Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month: 2 Reasons Why You’ll Never Forget Your Babies
It’s Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, so be sure to visit the resources page for support and ideas throughout the month! One thing I worried about when I had my rainbow baby was that I would eventually forget or stop caring about the babies I lost to miscarriage. And while that certainly hasn’t happened, life is busier now. This means that I don’t always remember significant dates or take as much time to reflect on the losses and the what-ifs. Especially after 5 pregnancies, a lot of the details start to blur together. I don’t talk about the babies we lost as much as I used to, and I…

34 Essential Whole30 Staples to Make Life Easier
What Is Whole30? Welcome to this list of my favorite Whole30 staples! You might be wondering what exactly is Whole30. Whole30 is a 30-day reset that focuses on eating delicious whole foods. Several types of foods are eliminated during the reset, but they are reintroduced after 30 days. The purpose of Whole30 is to reset sugar cravings and unhelpful food habits, and learn what foods might be causing issues for you. You can find everything you need to know about the Whole30 here – from the rules to shopping lists, recipes, to a calendar. Are you joining the September Whole30? Let me know in the comments!

22 Helpful Miscarriage Support Items
Although approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss, going through a miscarriage is not something that anyone really expects to do. It’s beyond time that miscarriage care is normalized. These are just a few miscarriage support items that are good to have in case of, during, and after a miscarriage. Depending on the type of miscarriage (missed miscarriage or spontaneous), you may or may not have time to gather what you need, so it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. If you’re finding this page because you’re currently going through a miscarriage, I’m so sorry. It’s an incredibly unfair and difficult thing to go through. My hope is this list…

A letter to myself, in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month
It’s Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and I’m feeling the need to reflect on my journey. Now that I’m on the other side of pregnancy loss, I have so much sympathy and gratitude for the version of me who survived it. A letter to myself for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. To the version of myself going through recurrent miscarriages: Let me just cut to the ending, because I know you can’t stand the suspense (if this were a movie, you’d be googling the plot by now): you have a son! He’s healthy, he’s alive… He’s here. Now that you know how this ends, let’s go back to…

Day 31. (whole30 updates)
It’s day 31! Final Whole30 Updates I have so much I want to share about my second round of whole30, but I don’t think it will all fit in one post. There have been non-scale victories, scale victories, habits transformed, and so much less stress when it comes to food. Honestly, though, all of the “results” are still in progress. I finished the 30 days, and have begun the reintroduction process (which will take another 2 weeks). Beyond that is a lifelong process of intuitive eating and food freedom. I guess I’m not sure how to update and share results, because honestly there’s not really a conclusion. At least not…
