(So yes, I’m still pregnant. Yes, I’m still baby crazy and it’s all I think about. But I’m still going to try to get back to regular blogging about all the different things on my soul. 🙂 ) I wanted to take some time today to talk about something I’ve been learning about over the […]
Our first ultrasound and realizing that there is, indeed, a baby growing in my belly.
After I went to the doctor that Saturday morning and had my pregnancy confirmed, I had to go straight to work at The Bier Garden. I was there for about an hour before I couldn’t handle it anymore and spilled the beans to a coworker, which led to the entire staff working that day finding […]
And just like that, my life changed forever.
I’m still finding it hard to believe that I’m about to write about what I’m about to write about. It’s so beautifully surreal, so magical, so life changing. Since most of you who follow this blog know me personally and follow me on facebook, you know what I’m talking about. I’M FREAKING PREGNANT!!!! After three […]
Breathing through my frustrations
**Note: This was actually written on April 3, but I never posted it. I’m posting it now, nearly a month later just because I felt I needed to. I have too many drafts that go unpublished, and I don’t want to do that anymore. Better late than never, right?** So, rough couple of days for […]
More thoughts on productivity and shame (and kicking life’s ass!)
So I didn’t make it to the yoga class I penciled in for yesterday. Or do all the errands that were on my list. But it was cold and snowy… There was a minute in the afternoon, right after the time for my yoga class passed, that I started to get down on myself. “I […]
New Days, New Beginnings

Just thought it was time for a little Allen Life Update post. 🙂 Dustin started massage school last week, and he’s already in love with it all. We’re settling into our schedule and routine. It’s a lot of running around town since we’re sharing a car right now, but we make it work. He already […]
Evolving into my Power
Lately, I’ve been journaling and meditating a lot on trying to define myself – to express the truth that my soul is telling me about who I am (who we all are, really). (Remember that 6-post long “Who Am I?” series? Yeah, still processing all that.) I grew up with the worldview that I was […]
Natural Endings and New Beginnings
I’ve been following a new astrology blog called Mystic Mamma. (Yes, I’ve been diving into astrology a lot lately. I figure a system that’s been used by civilizations for thousands of years has to have some merit. And I’ve seen too many correlations in my own life to consider it all coincidence. There’s a lot […]
