Who’s ready to party like it’s 2005? You could Who’s ready to party like it’s 2005? You could have knocked us over with a feather.  Leo tried to talk me into buying a pregnancy test for 2 weeks and I kept saying “that’s not what this is, babe. I’m just tired and a little stressed.”

To everyone who has loved on us, prayed with us, talked to us, and just been in our tribe over the last 11 years of secondary infertility... I say this: you got us through. We had periods of losing faith in our creator and even each other but every one of you held us up. His plans are not our own and that surpasses our human ability to understand... but He sends His love through people He places in our lives. Each and every one of you are a living, breathing testimony to His faithfulness and radical love for us.

We’re not yet out of that “first trimester phase” where it’s customary to announce. Leo asked me if I wanted to hold back on telling the world. I don’t. I can’t. With our past chemical pregnancy, I want as many people praying over our sweet baby as possible.

Guys, we’re having a baby. I keep texting Leo saying “A baby. An ACTUAL BABY.” We can’t believe it. 

Apparently, our fam only procreates via chaotic unplanned pregnancies while living in Knoxville... and those kids are born during football season. 🏈🍊

My husband asked if I needed to go to the emergency room. I said the emergency would be if no one got to eat that soup.

Switching career tracks from nonprofits to a for-p Switching career tracks from nonprofits to a for-profit business have had some unintended consequences.

For example, I became something I swore I would never be: a La Croix drinker.

Is my next step asking to speak to the manager everywhere I go? My nails are still chipped just like when I worked in nonprofits so maybe I’m okay.

NEW BLOG POST: SHOW OF HANDS: who needs some next NEW BLOG POST:

SHOW OF HANDS: who needs some next level mac and cheese? A smooth, creamy mac with some KAPOW?! YOU DO. Trust me. You need this one-pot creamed spinach mac & cheese in your life. 

If there were ever a time of extreme self-indulgence, this is the time. And, eh. Throw in some spinach because you should eat your vegetables or whatever. Don’t like spinach? Listen… I’m not your mom. Make it without spinach. I won’t tell her.

NEW BLOG POST: Ever had a chile relleno? It’s l NEW BLOG POST:

Ever had a chile relleno? It’s like… a big deal. It’s a delectable Mexican dish that is basically a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with cheese, dipped in batter, and fried until it’s died and gone to HEAVEN.

It’s served on a bed of salsa and it’s basically all I want for Christmas to be back in my favorite Mexican restaurant eating a plate full of them with margaritas…. but alas… in true 2020 form they’re doing takeout only and it’s JUST NOT THE SAME, PEOPLE.

I decided to gift myself a new version. I turned the concept into soup because it’s cold and it’s a crappy year and I do what I want to keep my sanity. MY WORD. What 2020 problems? Are there still problems? I don’t even know. Or care. I’m too happy eating all this delectable deliciousness. It’s also a fun recipe to whip up. You start with a quick blender salsa and then you get to torch some peppers. I mean TORCH THEM.

I got to take out my 2020 mood on the peppers and then I got to eat what has got to be the best soup I’ve ever made in my life.
