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

Breakfast 🥞: @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 🍽 : @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 ☕️: @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.

Teddy takes his job as @shopmscb chief executive d Teddy takes his job as @shopmscb chief executive doggo very seriously. 🤣 

It is a dream come true to be able to take him to work with me every week and to see him become a confident little warehouse dog who takes greeting everyone who comes in very seriously and who patiently lets us dress him up in accessories. When you shop from MSC, you are now supporting a family owned, women run small business AND a cute doodle! It’s a win-win!

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: “don’t give up - you’ll get your baby someday!” 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.

November Goals

November Blog Goals // Life with Rosie

October was an amazing month and lived up to all the expectations I had for it. As much as I loved it, I’m so excited that it’s November and that it’s FINALLY acceptable for me to play my Christmas music! O Holy Night, I’m coming for you!

In all seriousness, October was a killer month for me and LWR. I was able to hit and exceed so many blog goals that has left me so totally baffled at what I’ve been able to accomplish. It’s been humbling to see what hard work and putting so much time and effort into something that I love without the assurance that it will work out can do. I have a dream and October showed me that I am capable of making it come true! #GIRLPOWER

October Goal Report:

Blog/Get to 1K followers on Pinterest – Done! I also really stepped up my Pinterest game this month and have seen some great results so hooray!
Blog/Celebrate my 6 month blogiversary-Done! I unveiled the new design for LWR, threw a great giveaway (Congrats, Emily!) and had some great bloggers contribute to an advice sharing post!
Read/3 Books- Fail. I don’t want to talk about it
Personal/Cook 5 meals a week-This was pretty much a success; I think I missed a few nights but we cooked and ate at home most of the time!
Personal/Take Rosie to dog park 3x a week until we make a friend- Check! We have gone to the dog park 4-5 times a week! Rosie has made some doggy friends and Dustin and I are starting to make some friends, too!

November Goals:

Blog/Maintain page views-I had an amazing month in growing my blog and ended the month at 14k page views! I never thought I would break 10K, so I’m so grateful and excited to see goals that I thought were unattainable being reached. It motivates me to keep pushing and shows me that I am capable of reaching my goals! I hope that November, I can hit 10K again!
Blog/Instagram Plan-create a plan and follow through with it for the month; track progress. I had the realization that I am approaching my Instagram game completely wrong and it’s not doing me any favors in growing my brand. I have spent the last couple weeks studying Instagram feeds of people I admire and writing down trends/common threads and tweaking my Instagram feed to reflect those. In the last week since I’ve done this, I’ve gained 120 followers organically! I don’t know if this is a fluke or if the changes I’m making are actually working, but I’m going to stick to the plan for the whole month and see how it goes!
Blog/Share the Wealth-I never ever thought of myself as an entrepreneur or someone remotely capable of making her own income and working for herself. I always thought I would get a degree and teach English until we had kids. It blows my mind that I am actually working for myself and making a small, but significant income off of my blog. I want others who have dreams like I do to know that it IS possible to live the #girlboss dream. I know I’m not super experienced in being a professional blogger, but I have made my fair share of errors and mistakes and discovers some blog hacks and tips along the way. I want to share that with anyone who wants to know and have a few projects in the works to start that.
Personal/Schedule-Be better about scheduling my day-Sometimes working from home is awesome and sometimes I let it become an excuse to watch Netflix and scroll through Instagram feeds for far to long. I want to work this month on being more intentional with my time; including getting up and getting ready for the day first thing in the morning and only taking a nap if I hit all my goals during the morning.
Personal/-be intentional about purchases-So, a couple days into October, I decided that I wanted to go on a no-spend for makeup. I love makeup and collecting it, but I realized I was buying a ton of makeup and not thinking about where else I could put my money. With the support from my Passion Project admins, I was able to make it through the whole month with only buying new eyelash glue and a few new eyeliners from Colour Pop (a record 35 dollars totally spent in makeup). It really opened my eyes to how much I spend without planning and as a #girlboss in charge of all my own finances, I need to be more intentional with my spending, which basically means less impulse trips to Target.
Those are my goals for November; not as many as usual but enough to keep me busy. This is my favorite time of year and I plan on enjoying all the Christmas music possible and all the baking and pine-scented candles.
What are your goals this month? How did October turn out for you? Are you listening to your Christmas music yet?
