Our IVF Journey: The First Night of Lupron Shots

When most people think of IVF, they think of shots … and for good reason, there are a lot of them!  This time around, we are starting off with Lupron shots.  Essentially, Lupron suppresses your hormones so that you are less likely to ovulate.  It helps the doctors control your cycle so that they can time up the rest of the process correctly.  Modern medicine is amazing! 

We are now on our second…

5 Hot RN Looks for Less with Murph Boutique

When it comes to fashion, I want everyone to be able to rock those trendy styles and feel confident when they step out each day.  But, let’s be honest, the price tag on some of those designer pieces is out of control – especially when you can get the same looks for less.

That was a huge reason I started Murph Boutique.  Our mission is to offer a collection of styles, sizes and price points for…

Cheers to Fall Inspired Cocktails!

It’s that time of year again — time for my favorite ‘F’ word: FALL! Gimme all the pumpkin, apple cider, cozy sweaters and boots!  I love summer, but by now I’m ready to transition into the new season, especially since there are so many holidays and get-togethers this time of year.  From fantasy football with friends to trick-or-treating with the kiddos to our big “framily” Thanksgiving dinner, I…

How to Wear Three of Fall’s Biggest Trends

How is it fall already?! I swear, this summer flew by so fast – mainly because we were busy filming Racing Wives for CMT which I’m SO excited about! Even though I’m going to miss warm days hanging at the pool with my boys, fall fashion makes me happy so I’m ready to trade in swimsuits for this season’s hottest looks!

Three of my favorite trends this fall are animal print, bold stripes, and…

High Protein, Soy-Free Products for PCOS

As many of you know, I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) which is one of the reasons we had to go through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) to have Brexton.  PCOS can look different for a lot of people, but for me it’s battling with adult acne, hair loss and having sucky ovaries that don’t know how to make a good egg because my hormones aren’t right.  Even with birth control to help regulate my…

Summer Trip to the Outer Banks

Summertime means the pool parties, backyard barbecues and family vacations! On the June off week, we wanted to go somewhere not too far away from home with lots to do for Brexton and some R&R for us! We had a friend tell us about the Outer Banks and decided to start researching. We quickly found that first it wasn’t very far (5 1/2 hours by car) and there were so many things to do from great food…

Brexton’s Dinosaur Birthday Party

When they say kids grow up so fast, they are not kidding.  It literally feels like just yesterday Brexton was born and here we are with a 3 year old (excuse me while I sob in the corner)! 

We love any reason to celebrate here in this family, and Brexton’s birthday is no exception.  Birthday parties are especially fun because I love coming up all these fun ideas (thank goodness for Pinterest!)…
