It’s World Childless Week and also another remin

It’s World Childless Week and also another reminder that just because things don’t go as planned with having children, doesn’t mean that you still can’t be, find, or create your own happiness!

While our infertility journey was shorter than others, it still came with the same heartache. I have worked really hard to over come the negative feelings regarding our childfree life.

Is every day easy? No.
Do I still think about the what ifs? Of course.
Am I happy and content with my life? ABSOLUTELY.

I was chatting with a friend last night about all of this and we realized just how much we had been through and fought through to get where we are with our lives.

And we may be childfree NOT by choice, but we ARE CHOOSING to happily live that life.

We don’t need your pity or your opinions on what we could have/should have done.

We just want to be seen. And heard. And for people to realize that just because we went on this journey and never got a baby, doesn’t mean we are bitter and sad about our lives.

Our lives are just a fulfilled as those who do have children. Just in a different way.

And I wouldn’t change it for anything.

✨august slipped away into a moment in time✨

Kicked it off with fireworks at Magic Kingdom.

Moved onto @dashboardconfessional and @countingcrows

Drove up to Myrtle Beach to visit the fam. And a quick stop in Savannah to have dinner @husksavannah.

Wrapped up with @interpol and @smashingpumpkins

What a month of randomness and so much fun. Thankful for a life that allows us to do some much 💜

Ready for a spooky season 👻🎃💀

💜Remember this moment💜

It's taken me a week to finally post from the most EPIC night.

We took the time off.
We booked our hotel.
We booked the rental car.
We booked the flight.
But never had tickets... until Friday afternoon.

Then we spent the night with Taylor Swift.

I tried some speciality cocktails, we traded friendship bracelets, sang the bridge to Cruel Summer, got a new Enchanted dress and LONG LIVE, watched TS do some witchy shit, got up I'm my feels during ATW, Chad had his moment during 22, watched the world premiere of the I Can See You music video, and vibed in the Midnights Era.

It was the perfect night.

While this may be the start of National Infertilit

While this may be the start of National Infertility Awareness Week and you will see a ton of positive “never give up” and “I got my miracle” posts, I hope my “we never got our baby and I am happy” post finds its way to some people’s feed!

It’s still a weird week because my life now is not the same life I lived during infertility.

I am not the same person I was then.

Then, I never dreamed that we would be childfree not by choice. Now, it’s hard to imagine children fitting into our life.

Then, I stressed about every little detail of my life because it revolves around doctors appointments, ultrasounds, medications and sex. Now, I stress about what to pack on vacation and when our next date night will be.

I remember how I felt during those years and what a dark place it was for me….the sadness, the anger. And I also remember making the decision to have my hysterectomy..and I felt peace and calm.

Life is wild.

So, I’m just here to remind all those in the midst of infertility, IT’S OK to walk away. It’s ok to end your journey without a baby. It’s ok to to not be ok.

It will take time. There will be tears.

BUT you will be ok.

There’s still a whole lot of amazingness out there in a life without children.

If you can’t find it, create it.

Honor who you are. Honor where you have been. Hono

Honor who you are.
Honor where you have been.
Honor where you are going.
Honor where you are now.

These are the things I took away from spending two mornings with @rossrayburnyoga at PSNY.

When we planned this trip, a class in studio was on top of the list. Tbh I was a little disappointed that I did not get into a cycling class but the universe knew what I needed…

Some slow flow yoga and reflection.

I am 3 month post hysterectomy and while I feel better in so many ways, I am still struggling my post hyster body.

But a best friend reminded me to give myself some grace and to continue to do things that make me feel good…then the rest will come. @keep_going_katie always coming through with the highest vibrations.

I am so glad I took the yoga classes. The energy and the messages were just what I needed…even though I didn’t know it.

First day in NYC was full of magic.

The Harry Potter store and then The Cursed Child.

The visuals and effects of the play were incredible! So glad I got to see it!
