Life, Love, & Laundry

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness month. It is a hard topic to talk about, so it is important that we do talk about it, so others know they are not alone.  Our pregnancy loss began early in our marriage. Actually, there was a good chance we would have lost Adrianna (our first) if it had been before the time of ultrasounds. The placenta had pulled away from the wall of the uterus and I was on bedrest for a good chunk of the pregnancy.  I always had this weird "I don't want anyone to know we were trying...

I have a love/hate relationship with writing blogs. I enjoy writing them....when they write themselves....when I put my pen to paper (or fingers to the keyboard) and I just let loose and don't have to really think about what I am writing...it just pours out of me. BUT, when that does not happen and it is the day the blog is due....that can be very frustrating. I love that people love reading what I write....but that also puts the pressure of trying to write things that people will want to read. hahaha  Today is an "off day"...I have written 5...

An Ode to Sickness Hello Sickness my old friend, I've gotten hit with you again, Because a virus softly creeping, Left it's seed while I was sleeping, and the virus that was planted in my chest, still congests.

I actually just wrote this especially for this blog post :) Enjoy!  Always Welcome The day the leaves start to change colour, the temperature begins to slowly drop. Sweaters and socks become a part of my attire...hot drinks become a part of our daily routine. Hot chocolate, tea, a warm cup of anything to warm myself from the inside out.  Fuzzy socks to keep my feet warm on cold floors. Cuddling on the couch, without being too warm....

I have sold many Blendtecs....at least 3 or 4...which might not sound like a lot...but 1) I do not really sell Blendtecs and 2) they are expensive, so not an overly easy sell. lol  I bought myself a Vitamix many years ago...I was so excited. I had saved up, sold things I no longer loved or needed, I scrimped and saved every penny...birthday money, nickels found on the ground...lol I could not wait to get it. I thought, this is going to be a life changer for me....I love to blend things and I only wanted the best! It arrived,...
