healthy – sleep.

I recently started using @boironusa SleepCalm on the nights that my mind and body are too restless to settle down to help fall asleep, stay asleep and awake without that drowsy feeling the next morning. Made with plant-powered and other pure active ingredients and free of the hormone melatonin, SleepCalm is helping me get the rest my body so desperately needs. Looking for help with children’s sleep? SleepCalm Kids is a liquid and for kids ages 3 and up!

But if you don’t struggle with sleep and are still stressed out during the day, @boironusa also has StressCalm. Take two meltaway tablets during moments of occasional stress and nervous tension to help calm both mind and body, also without any drowsiness. Perfect for those on the go, stressful moments which we all have.

How do you calm your mind and body both day and night to de-stress and sleep better? If you sometimes struggle like me, make sure to check out @boironusa and their SleepCalm and StressCalm products by checking out the link in my bio or in stories!

Day at home sick in October means watching some of mama’s favorite Halloween movies. Anyone else love introducing their kiddos to all these movies they used to watch as a child?
What other movies should I add to the list?

I still can’t believe that a little over a year

I still can’t believe that a little over a year ago I decided, in an effort to save money on our small wedding, to make my own wedding bouquet.

Not only did I make my own, but I made a matching smaller version for Avery.
I have zero experience in making bouquets or keeping plants alive in general but I was determined and was extremely happy with how it came out.

So here’s some motivation that if your set on doing something; go for it! It may just turn out better then you could have ever imagined.
Swipe for some cuteness of me and Avery with our flowers!

Another positive, another miscarriage.

It’s taken me a little bit to write this post because while I want to keep things fun and light here, the reality is my heart is hurting right now. I never thought that I would be in this situation where I would have to say goodbye to another pregnancy before I was ready. I know I am so lucky to have two healthy children to which I am thankful for but I can’t help but feel like my dream of another child is slowly fading.

Less than 5% of women have consecutive miscarriages and I guess that I am just one of the few to experience this but miscarriage is not uncommon and many women experience this in silence. The truth is pregnancy loss is so incredibly lonely and devastating no matter when it happens and I wish women didn’t feel so isolated while going through it. So for all those experiencing or have experienced a pregnancy loss, I’m here for you and you are not alone. ❤️
