When A Woman Has A Miscarriage ...

I have not touched on this subject here in my blog yet, but I feel it is so important to talk about. Not only for me therapeutically, but also for the women who may not have anyone else to talk to about this subject: Miscarriage. 

It's my plan to talk more about myself here in my blog and a big part of my life being my children. I have 3 beautiful, healthy kids and am so grateful for them - our journey has not been an easy one. My husband and I have been through 10 miscarriages and although I can at times find it hard to talk about, it is a big part of who I am. 

This post is not intended to knock people who have said some of these comments, I myself have mistakenly said these to someone, before I had gone through a miscarriage. I have been told each of these statements at some point during my losses and although it can be difficult to know what the right thing to say is and most people genuinely mean well, here is why I find these statements so hurtful:

Happy Valentines Day

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentines Day - I hope you got the opportunity to share it with the one(s) you love.  I was fortunate enough to spend the day with my 4 favourite people in the world: my valentine for 10.5yrs - my husband, my 4 year old boy, my 3 year old princess, and my little 1yr old bella.

Accustomed Chaos

Welcome

I am a stay at home mommy with three children (aged 4, 3 & 1) and we are a gluten free household. Myself and my oldest daughter have Celiac Disease so we have made the the whole household Gluten Free.

I am always on the hunt for great gluten free products and interesting and fun gf recipes that will keep my daughter and I safe as well as satisfying my husband and son's palate (who are forced to eat GF at home).

I am passionate about all things baby. Advocate for breastfeeding and co-sleeping and I love products that make my life (and my children's lives) entertaining and fun.

I will be sharing both my love for parenting and gluten free through product reviews, recipes, book reviews and what ever else I come across.

If you have a parenting product, gluten free product, book or recipe you would like me to review - send your info to devansnider@gmail.com
