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.

20 Quotes to Inspire you to Live a Vibrant Life

PR Samples: I was given pieces c/o Mo & Cho in exchange for styling.

20 Quotes to Inspire You to live a Vibrant Life! We all have pasts and fears that prevent us from going out and living a full and vibrant life at times. This collection of quotes will inspire you to put your back to your fears and live your life as vibrantly and fully as possible! // Hey There, Chelsie

 

Do you ever read something that hits you out of nowhere and completely changes your perspective on life? That happened to me a few days ago when I read a quote on Instagram that said: “you weren’t born to just pay the bills and die.” Woah. It was so simple but so profound. Lately, Dustin and I have been so focused on paying off debt, saving up money and making some big purchases. I didn’t realize that lately, my life has turned into the same predictable pattern of waking up, taking care of Rosie and Cooper, watching Netflix and making sure Dustin has a dinner to come home to. I’ve been too worried about my past and not focusing on the present or the future. But I read that quote and realized that I needed to change my life around. There is more to me and the life I have then just going through the motions, paying the bills, and dying! I want to be deserving of my second chance at life, and I want to live it as vibrantly as possible. So, I rounded up 20 inspiring quotes today to share that I hope will encourage and inspire you to live a vibrant life as well.

Also, I got to collaborate with the AMAZINGLY talented Whitney Majors and am so impressed with her skill behind the lens. Also, I just adore her in general. Make sure you check out her Facebook Page here!

Quotes to Inspire You to Live a Vibrant Life:

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist” -Oscar Wilde

“You weren’t born to just pay the bills and die.”

“Cherish the solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.” -Even Ensler

“The world is too big to stay in just one place and life is too short to do just one thing.”

“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”

“Live in the moment and make life so beautiful that it will be worth remembering”

“It is in all of us to defy expectations, to go into the world and be brave, and to want, to need, to hunger for adventure, to embrace change and chance and risk, so that we may breathe and know what it is like to be free”

“Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than absorbing the frequencies around you when you start imprinting your intent on the universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence.”

This collection of quotes will inspire you to put your back to your fears and live your life as vibrantly and fully as possible! // Hey There, Chelsie - Photo By Whitney Major's Photography

“Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor” -Rumi

“We’re all susceptible to it, the dread and anxiety of not knowing what’s coming. It’s pointless in the end, because all the worrying and the making of plans for things that could or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog or take a nap. Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia is to be here, just as you are.”

“Don’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 15. Follow your own path, write your own life story, and never give up on yourself.”

“To me, a rich and satisfying life means one full of contrast. Give me sleep ins. And soft rains. Coffee shops and conversations. But also adrenaline and adventure. And drunken bellows to the stars. I am determined to embrace this extravagant life for all that it has to offer.”

“At any given moment, you have the power to say: this is not how my story is going to end.”

” He said ‘One life on this earth is all we get, whether it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can.'” -Frederick Buechner

“Every morning you have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them.”

“Maybe life isn’t about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it’s about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it.”

“So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.”

This collection of quotes will inspire you to put your back to your fears and live your life as vibrantly and fully as possible! // Hey There, Chelsie - Photo by Whitney Major's Photography

“For what it’s worth, it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald.

“None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after-thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth you are carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.” -Nanea Hoffman

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.
