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…
Read MoreWe 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. 😕
Read MoreHappy tax season guys! Since this is the time of year when finances are at the forefront of our minds, I thought this would be a good time to share some super good news. As of this past December, my husband and I are officially CREDIT CARD DEBT FREE! Our ultimate goal is to be completely debt free but seeing as though we have only been married for a year and a half now we are really excited to have accomplished this one huge one step towards our ultimate goal…
Read MoreHappy 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…
Read MoreEver 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…
Read MoreWelp guys, today is the Big THREE OH (30) and I could not be more grateful! 🙌🏾 For allot of people I know 30 is a hard pill to swallow. My mom and grandmother said they both shed some tears on their 30th birthday because it was the first time they ever felt like they were old. 😫 Now I can not promise there won't be any tears but I will say that I do not feel old. Honestly I feel like my life is just beginning. Like 30 is where life is actually going to start getting good…
Read MoreOne of my favorite things on facebook is the 'On This Day' feature. I love logging in and seeing what I was doing, thinking, or snapping 📸 on this very day last year, 2 years ago, and maybe even 6 or 7 years ago. When I looked at this feature today I was excited because I realized that today is a really special day. On this day, 2 years ago, I boarded a flight to Dallas meet my Husband, Ken, for the first time. I haven't really talked much about how we met or our journey to marriage so I want to take today to start sharing our love story...
Read MoreHappy 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...
