Our Journey To Baby Reid

About 3 months ago I decided to open up and share about me and my husband's 2-year struggle with infertility. Making the decision to share about it wasn’t really a hard one because if you know me at all in real life you know I’m pretty much an open book with ALMOST everything. I wasn't always that way but back when I was going through some of the hardest moments in my life, it was the willingness of others to be transparent about what they had been through, that really gave me faith that I could get through it too.

First Comes Love ❤️ , Then Comes Marriage 💍, Then Comes.... Infertility? 🥴

So there is no sugar coating what today’s blog is about. It’s right there, smack dab in the title! Conversations about infertility aren’t the kind of thing you can really ease into or dance around. And as hesitant as I am to open up about it, I believe there are so many other women and couples struggling in this area that I shouldn’t shy away from talking about it just because it’s uncomfortable. And I am not uncomfortable out of embarrassment or shame…

13 Ways to Keep Your Mental Health in Tact During Quarantine

We are approaching the end of April and I have officially lost track of how long we have been in quarantine. Honestly most days I barely know what day of the week it is. 😩 We are definitely living in some interesting times. 🙃When the year started nobody would have ever predicted that just 3 months in we would all be confined to our homes trying to protect ourselves and our families from Covid-19. Life has a funny way of throwing us some unpredictable curve balls. 😕

God did you forget about me?

‘Ok God what you up there doing? You haven’t said yes or no? You aren’t speaking to me about what you want from me while I wait? You are making me watch as other people get the exact thing I’m praying to you about? This is to much God. The weight of it is crushing me. Why are you letting me suffer and not doing anything? Is my mic not on? 🎙What am I supposed to be doing right now? I am feel completely defeated. How do you expect me to hold on to my faith?’

2018 The Year of 'Do it SCARED!'

Happy Saturday guys! And also happy New Year! My original intention for this post was to share it a little over a week ago. But as you can see, that didn’t happen. With the holidays, traveling, and a brand new puppy I have definitely had my hands full. But I hope you all had a wonderful 2018 and holiday season. But like me, I hope you all are expecting an even better 2019. Today I am sharing my beginning of the year tradition. Right before the start of every new year I have gotten into the habit of choosing a word or phrase that I want the year to encompass. I do this because I believe that words hold a lot of power and the things we say…

The Reid's Take Italy!

Ever since we first started dating my husband Ken and I always said that we wanted our relationship to be filled with adventure, including but not limited to travel, new activities, meeting new people, trying new foods, etc. We even made a hashtag for our relationship on our first date: #TheAdventuresOfKenAndNelli. We have definitely lived up to that hashtag because the 2 weeks of my life has refinitely been an adventure.  My husband and I finally took our first trip together since we got married. We love to travel but haven't had the opportunity to since last summer (before our wedding) so this was much needed…

Happy New Year loves! Can you guys believe it is 2018 already? 🗓 Am I the only one who feels like this past year flew by? ⏳ I, like everyone else on the planet, use the new year as a clean slate and always make new years resolutions. And like most I never quite hit the mark lol. But there is one resolution I started 2 years ago that works for me. It might sound kind of weird but...

Why I Shared My Testimony

If you watched My Testimony video last month you heard the story of my life (at least a big chunk of it) and my struggles. I always knew that, even in the midst of my storm,  God was preparing me to help other people get through what I was going through. I was just unsure of how God...

ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMIN'S baby

One area of my life that I have always struggled giving to God, is my finances. I, like most people, was perfectly fine with praying, reading my bible, going to church and even helping people. But I wanted God to let me decide how I would handle my finances. See I grew up...
