Hi, I’m Brianna and I’m a planner addict. Some might say I’ve got a problem, but honestly, is the insane desire to organize your life with beautiful paper and pretty pens truly a problem? I say, “Nay, nay.” Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a love affair with office supplies, particularly writing supplies. I must have at least fifty journals and notebooks that I bought because they were pretty and were just perfect for whatever I […]

Just like I will never forget the day I was told I couldn’t conceive, I will never forget the day I found out I was pregnant after battling infertility. It was a beautiful, sunny day in April, exactly one year ago today, in fact. I’m celebrating today because this was the day that God demonstrated His grace, power, and limitless love in my life. If you’re not familiar with my struggle with infertility, the gist of it is that I […]

I will never forget the day I was told I would likely be unable to conceive a child. It was a windy Thursday afternoon in mid-November. I sat in my car in the parking lot of my OB-GYN’s office and sobbed.

I never understood what an infertility journey really consisted of until it happened to me. I always assumed conceiving and growing my family would be easy. And for most people, I guess it is. But not for me. When my husband and I married, we decided we wanted to wait five years before trying to have kids. But after three, we knew we were ready. We both had good jobs, a house, a few dogs and cats running around, and […]
Continue ReadingI’m sure you’ve seen that commercial for a certain brand of cold medicine that says, “Moms don’t take sick days; moms take [This Cold Medicine].” Although society says moms should find a way to power through their illness, I’m here to tell you that moms should indeed take sick days. Over the weekend, I came down with a nasty stomach bug, the likes of which I haven’t experienced since I was a kid. It started with a bit of an […]
Continue ReadingI was getting ready for bed last night and there it was: a gray hair hanging out along my part line. I’m in my late twenties and just became a mama. My body underwent a lot of changes during pregnancy and birth, but I was honestly not prepared to see that little sucker shimmering back at me in the mirror. When I showed it to my husband, bless him, he said, “Well…silver hair is a sign of wisdom.” Initially, I […]
