Candi🍭 does each day this year so you can share in the joy of the season! We would love to see what your elf is up to as well so be sure to tag us!❤️ 

We're also wondering if she may bring a new elf friend with her this year. 🤔 How cool would that be?! 

🍭Last year she decorated Wyatt's bedroom door with a whole bunch of cool stuff she brought from the North Pole including blown up candy canes, swirly mints, twinkle lights, and a few fun Christmas garland. What do you think?

This trend had me deep in the files for hours last This trend had me deep in the files for hours last night 😭😭 

Ask any questions in the comments ⤵️ I'm an open book on this one. Feel free to share with someone who may need it. I believe sharing our struggles and stories helps all of us feel less alone.

Ry and I had the talks that maybe this wouldn't happen for us. The biggest heartache in that was thinking Wyatt wouldn't have a sibling- something we wanted for him. ❤️

If you're unfamiliar with our story:

- In 2014 we had a miscarriage at 15 weeks.💔

- Found out I have an 'incompetent cervix' 🙄 and would need a cerclage for future pregnancies.

- Six months later we were pregnant with Wyatt! ❤️

- Wyatt was born in July 2015.

- A few years later we started trying for another babe.

- It turned out to be a 2.5 year journey. In 2021, we took the summer off trying (I turnes 40) and our first month back in the game - boom. 💃 Pregnant!

- Two significant scares in my pregnancy. 

- June 2022 - Noah arrives! 🤗🤗
