Now I’m using my @whirlyboard balance board with my standing desk, crushing workouts on BODi, and foam rolling the tightness away with my @oceanfoam  roller like a boss. 

Highly recommend these sneakers!!!! Super comfortable, only $50 a pair, and Prime shipping from Amazon. You can’t go wrong.

This simple ring from Mint & Lily holds the name of my stillborn son—delicate, beautiful, and deeply meaningful. It’s a small way I get to remember Dylan, honor him, and carry his memory with me in the quiet moments of motherhood.

Custom jewelry like this makes space for the unseen stories so many of us carry. 💔❤️‍🩹

If you’ve ever wanted to wear your child’s name—whether they’re in your arms or in Heaven—this is a beautiful way to do it.

💍 You can customize your own name ring with @mintandlily and wear your love right on your hand.☺️

(My other ring is his birthstone)💚
