letters to paisley || 38 weeks in my belly
Dear Paisley, I’ll be honest with you sweet girl – this pregnancy is not what I expected. It was harder, more uncomfortable, and more physically exhausting than your sisters. I found myself getting frustrated sometimes while you were in my tummy. Not at you! I had some unmet expectations for how I thought 2019 […]

emmaline’s bunny
It was Easter time and my sweet mother-in-law had gifted Emmaline a pink stuffed bunny that came from WalMart. To be honest, I truly thought it would be a fun toy for a day and then it would get shuffled to the bottom of the stuffed animal bin. And then we started noticing bunny was […]
