These are my absolute favorite Mommy & home items.
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.

Read MoreThe end of 2019 was very overwhelming for me. I had a very busy year with work. I think I did about 6 or 7 trips back forth to Chicago for the year, 11 wedding, countless photo sessions, and that’s just with work.

But like me, I hope you all are expecting an even better 2019. Today I am sharing my beginning of the year tradition.
