Trying to conceive can be an emotional rollercoaster. When faced with infertility, the desire to optimize your health and increase your chances of a successful pregnancy becomes even stronger. I wanted to share my Infertility and IVF: Vitamins and Supplements. This was certainly the case for me during my IVF journey. I spent countless hours researching supplements and their potential benefits for fertility. While there’s no magic bullet, I wanted to share the vitamins I…
I feel like I planned this cowboy-themed baby shower in my head for years, but never imagined it would turn out this wonderful.

We’ve officially lived long enough in Germany that we were invited to multiple weddings! So in my true fashionista ways, I went on a hunt for all of the perfect wedding guest looks for under $100. When you reach this place in your 20s and 30s, it seems like every other weekend there’s an event to head to. You want a new look each time, but don’t want to spend your whole paycheck especially since…
In 2019, when I stopped taking birth control pills, I wouldn’t have imagined we would be still trying 3 years later. As I am approaching 32, I am coming to the realization that I will also be starting fertility treatments. Over these 3 years, I’ve celebrated friends, co-workers, family members, and strangers online bringing in their bundle of joys. I’ve also mourned with them when they experienced infertility and miscarriages. We are 1:8. This means…
When I moved abroad to Germany in 2020, my worst fear was not being able to find people to call friends. Growing up we make friends at school or at after school jobs. Sometimes we have friendships that are build in from birth through family friends. The things about friends is that they are important. Whether it’s a friend who tells you how it is or a friend who is your hype girl every step…
