Lunches this week: Pesto Chicken with Green Beans, Quinoa and Cherry Tomatoes. I used Bertolli pesto sauce and it’s delicious! . . . . #citytosouth #mealprep #lunchprep #100dollarchallenge #healthycooking
It’s pretty amazing what the brain will do to protect your heart. As time goes on, the rawness lessens. All of those dark, painful details get hazier and feel more foreign. But no matter how hard your brain works to block it all out, it’s still there lingering beneath the surface. She’s still there. Happy what would be your 2nd birthday, Grace. I like to picture you in heaven celebrating alongside all the babies of the loss mothers I’ve met here on earth. . . . . #citytosouth #pregnancyloss #2ndtrimesterloss #2ndtrimesterabortion #forgrace #grief #duedate
You guys. I bought a chandelier off Facebook Marketplace for only $160. When I saw it posted, I loved the silhouette, but I couldn’t tell what condition it was in from the picture. When I arrived, I took one look at it and told the woman I wasn’t interested. I seriously thought it was foggy old plastic! But once I got closer, I realized it wasn’t plastic, it just hadn’t been properly cleaned for the 50+ years that it hung in that dining room. So I took a chance on her and bought it. And now, I’m dedicating all my pre-bedtime me-time to cleaning this treasure, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out! // uncleaned strand on the left, cleaned on the right. Just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover. 🙌 I’ll be sharing more on our dining room makeover in the coming months! . . . . #citytosouth #diningroommakeover #hiddentreasures #chandelier #diy #antique #marketplacefind #windex
To my babies here on earth and in the stars: I’m so blessed to be your mom. Thank you for loving me, teaching me, shaping me and inspiring me. ❤️
Today isn’t some big milestone or anniversary, nor did anything significant happen that would make me upset. But for some reason, I’m sitting here wide awake in tears thinking about the most minute details of Grace’s short life. These nights are few and far between these days, but I still need them every once in awhile to feel close to her again. Just to remember. . . . . #citytosouth #pregancyloss #grief #griefjourney #loss #secondtrimesterabortion #shoutyourabortion #forgrace #pregnancylossawareness #blogger
Instead of saying “goodbye”, the Tweedalls say “LPG.” I’m not sure where it originated from, but it means: I love you, I’m proud of you and I’m grateful for you. I’ve been looking at different wooden signs for above our kitchen hutch for awhile now, but all the sayings felt so generic and cliche. So, I decided to make my own! James built and painted the frame and my friend helped me get the lettering just right with her cricut. I love the charm it brings to our kitchen and I love even more that it holds so much meaning. LPG ❤️ . . . . #citytosouth #woodensigns #loveproudgrateful #kitchenhutch #diy #kitchendesign #styling #blogger #lifestyleblogger
I love Dolly Parton. Her Imagination Library has brought so much joy to our bedtime routine, and her book, “I am a Rainbow” holds a special place in my heart. ❤️🌈 . . . . #citytosouth #imaginationlibrary #dollyparton #rainbows #read #bedtime #loveher
In one week, I will be running the Nashville half marathon. So much has happened these past 11 weeks of training, but running has kept me grounded through it all. Sharing yet another life challenge on the blog today.
