Out with the Old, in with the New. New blog that is.

-


I'm the new Mrs. Strangfeld in town.Most of you who will be reading this follow me on some sort of social media.And a lot of you are probably familiar with my old blog, you know,the one about hair and makeup, the one I gave up on what seems to be forever ago. I then started to turn to YouTube videos, doing tutorials and making Vlogs about my non-exciting life. Back then, I was hoping to become some internet sensation. Maybe  I was in some sense, but just to my small band of followers from my  hometown. I quickly fell off my train in that department. I still have a passion for hair and makeup, but at the same time,I feel like I lost it. I rather put the time and the effort into a client than myself. Anywhooo. I decided I'm not ready to give up writing. So I've  created this brand new blog that some might enjoy and some might now. But I decided that I'm also using this blog as a journal, and my way to vent my feelings. So this blog will be full of emotions and real life things! You have been warned.
 For those who don't follow me, or know me, I 'll give a small recap on my life.




This is Lee. Everyone say "Hi Lee!". Lee is my best friend AND my husband! How lucky am I?! We said I DO on Septemeber 2nd, 2017 after 4 years of being in love! Now here we are,coming up on 5 years of being together. Lee and I grew up in the same small town, but we never knew it! Lee stole my heart when I was just 19 years old.And his love is all I 've ever known.It may sound cliche, but i know there are others out there who know the exact feeling I am talking about.  
We have lived in a small, but nice, house together for the last 3 years, and we have made it our home. We have 2 furbabies, Red and Remi, both of the Fat-Neck Breed (just kidding, they're actually called a bloodhound, but same difference).


Then there's me. Sierra. Age 23.  I own a hair salon with my mother, and that's where I spend about 87% of my time. (Except Sundays and Mondays) I also own a small makeup business, with Motives Cosmetics. My favorite makeup line on this entire planet. So as you can see, loving  hair and makeup just kind of comes naturally for me! If you want to know about me, scroll through my instagram and I'd say it tells a pretty good story!  Or just stick around to read what comes next!


2017 was such an amazing year. I almost wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to it when 2018 came rolling in. Why did I love 2017 so much? Here's a list:


  • I bought my first big girl vehicle!
  • I hunted and killed a turkey all by myself,,,no man needed!
  • My sister got married in June and I was her maid of honor
  • I had a kick-ass bridal shower and bachelorette party in July
  • Married my best friend in Septemeber
  • Went on a fantastic honeymoon to Mexico
  • Shot my first buck with a bow
  • Found out we were pregnant...
Oh yes, you read that  right. WE ARE PREGNANT! Welcome to Strangfeld-Party of 3.

 I recently saw a trend on tiktok. There's usually a powerful/emotional song playing in the background and the caption states " share a picture of yourself at your lowest point in life and nobody knew." I really started to think about mine. And I scrolled through my camera roll, and here's mine.November 2019. Have you ever seen those images that say: "Be kind, because everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about?" I feel I'm a walking billboard for that. PSA:I live this life that people just can’t really understand until they walk in my shoes. And on a regular basis , I am bound to write something that is going to make people wince…cringe and ‘re-think’ who I am and what I represent and all the other things I didn't ask for. And this is one of those things. There may be some triggers to others in this post. Everyone around me knows our story of Samuel, so of course they knew I was grieving, hurting and struggling.But I don't think anyone ...

Postpartum Depression - the REAL fourth trimester

Have you ever had so much to say but you can't find the right words? Or you have the right words but you can't get them out without breaking into tears? This has been me for the last 4 months. It's been awhile since I've written any blog. And normally I find writing easier then I find talking to one single person. But I haven't been able to bring myself to write out of fear of judgement. Judgement by friends , family, and social media sanctimommies. (evil moms who believe they do no wrong) Have you ever noticed that anything you do as a mom, its always wrong to SOMEONE? The pressure to be perfect and do everything right is just unreal. Society has such unrealistic expectations, and they're not afraid to tell you their opinion. On my last blog, I touched briefly on being diagnosed with Post Partum Depression. That was hard enough to share to the world. But now after living with it for four months, I thought I'd share my experience, and maybe...

Meeting our Trisomy 18 baby: Part 2

click  HERE  for part 1. Soon I felt nothing from the waist down. I lay there looking around for my husband. They told him 10 minutes, but 10 minutes had come and gone, and I couldn't find him. My mind was racing as I looked around. A deep panic set in. I saw the neonatologist to the right of me, and the anesthesiologist to the left of me. I got scared. What if he wasn't breathing when he came out. We would have done this all for nothing. We had already told the doctor any interventions that could be done on my chest were the only ones we wanted. I started panicking and needed to tell the neonatologist that I changed my mind. I got her attention, but before I could even speak, I was instantly crying and struggling to get my words out. I told her if Samuel was struggling, I wanted them to take him to the resuscitation room and do whatever they could to stabalize him. I made this decision without Lee. I felt guilt, but needed to know we could meet Samuel....
