October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

I recently saw that October was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. There are so many causes and awareness movements that sometimes, unless it directly affects you, you forget the movement or awareness is happening.

A story of loss and healing

It’s 10:30 am on a Thursday. It’s been one week since we heard the news that our first Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) failed.

After all, how do you create classes that will catch a parent’s eye, catch a learner’s interest, and be a subject that isContinue reading “New course type for a New Year”

Looking Back at My Year on Outschool

Well, technically it hasn’t exactly been a year. But as 2020 is coming to a close, I thought it would be nice to reflect on my Outschool experience. Before getting into the background info, I want to begin by saying that I love working on Outschool. Now for a bit of background. I have wantedContinue reading “Looking Back at My Year on Outschool”

Happy 4th of July

This weekend the nation celebrated the 4th of July. Traditionally, my family and my husband’s family have gotten together, found a great place to view the fireworks, brought food to share and enjoyed the evening. This year we found our 4th looked a little different. Being pregnant in the age of COVID with numbers risingContinue reading “Happy 4th of July”
