Life isn't a highlight reel and not every part of our stories are beautiful and instagram worthy. The Journey Unfiltered is my story through life after divorce raising three children all with and by God's abounding grace.

How far along: 22 weeks! How big is the baby: At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he’s even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have […]
It’s been a while since I’ve joined in with any of the iPhoneography or InstaGram linkups. I was no where near the InstaGram addict that I am now when I had my iTouch. But the camera quality on my iPhone is to die for. I find myself taking a lot more snapshots throughout the day now that […]
I’m going to be honest…I am not the most organized person in the world. (Ssshh. If you listen really carefully you can probably hear my husband my laughing…as if he didn’t already know that I wasn’t organized.) Between managing this blog; running a somewhat successful design business full of deadlines; keeping track of birthday parties, playdates, […]
We had our Gender Reveal Party Saturday. After opting not to find out the sex of our baby at our ultrasound last Monday, we had our tech write down the baby’s gender and seal it in an envelope for us to take to my friend and cake baker extraordinaire Thea aka Bakermama. She took a few […]
We’ve reached the halfway point in this pregnancy. It’s hard to believe that in a mere 20 weeks (give or take a week or two depending on when this baby makes his or her debut) we’ll be meeting and welcoming our second child. Our second child. When did I even get old enough to have a […]

How far along: 17 weeks and 1 day How big is the baby: Your baby’s skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she’s around 5 inches long […]
It’s no secret that the most common question asked to soon-to-be mom’s is: Are you guys hoping for a girl or a boy? Since we already have a little boy, I typically get asked if we’re hoping it’s a girl. Or either people assume that we would only want a girl. I’ll be honest… I won’t […]
Well, hello! Contrary to popular belief I am still alive and kicking. (Actually, the baby is doing most of the kicking these days, but you know what I mean.) I’ve had a hard time getting going again since we returned from our two week mini-vacay in Anchorage. I never thought that just hopping on a plane, […]
