That Deaf Dancer…

Dancing has saved my life. Period. I had been dancing for nearly 23 years. From that tiny basement to professional level. Yah, professional! That’s when it all finally paid off. Go me! Why, you say? Well duh. Growing up was not always easy. Countless days of bullying and taunting allowed me to be free inContinue reading “That Deaf Dancer…”

34

For the last two years, I would share wisdom I’ve learned on my birthday. ( Link to past wisdom 33 & 32 ) 2020 has been a roller coaster. I simply have no words for it. It’s taught me more patience and grace than the last two years. This year, we welcomed a beautiful babyContinue reading “34”

Tooth or Dare Podcast Feature

Listening/watching back, I forgot how much fun I had chatting with these sweet ladies. If you’re looking for some “beaming ear to ear” kind of story, then this is for you.

Favorite Eats in Fort Worth

We moved to the Fort Worth area in January 2019. We had no clue about the location or where to look. Since my husband and I love to explore and dine out locally, we decided to seek out social media using the hashtag #fortwortheats on Instagram. Since then, we’ve discovered a bunch of hotspots that’sContinue reading “Favorite Eats in Fort Worth”

Annie’s NICU Journey

Only the beginning. We learned of her defect at 16 weeks due to an abnormal bloodwork result. Followed by numerous doctor visits, sonograms, and a transfer to a children’s hospital post birth so she could have the best care possible. At 36 weeks and 3 days, Annie came into the world only to be whiskedContinue reading “Annie’s NICU Journey”

My Birth Journey | Omphalocele Awareness

Hello January 31st due date. While you came into the world 4 weeks earlier, it’s very fitting to write this in honor of Omphalocele Awareness Day. Justin and I went to his coaches’ holiday dinner January 5th. We had discussed taking our pups to doggy daycare for the next day to get them tired forContinue reading “My Birth Journey | Omphalocele Awareness”

2019 Recap

I have nothing but love for 2019. I look forward to 2020 with a lot of gratitude and hopes. First, Justin took up a job 1335 miles from home. We rang in 2019 in freezing Lake Placid, NY. We sold our country house in Virginia, packed up everything, and moved south to unknown territories. WeContinue reading “2019 Recap”

Staying Healthy During Pregnancy

I originally had this titled “Staying Fit”. I realized later into this pregnancy it’s really about mindset, staying healthy, adjusting movements, the power of sleep, etc. We won’t talk about muscle tone and abs. The weights are much lighter. There’s a ton of breathing. Everything you’ve worked so hard for previously is pretty much nonexistent.Continue reading “Staying Healthy During Pregnancy”

My Pregnancy Journey

Let’s rip off the bandaid. When it comes to private matters, it’s not so easy for me to share. I want to be vulnerable and share because it’s so humbling that most of you take the time to care about what’s going on in my life. I really appreciate the patience and support. We’ve beenContinue reading “My Pregnancy Journey”
