Hey ladies: Nothing Can Take This Away From Us

Our feelings are valid, but let's be positive! This morning I woke up to my What to Expect app reminding me of the exciting news that I am at the halfway mark! 20 weeks and counting. I scrolled through the email and read some of the conversations happening between all of the other expectant mothers.… Continue reading Hey ladies: Nothing Can Take This Away From Us

In Italy, down-on-one-knee proposals are pretty rare. Normally, it's a conversation. The couple discusses being married and they start planning. Engagements aren't as big… Continue reading Mr. Z and the most Perfect Proposal!

“Why being really lonely is sometimes super awesome”

Extra cool points if you know which show I got this title from. We're in quarantine, in Bergamo, Italy. There is death all around us right now. It's depressing. Even just taking the dog for a walk and seeing people cross the street to avoid you, or feeling the need cross the street to avoid… Continue reading “Why being really lonely is sometimes super awesome”
