Today is the one-year anniversary of my diagnosis. The past week was filled with anxiety approaching this day. Seeing memories pop up on Facebook, things I posted happily on Instagram and reminders of my pre-cancer life have been bittersweet. That girl is gone. Knowing this day was coming up has been looming heavy on my […]
Wow, it’s Tuesday but it feels like Monday and my brain is still scrambled from the time change. That being said, I’m keeping it really light and sharing a super yummy recipe I made a few weeks back. This is a spin on my favorite spaghetti sauce / baked pasta recipe. Kind of a goulash, […]
How is it possible to love and loathe an age so much? Right now just might be the most confusing time in my parenting journey to date. Who else feels this way?
Happy Friday! It’s been a quick week over here – and I’m thankful for our quiet weekend coming up. The house could use a good cleaning, and I’m still not completely unpacked from Fargo, oops! I’ve got some really fun stuff in the works that I’ll tell you more about when it’s finalized but I’m […]

So here we go… Dane turned one yesterday! He entered the world at 5:38 am and weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces. He was 20 inches long and perfect. My heart melted the minute I held him in my arms and I was instantly in love. Labor wasn’t easy, but it’s crazy to think back on […]
Happy Bachelor Monday friends! Who else is a little peeved that ABC spoiled the surprise and told us who the next Bachelorette is? I took a few years off of this show, and for the past two seasons Casey and I have been totally hooked again. I am totally team Vanessa but I can’t help […]
I’ve been avoiding my blog for a while…. I’ve sat down to write so many times and couldn’t, because all I wanted to write about was something that wasn’t mine to share, yet. I felt a little like a fraud – posting happy things, and getting excited about the holidays when the truth was, while I […]
Okay, friends – I am SO excited to share that we got our family photos back and they are perfect. I scrolled through them, and couldn’t help but well up with tears, our baby looks like such a little boy in these! I don’t know how Sumner was able to capture so many of Dane’s […]
