Bend- you exceeded every expectation. Save for Ben Bend- you exceeded every expectation. Save for Bend, OR favorites:

Breakfast šŸ„ž: @sparrowbakery - their French toast sticks are divine and their pasties are literal art. We ate here twice during our stay and would recommend it over and over again! 

Dinner šŸ½ : @bendbrewingco - Fried cheese curds, fresh and flakey fish and chips and amazing burgers, with beautiful patio seating right on the River. Plus everything was reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend. 

Coffee Shop ā˜•ļø: @dudleysbookshopbend - the CUTEST bookstore/coffee shop combo. Grab a cup of coffee or cocoa and a book all in one stop.

Entertainment: Catch live music and play golf in a state-of-the-art golf simulator at @waltreillysbend and grab a late night snack while you’re at it!

Adventures: Explore Lava River Cave and hike to Tumalo Falls! Both are great adventures and not too intense of hikes - Tumalo Falls is a trail with several waterfalls featured in the above reel!

Bend was a dreamy slice of heaven and we cannot wait to go back - it’s the most delicious little town in a dreamy setting.

Turns out that life after infertility doesn’t ha Turns out that life after infertility doesn’t have to be all doom and devastation. It’s not always easy, but we’re finding more joy and beauty in just living and exploring and taking advantage of all the time and freedom this new chapter of life has to offer us. 

Our week in the Oregon Wilderness has given me so much life, so much clarity, and so much energy for creating a life that I love. I realized I have so much to give, so much to do, and so much to be, even if I don’t have children or a family the way I thought I would. 

I do have a family. And I do have Littles to still leave a legacy behind for - and an example to set for. And that’s enough for me.

Dustin has never given up or given in on creating Dustin has never given up or given in on creating a beautiful life together after our journey to have children ended last year. Instead, he has thrown himself into finding the next chapter of our story and I’ve been hanging on to him for dear life as he ran full force into our new future. 

After working so hard for so long, he signed and closed on a darling house in The Poconos, Pennsylvania that we will be turning into an air bnb this summer (and vacationing in it ourselves in the fall) 🄳

If you would have told me last October as we went through with my hysterectomy that we would have a vacation home in the East to spend the next October in, I would have laughed in your face. I’ve never doubted Dustin, but it seemed impossible to think about moving forward with new dreams and goals after our journey to have kids came to a crashing hault. 

But here we are - creating a life we love and doing our best to make the most out of the cards we’ve been dealt. 

I can’t wait to take you all on this new adventure (because guess who is in charge of furnishing and managing the new air bnb?) 

Thank you for always cheering us on. We love you.

We have to change the narrative around those going We have to change the narrative around those going through infertility journeys. We have to stop saying: ā€œdon’t give up - you’ll get your baby someday!ā€ It’s doing a lot of unspoken damage to those of us in the throes of infertility. 

I understand that many say this to be positive and uplifting, but when we were faced with making a heartbreaking choice to end our infertility journey, I felt like I was giving up. Instead of confidently making a decision to remove the organ that was slowly killing me, I looked at other infertility accounts and saw the repeated message that if I kept on pushing through treatments, i too, would get my baby. I felt selfish and unsure that putting my health first was truly the right thing to do. There was almost nothing out there to help us find peace and validation in ending our infertility journey without feeling like massive failures.

I have felt so called to speak on this now that we’re in this next phase of life and to do my best to share a perspective I wish I had access to last year. I hope that by speaking up and sharing our life in this next chapter, we can help those who are looking for hope in moving on from infertility without a pregnancy or baby. 

If you are reaching the end of your journey, I want you to know that you are not giving up. You are not a failure. You are choosing to not let infertility destroy you. 

It’s okay to grieve the life you wanted, but I want you to know you can still build a life you love. 

You are not giving up.

40 Beauty Products to Try in 2018

*affiliate links I love seeing everyone's "best of beauty 2017" posts, but every time I read one, I find myself thinking that since those products came out in 2017, I shouldn't spend money on them since something better is bound to be released in 2018. I realize that isn't really a logical thought pattern because it takes me months of trying out a product before I feel comfortable recommending it to you all. That being said, I wanted to share my top 40 beauty products that I TRULY tested out through 2017 and that I feel 100% comfortable recommending to you. Some of these products were sent to me in PR, most of them I bought myself, and I truly feel like I've got . . .

21 Day Positivity Challenge (& How it Changed My Life)

This post has been sponsored by theĀ PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own. It's no secret that I've been on a journey (a long one, at that) to learning how to love myself and my body again. For a long time, I felt very pretty dang betrayed by my body and had a very hard time coming to grips with the fact that it would never be the same again. Cancer has a funny way of staying with you like that, even 11 years later. October is a rough month for me - it's the month I celebrate my remission anniversary, but it is also the month I lost one of my closest friends from my hospital floor, Maddie. To say that the survivor's guilt is heavy is an understatement.Ā So, as . . .

3 Ways to Reduce Adult Acne with Zapzyt

This post has been sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own I know I've talked about this before, but over the last year and a half, my skin has done a complete 360 turn on me and it's been super frustrating, to say the least. I very rarely had to deal with acne besides the occasional little pimple, but ever since our move to Louisiana, my skin has just thrown a fit about pretty much everything. I've been dealing with a lot of painful, cystic acne, uneven skin tone, and texture. It's definitely been a shot to my confidence at times and really frustrating because I haven't been able to fix it overnight. However, over the last 6 months, I have . . .

My Journey to Becoming Healthier: The Beginning

  When I was going through the process of being diagnosed, the one thing that my dad kept saying to EVERY doctor we saw was: ā€œBesides her leg hurting, she is as healthy as a horse!ā€ It was a little annoying to hear him say repeatedly because clearly, something was wrong with my leg. But, looking back at it now, I don't blame him because he was right. Because, back before cancer entered my life and tore apart my body, I was pretty dang fit. I was almost 16 years old, I was an active soccer player and marching in the high school band every weekend. I ate relatively well, I could run a fast mile, I was at a decent weight, and I rarely got sick. I was pretty dang . . .

Worth the Hype? BeBe & Bella Skincare

This post has been sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own A few months ago, when I was in the midst of my major skin meltdown and not getting the results I wanted with just my skincare, I decided to try something different. I decided to cut out as much excess sugar as possible from my diet for two weeks and only drink water. I thought that maybe my skin issues went deeper than the surface and that maybe what I was putting into my body was contributing to the painful cystic spots I had all over my face. Sure enough, after two weeks of no cookies, candy, and soda, my face started to clear up. I knew then that I needed to start taking better . . .
