Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. To all of my loss Mamas and families, I see you and I lovingly share this space with you. It is the strangest club you would never wish anyone to be a part of, yet there is comfort in knowing you are not alone in this journey, and connection in this human experience.

Today and every day I hold space for your stars in the sky, gone too soon, and honor my own sweet Theo.
Our divine gift.

We had such a hard time thinking of names when I was pregnant with Theo, but one day it just came to us. Meik looked at me and said, Theo...I like that!

I looked back and said Me too!

It was the first name that moved me like that, I immediately pictured Meik walking down the street, hand in hand with our little dude. And we knew that the little babe growing inside was our Theo.

We had finally chosen a name! And the timing couldn’t have been more divine. It was the day before we lost him. And I am so grateful that we had his name ready, the perfect name for our sweet Theo who will forever be woven into the story of our family.

We didn’t know it at the time, but the meaning of the name Theo is Divine Gift. And it couldn’t be more fitting.

Our little babe was with us just a short while, but he had a purpose far greater that any of us could have imagined. A purpose that can feel impossible for the human mind to grasp, a purpose that can overwhelm me with sadness at times, but I know in my soul that his purpose is no less for not being here earth side with us.

These Pumpkin Spice Muffins are up on the blog and

These Pumpkin Spice Muffins are up on the blog and they're pretty dang delish if I do say so myself!

Had to do a few rounds of testing to get these ones just right but the result is soft, fluffy, mooisssst muffins 😜

Made with oat flour for extra fiber and vitamins and a bit of peanut butter to up the protein and staying power (can be subbed with any nut or seed butter!) These are a nice way to start the day, or I've been having them for an afternoon snack (toasted with a little swipe of butter. The best)

Link is in my bio! Or just search pumpkin on the blog and they will pop up!

Have you made anything pumpkin yet this year?!
