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.

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.

Stitch Fix Unboxing & Try-on: January 2017

Well, it’s been a hot second since I got myself a Stitch Fix, but since I always get so bummed after Christmas (because no more Christmas music) I decided I would treat myself to a fix this month. I think the last fix I got was in August and I didn’t even blog about it. The last fix I think I shared was back in March of last year, and that was my best fix to date! This one was…not my favorite, but it was fun to get a package in the mail and to see all the things my stylist picked out!

In case you haven’t heard of Stitch Fix, it’s a pretty fun clothing subscription service. You fill out a style profile and link up a Pinterest board to clothes you like. You pay a $20 dollar styling fee and can write a note with any special requests for specific clothing you may be looking for. A stylist picks out 5 items of clothing and accessories and sends them to you! You have 3 days to try them on in the comfort of your home and then you mail back whatever you don’t like in a prepaid envelope and keep what you do like! The $20 dollar styling fee goes towards anything you want to keep!

Since I just got my stunning leather jacket a couple weeks ago, I specially requested my stylist to send me tops I could wear with it. I also was SUPER jealous of Jenn’s clutch that she got in one of her recent fixes, so I requested that, as well.

As a note – my stylist left me such a sweet note. She felt bad that she couldn’t send me some of the things I was looking for due to them not having them at headquarters currently, but mentioned that she loved my blog! How sweet! So, I totally appreciated that from her, and will definitely request her when I decide to get another fix.

Stitch Fix Unboxing & Try-On:

Palermo Stitch Detail Clutch – $38.00 – My stylist didn’t have the same clutch that Jenn got in her fix, but sent me this one instead. I REALLY love that this is is a bag and not a clutch and that the chain strap makes the bag fancier and edgier all at once. The color is super unique and I’m a fan of the woven details and tassel. I think this will pair really well with my new moto jacket, especially when I am dressing it up! I’m leaning towards keeping this!

Caelan Lace Back Detail Top – $64.00 – This is probably my least favorite item in the fix – I’m not a huge flannel person to begin with and the proportions seemed off on my body. It just fell shorter on my torso and I felt like the sleeves were baggier…I dunno, the fit overall was just #badnewsbears. I did like the pretty lace detail in the back, but overall, this is definitely going back, especially at that price.

Ellisen Cross Front Knit Top – $44.00 – This was the top I was most excited about, and even though I’m still undecided about it, I think I’m going to return it. I love the style and the color of this top, and it was super soft! Plus, I could see how it would pair well with my moto jacket. But, as you can see from the pictures, this top is a bit see-through when actually on my body. Also, it seemed a little short on my torso again. So, sadly, I’m going to be sending this back.

Evie Draw String Funnel Neck Sweatshirt – $64.00 – Okay, I’m torn on this, too. At first, I was pretty bummed out about it because it seemed pretty bland. But, I liked it a lot more after I put it on, and I can see it looking really great under my leather jacket. It is a bit more on the pricier side, but I can see me wearing this a lot for the rest of winter and into spring. Thoughts?

Joella Pleater Mixed Material Pullover – $68.00 – So, the concept of this top is SO cute, but this was WAY too small for my chest and torso. The bust line came across the middle of my bra, so it was really tight across my chest. And the sweater part was so short on my torso (I’m sensing a trend) and the sleeves were not long enough on my arms at all. Ugh. Back it goes.

Okay, so, like I said, not my best fix, but I think there was some potential. I still haven’t sent anything back, so I’d love to know your opinions. Should I keep the sweatshirt? The clutch? HALP!
