When we decided to take a break, one of the main reasons was because I felt burnt out. I swore that I would do things differently the next time around.

Guess Who’s Back…… From Hiatus
Whew....it's been a minute....a hot minute. I took a break from fertility treatments last Summer and didn't realize that I would actually be taking a break from everything.
