A Place To Call My Own

Hey there blog world– it’s been a while.

In the time during my pregnancy with Eisley and afterwards and in the early weeks of my pregnancy with Wren I had created a blog that was titled Haus of Harnois. I had posted my mom to be and new mom musings, my favorite finds and my ideas of what motherhood was going to be like.

It’s funny to look back at all of that now– boy was I in for the ride of my life.

Motherhood and life since then has been a whirlwind. I’ve blinked and our girls have grown from babies to children. I’ve left the salon world and started my own photography business. I started selling LipSense and SeneGence (something I never would have seen myself doing five years ago) and I love it. I put blogging in the backseat because I wanted to focus all of my time on my business and part of me really regrets that. I still get that feeling in my stomach like you do when you’re in the car and you go smoothly over a big bump, that exciting tummy flip, when I look at the old blog posts of Eisley and Wren in my belly and Eisley as a baby. I wish I would have left myself a little time to keep up on that so NOW when I want to take a breath and look back at how it ‘used to’ be, I could. I’m changing that now because I realize how important that was.

This year has been less than great. I had LOTS of high hopes for 2018. Within’ the first week of the new year we got the positive pregnancy test we had been hoping for for nine months. Our dreams for adding a third baby to our brood seemed to be coming true. By 13 weeks our baby not longer had a heartbeat and my world has felt like it’s begun to crash around me since then, if I am being completely honest. I’ve decided to make my most valiant effort to post here. Share my life. Share our struggles and our heartbreak over the events of this year and share our healing as it comes, because I know and hope with all of my heart that it’s coming.
