Halloween may be my favorite holiday. I absolutely love it. I am not a huge fan of horror or being scared, but ask anyone and they’ll tell you that I am a huge fan of a good costume and good party. I freaking love Halloween. My husband and I have been together since 2013 and […]

One year. No that’s not that amount of time it’s taken me to write this next blog post, although I definitely have not made the commitment that I anticipated making when I started this. It’s been one year since I posted this on my Facebook page: It’s National Infertility Awareness Week. Here’s our story: Jared […]
