As many of you know, Blake and I have been through quite a journey to become pregnant. We had been trying to have a baby for 2 years without full added fertility help, and when we first became pregnant through IUI after only 2 tries, we were so hopeful and excited that it was finally our turn. When we lost that baby, whom we lovingly call Blueberry, we felt that hope was lost. It took quite some time to have the faith and hope and bravery to start the process all over again.

As you all know (unless you are new to me and the blog, then you don't know) I LOVE MAKEUP. I think makeup is the perfect gift for anyone and everyone, only excluding the football man in your life, and even then it might still be a possibility!
