The Last Post...

Yes, you read the title of this post correctly... this is it.

After a decade blogging about PCOS, TTC, pregnancy, unexpected postpartum complications and 19 months of motherhood it is time to move and close this book.

Mother’s Day – Turning Over A New Leaf

"I remember everything that you forgot."

Historically speaking, Mother’s Day has always been difficult for me; an internal struggle of sorts.
As I wrote last year, the first time as a Mom myself, this Hallmark holiday has always served as an unwelcome reminder to me of the numerous strained mother-daughter relationships I have, leaving me with little desire to celebrate.

Well, even though I am spending Mother’s Day weekend as a work widow again (does anyone else see the irony?), I am turning over a new leaf! 

Happy (Belated) New Year!

It has been more than a month that I haven’t posted anything! They say that time flies when you’re having fun, but guess what? It flies when you’re not too!

Let’s just say 2017 has not been a great year for health so far…

Merry Christmas

Good morning everyone!

May the holiday season sparkle and shine, and may all of your wishes and dreams come true!
During the rush of the holidays, don't forget to take time to enjoy the little things that really matter!

Elf On The Shelf

Facebook “memories” made me laugh today!

This morning, it reminded me of an old post stating how much I disliked the whole “Elf on the Shelf” phenomenon and how I’m pretty sure the parents just bought the creepy little elves for themselves! Flash forward to last weekend and, I admit it, I’ve taken “Elf on the Shelf” to a whole other level!

We don’t have the creepy little guy; no, no, no… we have a CUSTOM elf on the shelf! And not just one, but two!!!

Father's Day

Just a quick post to say Happy First Father's Day to the best Daddy out there! Mommy and baby love you very much!

First Mother’s Day

"Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while,
but their hearts forever."

Yup, I’m a Mom now and I still hate Mother’s Day. Surprised?

Ok, maybe hate is a strong word, but I certainly am averse to it. For as long as I can remember I have never really enjoyed this Hallmark holiday. I thought things would change once I had a child of my own but, like most holidays, I am not looking forward to it at all… even if it is my first.

All I Want For Christmas, I Have...

The holidays have been difficult for me for many years; they just aren't what they used to be when I was growing up. Being on the adult side of the holidays, they seem to be all about planning and obligations rather than magic and wonder... but this year is different.

I am still having mild anxiety about things in general, but the Holidays aren't really getting to me as much. And I think I know why...

Happy Valentine's Day

Those of you who know me well know that I am not that big on certain holidays; Valentine's Day being one of them. But this year, I don't know... I am actually somewhat into it!
