March is full of new life as blossoms burst all around us.  After waiting 13 years for our first baby I am so aware of the community that I have come to know over the years. Women who long to hold a baby of their own (bio or adopted). We’ve built some deep friendships and […]

October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. My thoughts have felt like a jumbled puzzle and it took me until the last day to finally sit down and write out a few things I’ve learnt over the years and felt the last few months.

We are overjoyed to share we are expecting a baby this December. We feel so humbled to carry this incredible gift and pray everyday for a safe arrival and wisdom.

For several years I had it on my heart to host a ladies event to encourage woman who struggle with infertility. Last year my dream came to fruition and this year we had the honor of hosting our second event. I couldn’t do this without the support and help of my twin sister, Jolene. After […]
