I hate to admit this, but I had high expectations for getting pregnant once we moved away from the stress of Los Angeles and up into the serene mountains nearly a year ago now. And you know where expectations lead us : to unsatisfied minds and unhappy souls. As each month passed without conception, just …
I’m feeling creative again for the first time in a really long time and it feels so good. Not that all creativity has vanished as I have completed some projects, taken on and accepted new jobs, as well as the ongoing, but ever slow process of decorating and finishing the house we’ve lived in for …
Yup, another boring post about infertility and not being able to get pregnant and have children. Statistics show that I usually have a Winter and a Summer edition, so I’m just about on schedule with this one. In other news, I wonder how many people began following my blog years ago just to see if …
Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Also, if you see any you like, they may be for sale at Instacanv.as. You can email me if you don’t see one that you like and I’ll make it available. Baby shoes… because, baby feet. The husband’s family came up to visit this …
In the midst of all the commotion in our lives at the moment, we constantly find ourselves trying not to become too attached to outcomes. At the moment, this thinking mostly revolves around not only the close of escrow of our possible new house in Lake Arrowhead but also getting attached to the “idea” of …
When I was in my early twenties, I had an older girlfriend who suffered from Endometriosis. She often had horrendously painful periods and would go into hiding those times of the month. But since she also had a flair for the dramatic, we all were pretty dismissive of her disease and brushed it off. Ten …
Our pug, Bebop Pugman, is eleven years old now and for the last 3 years or so he’s been having trouble walking due to nerve damage in his lower back. Though he’d drag his legs and bloody up the tops of his paws on occasion or fall down while he was trying to pee, he’s …
My husband and I eloped and got married in 2006 and just about a year later we stopped trying NOT to get pregnant. We were both 31 years old at the time and we decided it was time to start “trying” to have a baby. Now, let me start by saying that I have a …
What I’m Wearing… * Swallow print dress in navy c/o Line and Dot ~ I love this dress. It’s light and comfy and flattering on days when I’m feeling like I don’t want anything touching my skin {i.e. pms} HOWEVER, the waist tie/sash/bow in the same print blends into the dress appearing like I have …
I’m a bit of a magazine hoarder. I cannot toss one out for years and even then, I have to flip through it, tear out any possible inspiration and then I’ll recycle what is left, usually only ads and the spine. But years and years later and even then, I don’t always determine that it’s …
It’s funny and adorable and strange and amazing to see my younger brother with his 2-1/2 year old daughter, my niece, Delilah. Funny because the six year age difference between he and I {I’m older} definitely had me convinced that I’d have kids first. Adorable, well, for obvious reasons. Strange, because he’s still my “little” …
