2021 is looking bright - Baby Boy Sooter due May 1
2021 is looking bright - Baby Boy Sooter due May 1st! 💙
.
It has been an incredibly hard year, but at least we have a little silver lining of bringing a new family member into the world next year! Bellamy is so excited and can’t wait to meet and hold ‘baby brudda’ - we know she will make the sweetest and best big sister ever! We can’t wait to meet our second IVF miracle baby and introduce him to you all (as soon as the world gets under control, that is. Hah).
.
And for those of you struggling with infertility, miscarriage, and loss, we see you, we love you, we walk with you. This announcement is made with the utmost of care and we hold you in our hearts always ❤️


If you or anyone you know loves bookish stuff, I’ve got a big sale running over on my other account/website @brioandbrandish !
.
I’ve got enamel pins, sweatshirts, tote bags, mugs, keychains, and more! Perfect for gifts or a little pick-me-up! 😊 I also ship internationally! 🌎

Happy Father’s Day to the best dada Bellamy coul
Happy Father’s Day to the best dada Bellamy could ever ask for - @natesooter ! Bella absolutely adores you and I love watching your relationship together grow more and more each day ❤️ Whether it’s reading, going on outings, snuggling, getting wild and crazy, or riding on “dada’s shushus (shoulders)” Bellamy absolutely loves every moment she gets to spend with you. It’s been a real silver lining to this whole pandemic business - getting to have you home with our sweet girl every day. Thank you for being so patient, fun, and loving with our daughter. We couldn’t ask for anyone better. We love you! ❤️

Considering what has been happening (for centuries
Considering what has been happening (for centuries and not just this week) and the fact that it is #worldoutlanderday, now more than ever, we all need to be like Claire and embrace the quote “I am not the meek and obedient type.”
.
We need to use our voices to stand up for what is right and for those who have been systemically oppressed for hundreds of years. White people, the time is now. Educate yourselves, educate others, and stand with our black brothers and sisters in this fight. Silence on this matter simply will not do. Use your privilege to help fight for true equality. Don’t content yourself to just be someone who isn’t racist - be actively anti-racist. Speak up, don’t be meek or obedient or afraid of stepping on toes. I know it’s scary, I know it’s hard and uncomfortable. But black people and other POC have been feeling this way for decades upon decades. Surely we can experience a little bit of discomfort if it means relieving theirs, even just the slightest bit.
.
I don’t claim to have all the answers, I don’t claim to be perfect. I have to check my own bias and privilege daily, hourly, minute by minute. But we have to press forward, even in our imperfection, even if we make mistakes. Because our brothers and sisters are literally dying in the streets. And we cannot be silent anymore.
.
I have been posting some resources in my stories and will continue to do so. I’m working on sourcing some reading lists and I will share places that you can donate to to help the Black Lives Matter movement. Take this time you have at home to educate yourselves - Google Black history, follow voices of color on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, podcasts, etc, talk to your kids, family members, friends about what has been going on, and lend your support in whatever ways you are able to the Black community. Let’s embrace our inner Claires and speak out against injustice and never stop fighting ❤️

Slowly working on house projects while we are voluntarily quarantining. This is our basement guest room, which has been on my to do list for a while, even though we won’t be having any guests anytime soon hah. .
There is still more to be done to this room - curtains, more art and decor touches, and my biggest project - adding board and batten to the feature wall (but since it’s not essential to go to Home Depot for wood, this will be on the back burner for a while)
.
Anyway, still unfinished, but coming along nicely! Swipe to see what it looked like when we moved in and just threw stuff in there lol
