What I’m Wearing… * Vintage Modern Western Dress in Canyon Rose… This was another look I shot for Lee’s holiday campaign. Mine is a little big, so I’d definitely order your true size or even size down if you want a more fitted look. It’s on Sale right now too and available in 4 different …
What I’m Wearing… * SKIMS plunge triangle black bralette, which is more comfortable than I would have imagined and perfect for layering under winter clothes without feeling like you’re wearing a an actual bra BUT with some actual support, unlike many of the blalettes I’ve tried in the past. * Vintage oversized cardigan sweater – …
In the last ten years or so, I’ve talked more about my fertility issues than I have my endometriosis and I thought since March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and we have a few days of March left, that it was a good time to touch on it… especially considering my fertility issues are directly related …
I started talking about my fertility and subsequent INfertility journey right here on this blog about ten years ago – before I even knew I was actually talking about it. It began with what I thought was going to be a routine checkup by a new doctor back in April 2007 (4 months before I …

There are a few times throughout the year where my yearning for a baby, my desire to experience pregnancy, and my desperation to be a mother hit extremely hard. Mother’s Day and my birthday are close in proximity and are both HUGE triggers of my baby fever, usually leaving me feeling blue for the month …
From the time a girl is supposed to start seeing a gynecologist, I have been. Year after year, I diligently went to either a gynecologist, my general practitioner, or a nurse practitioner for my checkup and always left with a clean bill of health. My pap smears always came back “normal”. In 2007, at the …
My story shouldn’t offend you if you’ve got differing opinions, nor should you take it personally or as a personal attack on the opposite side of the realm. What it is meant to do, besides help clear up some clutter in my own mind, is offer a little calm to those, who like me, are …
I hate to admit this, but I had high expectations for getting pregnant once we moved away from the stress of Los Angeles and up into the serene mountains nearly a year ago now. And you know where expectations lead us : to unsatisfied minds and unhappy souls. As each month passed without conception, just …
Yup, another boring post about infertility and not being able to get pregnant and have children. Statistics show that I usually have a Winter and a Summer edition, so I’m just about on schedule with this one. In other news, I wonder how many people began following my blog years ago just to see if …
I don’t often accept books for review mostly because I don’t prioritize reading time, but I couldn’t say no to this one. At the beginning of the year I resolved to read one book a month and when I received the email offering a signed copy of To Sing Frogs, a Memoir about family and …
Sometimes… everything I am and everything I do is just a distraction to keep my mind from the darkness. It’s not that it doesn’t work, because it does. I stay busy. I focus on how to grow my business, how to create art, how to feed my passionate soul, how to be happy, and in …
When I was in my early twenties, I had an older girlfriend who suffered from Endometriosis. She often had horrendously painful periods and would go into hiding those times of the month. But since she also had a flair for the dramatic, we all were pretty dismissive of her disease and brushed it off. Ten …
My husband and I eloped and got married in 2006 and just about a year later we stopped trying NOT to get pregnant. We were both 31 years old at the time and we decided it was time to start “trying” to have a baby. Now, let me start by saying that I have a …
