(ad) I know it doesn’t seem possible, but ’tis the season to at least begin to think about holiday shopping. I’m not really an early holiday shopper (I’m not really an early anything these days ) but we recently discovered a new potential obsession for Charlie that I thought many of you would love for your kids: coding with Botley the Coding Robot! It teaches coding to kids without using screens! You can find Botley from @learningresources at @Walmart now so your kids will have the ultimate STEM toy this holiday season. And since it is both educational and fun, it’s a win win! It is designed for ages 5+ — Charlie is almost 8 and it is perfect for him. Who thinks their kiddo would love receiving this as a gift? ‍♀️ And who has already started their holiday shopping? Are you a done-by-Halloween kind of shopper, a Black Friday shopper, or a last minute shopper? #LearningResources #Botley #STEM #SANTAapproved #Walmart #STEMUndertheTree #BotleyatWalmart

Many of you know that Quincy was our bonus baby, but I don’t know how many of you know that Calvin is our rainbow baby. Because I am one of the 1 in 4 women who has had a miscarriage. We only knew that we were pregnant for a couple of weeks before our loss — it happened early. As miscarriages go, we were one of the lucky ones, although it is hard to use that word in the same sentence as miscarriage. But I had known women who had been through much harder experiences than mine. But it was still an incredibly painful time for me and I felt pretty alone at first because it is such a strange feeling when you feel like your body is betraying you. I still remember those emotions very vividly. My girlfriends who had also been through it were such a source of support for me. Had that baby been born, he or she would be turning 5 right around now. And the loss still hurts. I imagine it always will. But 8 months later we got pregnant with Calvin. It was a tough 8 months of processing our loss and then trying to conceive again. But then we got our sweet rainbow baby. And then, very (too) easily and quite by surprise Quincy was on the way as well. Life, man. It’s a trip. Today is Pregnancy Infant Loss Awareness Day and it has taken me 5 years to speak this much about my miscarriage. But I think our shared experiences are so important for our own healing and the healing of others going through the same thing. My heart is with all of you who have gone through a miscarriage or the loss of a baby. You are not alone ❤️ #ihadamiscarriage #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness #pregnancyandinfantlossawarenessday #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesurvivor #thefredrickboys #battlefieldmotherhood

Two things: 1) I blogged our weekend apple picking adventure at @lynd_fruit_farm, over at ohlovelyday.com And 2) Quincy is available for all of your beanie-modeling needs. But he doesn’t get out of bed for less than 10k jellybeans a day ‍♀️ Doesn’t it seem unfair that little ones have the best hair and highlights? It’s like when we give birth we lose part of our minds, a piece of our hearts walk around outside of our bodies, and they steal our good hair #quincyrhys #makeportraits #momofboys #longhairedboy #614blogger #columbusbloggers
