Today is my 32nd birthday and if there’s anythin Today is my 32nd birthday and if there’s anything I’ve learned in my last year that I want to take with me into this year, it’s this:

I make my own magic 🪄

I am capable of creating, crafting, and designing this next chapter of life to be whatever I want. Infertility cannot stop me anymore. And I can’t wait.

Happy birthday to my ride-or-die and bff for life Happy birthday to my ride-or-die and bff for life @ericaligenza. To have her in your life means you have the most loyal, inspiring, and generous friend that you would ever ask for. I can’t believe that this little app brought us together (with our girl @blondeandambitiousblog) so many years ago. Grateful that they both turned out to be real people (lol) and women who have held me up during the hardest times of my adult life. 

Hope you have the best day, E! Counting down the days until we are together again! ❤️

We fix each other’s crowns instead of pointing o We fix each other’s crowns instead of pointing out they are crooked. 👑 

To the women to always have my back, who inspire me daily to level up, who cry with me, who cheer me on, who save a seat at the table for me, and who keep fighting the good fight - I love you. You keep my world vibrant, and keep me going on my hardest days. 

Happy International Women’s Day!

2021 felt like a dumpster fire that burned out of 2021 felt like a dumpster fire that burned out of control about 90% of the time. Between a cancer scare that resulted in countless scans and blood tests, failed infertility treatments that broke our hearts every time, no matter how much we tried not to get our hopes up, and then the devastating blow that I needed to have a total hysterectomy and thus ending any hopes we had of starting our family - I felt like my life and my hopes and my dreams for our future had been reduced to a pile of ash. 

It feels surreal, to be starting the new year feeling so grateful for where 2021 left me. For the first time in four years, I have energy, motivation, and can actually get out of bed without being in extreme pain. I can actually think beyond the next 24 hours and make plans that I can follow through on. My life doesn’t revolve around iron transfusions, cycle tracking, or the anxiety that comes with the two week wait. 

What’s been even more surreal is to be able to say that I have been finding more acceptance and purpose in our new childless future and life. If I can’t have the life I planned on, then I’m going to live the hell out of the life I have instead. Dustin and I are rebuilding our futures both separately and together, and for the first time in four years, I’m excited to see what comes next for us. I feel more steady in this new life and more sure of the path we’re on then ever before. 

For in order to rise from its own ashes, 
A phoenix must first burn. 

2021 burned me. 
So I’m 2022, I will rise.

Endlessly grateful for being 6 weeks post op from Endlessly grateful for being 6 weeks post op from my total hysterectomy and feeling more like myself than I have in over a year. And I’m endlessly grateful for this guy - who has been my rock through every doctor’s appointment, every procedure, and every day I couldn’t get out of bed. Not only that, he is the sweetest, most tender uncle to our nieces that I could ever hope or ask for to share our girls with.
Just grateful for my health and my love and the hope for better days.

Grateful to have you by my side as we walk into an unknown future that neither of us were prepared to face. But every day we walk further down our new road, I find more solid footing and more hope for what’s to come, because you keep me grounded through the waves of grief.

I love you. ❤️

I’m officially three weeks post hysterectomy tod I’m officially three weeks post hysterectomy today and was feeling well enough to shoot the holiday campaign photos for @shopmscb (with the help from my partner in crime, @kenzie_peach)

In fact, I told my surgeon last week at my first post-op appointment that I’m actually feeling the best I’ve felt ALL year. And I mean, that’s saying something since I was only two weeks post-op then, right? 

Even though the decision to go through with the hysterectomy felt impossibly hard to make, I know now that I made the right choice for me, my sanity, and my body. I feel more like me in the last week than I have in over a year. It’s like I’m waking up from a long, painful, dark hibernation and my world is starting to fill with vibrant colors again.

And even though I’m still sad it had to come to this, I am also feeling excited for what’s to come.

There’s been a little more laughter in our home There’s been a little more laughter in our home lately. Snuggles and kisses and staying up way too late watching Netflix. It’s like the worst is behind us and we’re on the other side of what we’ve been dreading and the darkness that has covered us for so long is starting to lift. It doesn’t mean we’re 100% okay, but we can feel the light and the hope for the future and we’re choosing to face it hand-in-hand, together. 

And every night, you whisper to me: “This isn’t your fault. You’re my best friend. I love you more today than ever before. We’re going to live a beautiful life together.” And every night, we grow a little bit closer and our hearts mend a little more, and I know deep in my bones, that we’re going to be okay.

I love you, Dustin.

Stitch Fix Review

One of my February Goals this month was to try a subscription box! I decided to give Stitch Fix a try because I just purged my closet of basically everything and wanted some new clothes. Stitch Fix is a pretty cool concept. Basically, you pay 20 dollars for each “Fix” and you can pick how frequently you want a Fix delivered (every month, every other month, or basically, whenever). You fill out a style profile, set a price range, link up your Pinterest boards and leave any notes to your stylist about what you are looking for. Each Fix comes with 5 pieces of clothes/accessories and you have three days to try them on and see what you like. Your original 20 dollars can be used as a credit towards anything you want to keep, and if you want to keep all five pieces, you get an additional 25% off. Anything you don’t want, you send back in a prepaid envelope!

I was really looking forward to my first Fix and it arrived really fast (about 5 days after I signed up). Each box comes with a note from your stylist and pictures of how to style each piece they sent you. This is what I got in my first fix!

Abrianna Longsleeve Knit Cardigan Jewel Tone Purple

Zad Loretta Spike Necklace-$28.00,The necklace is something I would never have picked out for myself, but I surprisingly liked it a lot! Abrianna Longsleeve Knit Cardigan in Jewel Tone Purple-$48.00, The Cardigan was a really pretty color and quality material. I specifically asked my stylist to include colors in my tops because I tend to gravitate to blacks and greys, so I was happy to see this color. Mavi Hiedi Jean in Black – $98.00. The jeans fit really well, but were too expensive for what I had asked for.

Tomson Mixed Material Top // Life with Rosie #stitchfix

 

Tomson Mixed Material Top – $54.00. While I liked the concept of the colors and patterns, this top was way too short for me. I have a long midriff and without an undershirt, this would have shown off three inches of my belly! I can’t imagine what would happen if I had to lift my arms up for something!

Thompson Cross Front Blouse in Navy // Life with Rosie #stitchfix #fashion

 

Thomson Cross Front Blouse in Navy – $68.00. Once again, I really liked the concept of this top, but it was a little too short on my torso for me. It was also above the price range I had asked for, so that was a bummer.

While it was super fun to get a package in the mail, I was a little disappointed in my first fix overall. I felt like my stylist listened to what I said about color, but didn’t pay attention to the price range I wanted to stay in. I decided to keep the necklace, because my 20 dollar credit makes it only an additional eight dollars. I really like it, surprisingly!

I think I will try another fix in a month or two, when the weather is warmer. This wasn’t a terrible experience, I just think I need to be even more specific in my notes to my stylist about what I am looking for!

If you want to try Stitch Fix, you can sign up using my referral link (I get some money to put towards my next fix to blog about!).

Have you tried Stitch Fix? Was it a good experience? What do you think about my first Fix?
