Links & Things: Hard Days & Ponderings

I’ve been processing a lot of things and nursing a wound from a miscarriage after an IVF cycle in August. Infertility is always hard. But it’s a million times harder when you are over 40. I’m grateful for the kids I do have, but I’m also mourning the pregnancy that wasn’t to be and the realization that there may not be any more in the future.

Convicted

“Trust is basic to any relationship, and you engender trust when you admit you’re wrong. Think about it. When you know that someone is wrong but they won’t admit it, that relationship doesn’t feel very good. In fact, it feels like being right is more important to that person than having an honest, open relationship with you.” Change your life by learning how to admit you’re wrong {Wise Bread}

Life Via Instagram

This past week we went to Orlando for my husband’s business conference where the girls decided they would try out an opening act for next year’s conference and enjoyed hanging poolside during the break out sessions.

We went to St. Augustine and braved the rains that rained out most of our planned field trips but we still made it to Fort Matanzas and the Pirate Museum.

Weekend Projects

I admit that 31 days to a clutter free life { Living Well & Spending Less} isn’t really a weekend project, but it’s a great project to kick off this weekend!

Vignette with what surrounds you {The Nester} is the perfect weekend project in easy little bites that won’t suck up your time or break the bank.

Remember, Practice Gratitude and Celebrate Life.

We can do this!
