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…”

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.

I can’t wait to hear my husband groan through it and laugh again. It’s quite enjoyable watching him suffer through a “chick flick”. Okay enough of that. Can we talk aboutContinue reading “Highlights from New Orleans”

Dairy-Free Berry Protein Ice Cream

When I first received an ice cream maker as a gift last year, I became obsessed with it and made every flavor in the book. Even a raspberry Merlot sorbet! Yes, with real wine! Then, I learned of my Leaky Gut issue and decided to take things back a notch immediately. It’s in the middleContinue reading “Dairy-Free Berry Protein Ice Cream”

5 Things For 5 Years

Can someone pinch me? It’s been 5 years since we said “I do”. I’ve grown up so much since we met at 22, him at 28. I’ve learned so much and respect him even more as I get older. We bought two homes, I went back to school full time while working full and partContinue reading “5 Things For 5 Years”
