Starting Over…

Helllooooo friends, it is me. Laurena.

If you haven’t noticed, my blog + website got a makeover! This is because I transferred my domain {website} over to Square Space so I could not only blog but also sell!

A few months ago, I launched my Etsy shop to sell my educational resources + flashcards for toddlers. I wanted to do it on my site but it was really difficult to figure out how to do it on my old site. So selling on Etsy was fine.

But I revealed over on Instagram {go follow me!} that I will be launching some super cute stickers soon, and I didn’t want to sell it on the same Etsy page.

Hence the birth of this website.

So here I am. Starting over.

The heartbreaking {is that overly dramatic? maybe. but also maybe not} thing is that in the process of switching sites, I lost access to my old blog posts.

This is really sad for me because I spoke very openly and vulnerably about certain pregnancy + postpartum struggles I experienced and I would have loved to either keep them for myself or repost them here.

Unfortunately, now that’s not an option. But if you want me to talk about anything specific in regards to my {previous} pregnancy + postpartum experience, let me know and I will for sure do that!

If you’re new here, know that I do my best to be as transparent and raw with my audience as I possibly can.

I’ve experienced extreme lows {both due to PPD/PPA and also previous traumas} and I never want anyone to feel as alone as I did.

Even if I may not fully understand or understand at all, I want to be a light + a reminder that you are not alone and things will get better.

So although I may be “starting over” in a sense, I am still and always will be a bold, blaring sign telling you that there is always hope.

love + light,

laurena
