Birth Story | Baby M

December 8, 2017 · LIFE, PREGNANCY · 8 Comments

I can’t believe I’m finally writing out her birth story, it’s been such a surreal thing to wrap my mind around. Our baby is finally here and we’re just over the moon with her.

She’ll make a month in just one week and I just wasn’t prepared for how quickly time would fly with our little

Laboring was nothing like I imagined, which fit perfectly into our “go with flow” birth plan (aka our birth plan was to have a safe delivery, healthy mama and baby).

Baby M was born on Tuesday, November 14th at 12:23 AM. Weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz. [Read more…]

random thoughts | being pregnant in europe

October 20, 2017 · LIFE, PREGNANCY, RANDOM THOUGHTS · 12 Comments

Yesterday, we just reached 36 weeks in this pregnancy and it’s constantly crossing my mind how close we are til her due date. Time has seriously flown by and we’re rather eager to have our little girl in our lives. If you’ve been following along my journey, you know how interested and fascinated I’ve been with my prenatal care while in Europe. For the most part, it’s definitely different than what I would receive in the U.S. And as we get closer, things keep popping up in my head to talk about on the blog, so that’s where we are today.

Olmsted Series | Dog Health Screening + Flying with Pets

June 15, 2017 · LIFE · 7 Comments

After revising what I intended to write for my Olmsted Series, I’m going to pass on a couple of topics and combine some into a post. Originally, I was going to have an entire post dedicated to dental screening, but it’s a pretty straight-forward process. Just have a check-up with your dentist and have them sign page 3 of the NAVMED 1300/1. See, easy-peasy!

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. This one’s a lengthy one, but we’ve learned so much from this stressful process. And I think we’re better prepared for when we have to head back to the States. [Read more…]

Life | Hey, Long Time No See!

June 8, 2017 · LIFE · 8 Comments

Ah yes, it has been quite the long time since I’ve been here. Pretty much the past few posts have a similar line in the beginning. My hope is to get back into blogging regularly, an overseas PCS has completely taken over my life and the feeling of being settled hasn’t hit us and probably won’t for at least a couple more months.

Life | Lately : Happy New Year !

January 5, 2017 · LIFE · 7 Comments

A life lately post, since you know, I haven’t done enough of those in the past few months. I can’t say that I’m back for good, but I knew it was overdue to put a post up. And that’s where I am. It’s clear that these elusive monthly goals I tried doing are non-existent and that’s just gonna have to be okay for right now. [Read more…]

#GOALS | November

November 2, 2016 · GOALS, LIFE · 5 Comments

I promise, you’ll be seeing those road trip posts soon … like this Friday! My little DIY project (a desk) has finished and I had it in my mind that I needed to have it in order to do anything blog related. It’s very silly, but it sure did convince me.

Now that my desk is all put together and I’m slowly putting my “office” together, I feel more settled into our apartment. Like I said, it’s very silly, but it’s really the little things that make things feel like a home. [Read more…]

#Goals | Mid-October

October 19, 2016 · LIFE · 6 Comments

Before I jump into sharing my adventure posts, I wanted to give a little update (yet again, it’s been a month) and get back into the swing of things with monthly goal-setting.

I use to share my monthly goals for some time, but just like many things, I just let it slip away. So here I am getting back into it! [Read more…]

Life | I’m back … A Little Update

September 14, 2016 · LIFE · 7 Comments

I’m back … and I have no idea where to even begin. I suppose there’s so much to share, so this will definitely be a ramble of things. [Read more…]

My Experience | Outdoor Boudoir Sesh

June 28, 2016 · LIFE · 18 Comments

After putting together my post about booking a boudoir shoot, I knew that I just had to talk about my experience with doing an outdoor boudoir shoot. Since I’ve done two so far, they’ve been extremely fun for me to do. Anything to play dress up and get pretty pictures taken of you; I’m on board! [Read more…]

Life | Boudoir Shoot

June 21, 2016 · LIFE · 16 Comments

Oh yes, we’re talking about Boudoir Shoots and why everyone should do it at least once in their life. I remember Kait over at Communikait blogging about why you should book a boudoir session.
