It’s Finally Spring TIME!

One of my favourite things about the changing seasons is preparing a new capsule wardrobe.  The last capsule wardrobe I blogged about was nearly a year ago!  I created a pregnancy capsule for the spring and summer.  I had great intentions of following that up with a post-baby fall and winter capsule wardrobe, but with everything that happened – Nora being born two months early, and then my open-heart surgery in December – my “capsule wardrobe” basically just consisted of sweat pants and rompers!

So – with the spring season finally upon us – after one of the most difficult winters of my life, I am so looking forward to everything this new season brings with it, including a new capsule collection.

Surviving Heart Surgery

This blog post contains images and details that some readers might find disturbing.

This has been a hard post for me to write.  Partly because I still have trouble sometimes connecting to the experience; to really recognizing that the story I’m about to tell happened to me.  And partly because it has felt so big that I want to make sure I do it justice, for myself, and for anyone who connects to what I have to share.  Today I want to walk through the story of my heart surgery, the complications, and my recovery.
