Our New Little Life

Recently there have been so many days, that I honestly just forget to be grateful. I start to focus on all of the negative things going on in my life, and all of the good things, no matter how small or big, get forgotten. The truth is I have so much to be grateful for. The last week I have started listing things everyday that I am grateful for. It's something that I'd like to challenge any of you reading this to do. The world tends to be so negative, with politics, opinions, debating, etc. I want to do my tiny little part in maybe making a change in just a few peoples lives. I have a happy and healthy baby. I have a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally. We have two vehicles.  We have wonderful neighbors, who always seem to be there when we need it most. We both have extremely stable jobs.  I now have a job, that allows me to be home on the weekends AND Holidays. I get to take my daughter to work with me. I have a husband who is very handy in making furnit...

I love to snack, I mean who doesn't? But when it comes to snacking, I occasionally struggle to eat carrots instead of an entire bag of Cheetos.

Kiddos won't even notice the difference. I know you can find these at pretty much any grocery store, but if you don't have one near you I've left the link for you below! Find Them Here! I was never a huge fan of bars in general, until I finally came across these! The Dark Chocolate ...

One in four women have experienced a miscarriage. One in 160 women have experienced a still birth. Twenty percent of known pregnancies, are a blighted ovum. There are so many different reasons, that so many couples, have angel babies. It's something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The emotional roller coaster, that couples go on, can last weeks, months, or even years. People never talk about the process of healing, let alone the loss, and it shouldn't be so taboo. It's sad, yes, but sometimes all  grieving mother, or father needs is someone to say "I understand what your going through, and it gets better." I have an almost eight month old daughter. When she was six months old, we found out that I was pregnant again. After the initial panic of having two under two, we got excited, even though we knew we shouldn't get too excited yet. A couple days after finding out, Andrew left on a DET, He would be gone for two months. I knew he was goi...
