Inspiration in the midst of chaos

Oct 8, 2022Mood Board

Life has been busy, and there has been some moments of reprieve, surely. BUT it’s about to get a lot more chaotic.

With a baby on the way, life is about to change forever.

I’m trying to manage my emotions, my expectations, and my pregnancy symptoms which are all hectic to be frank, but here we are, taking it day by day. Sharing some random bits of positivity and inspiration to get me through the next few months, hopefully with grace and no regrets.
