How to Help in the Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts

I have been sitting back watching the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in Texas with my jaw dropped and it just doesn’t seem real; things like don’t happen to places you’ve been, right? I grew up in Texas, so the people there will always have a chunk of my heart. It has been devastating to see the pictures roll of in of people being completely displaced and losing all of their physical possessions. They will have to start over and it just doesn’t seem fair. And that describes a lot of life.

What I do know and what helps give me hope is that I know God loves these people and will help them find a way to rebuild. I was talking to a friend and we were also so comforting and in awe of how many people have stepped up to help in the efforts. There is silver lining in every trial, and that is love. Hard situations like this give others opportunities for service and for helping others and it is beautiful to see the goodness that lives in people.

Here is a list of some places that you can help, if you’ve been looking for a way:

  • LDS Philanthropies. My church is putting in great work to aid in helping during this time! 100% of your donation will go to helping where is needed.

    One of the best blogs, I’ve seen to organize and quickly make help available! I went to Haiti, as a nurse/health care provider immediately after the earthquake in 2010! We saw many of the above mentioned organizations in action.
    Personally, LDS Family Services/philanthropies worked quickly and were well prepared for this type of dessaster, and, they stayed the longest!! Long after the news media and actors staring in YouTube videos were gone, many great organizations stayed! Drs without boarders will care for manny after this health situation erupts in needs!
    Catholic charities provided food for us working and patients families!

#ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sl #ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sleep, but you continue to wake up feeling unrested and aren’t sure why.

Your spouse notices you are snoring and they can’t get their own good night’s sleep by sleeping in the same room.

Neither option is any fun for anyone involved!

Snoring can be a symptom. Sleep apnea is where your throat closes off while you are sleeping, which does not allow for proper oxygen flow to your brain, thus leaving you tired the next day….and leaving your spouse sleepless as well.

And we all know that a CPAP machine is not the most user-friendly experience out there…

Enter @Soundsleepmedical. They have created an appliance that gives you sound sleep. The device holds your jaw slightly forward when you sleep so your airway is not blocked at all, and you wake up feeling refreshed and your spouse can sleep back in the same room as you.

Quality of life and a happy spouse is a win-win.

Be sure to use the link in my bio to schedule your free sleep screening. You can use code JENICA to receive a free sleep screening, which includes an in-office consultation and at-home sleep test, along with $50 off your oral appliance.

Sweet dreams my friends.
I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I was deciding if I could handle doing another frozen embryo transfer…and now LOOK at him 🥹 It was one of the hardest years of my entire life. Going through things I don’t wish on anyone. But look at us now 😭 And looking internally…the things I’ve learned.

Tell me about something a year ago for you that you didn’t know you’d get through and can’t believe you are where you’re at 🤍👇🏻 #infertilityjourney #ivfsuccess #frozenembryotransfer
This is it. Not just in motherhood, although moth This is it.

Not just in motherhood, although motherhood really amplifies it, but in life.

It’s the fast days that are loud and sunny.

It’s the slow days that are quiet and snowy.

The mismatched pajamas and the dressed to the nines.

It’s the mess.

It’s the organization and order.

It’s the to-do list that gets crossed off and the to-do list that doesn’t.

It’s in the allowing of both.

It’s in perhaps preferring one over the other, but not judging either.

It’s in the wisdom that both will pass and each have lessons to teach.

Neither is wrong.

Both are allowed.

This is it.

It might feel impossible in the middle of it and y It might feel impossible in the middle of it and you might question everything.

“I have no idea what the future will bring.”

“Will everything I’m putting myself through be worth it?”

“What am I doing?”

“Am I making the right choice?”

But your moments will come. Trust that and let it bring you peace.

The alternative is feeling anxious, which is also completely acceptable and normal, but remember that you also have the option of trusting and feeling peace, too. There is room for both.

You’re not alone in this 🤍

It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the deep, black ocean of IVF again. I knew what I was doing this time and I was filled with fear because…I knew.

When I found out I was pregnant, the fear was my secret. Only a close few knew.

And this space was filled with tears, uncertainty…soul reaching prayers.

Sleepless nights, gut wrenching heartache.

Secrets that I hold close to my heart.

And then he came.

And the healing began.

And the mama, this mama, knew she did it.

That black ocean had swallowed her whole and she’d do it again for the light that is him.

Once she swam to the surface, and jaggedly gasped in the fresh air and felt the sunshine on her face, she knew she would do it all over again.

For this sacred chaos.

Tonight as I was moving the bassinet out of my room, I stopped. The room will soon be cleared. The shelves emptied and the order restored. And I can’t believe that the ocean was conquered. The chaos was where I found the strength and the beauty.

The sacred, precious chaos.
