Sherry gives Ashley a general knowledge pregnancy test! The results are absolutely hilarious! This was meant to see how much Ashley knew about pregnancy and needless to say...it's very little! Ashley is a great friend and we love her so much!

Today Sherry talks about 3 mommy vloggers that she really enjoys! She talks about The Braniff Family from North Carolina, made up of CR, Angela, Kennedy, Shelby, Jonah, Noah, Rosie, Ivy, Amelia, and Benjamin. They are a blended family of biological kids and adopted kids. They chose domestic adoption, international adoption, and embryo adoption! They are an amazing Christian family that homeschools they kids and lives on a farm! They have wonderful children and are just an amazing family to watch. You can find them on Youtube and Instagram at This Gathered Nest. Then she talks about The Swannie Family, made up of Justin, Rachelle, Brynn, Emma, Reuben and Asher. Rachelle is very open about the couples struggle with infertility and the loss of their first born Brynn at 20 weeks. Since her passing they have successfully transferred, through IVF, 3 more children, Emma (2 years old), and Reuben and Asher (twins about 6 months old). It's wonderful to see such a young couple be so open and honest about their struggles with fertility so that maybe other women or couples going through it will have somewhere to feel some sense of belonging. you can find them on Youtube at Rachelle and Justin and on Instagram at Rachelleswannie and Justinswannie. And finally Sherry talks about The Leach Family, however specifically Brittani (the mom) and Crew (the youngest child). In September of 2019 Crew was born and in December of 2019 Crew suddenly and tragically passed away. This story took social media by storm. Since his passing the hashtag #kindnessforcrew has erupted around the world with people doing random acts of kindness in his name to help spread his story. This story was absolutely heart breaking and the internet came together to help support Brittani in this distressing time. However, the small pocket of the internet reared its ugly head and had to say some horrible things to her. I hope we can all remember that saying our mothers taught us as children, "If you don't have anything nice to say dont't say anything at all." You can find Brittani on Youtube at Brittani Boren Leach and also on Instagram at brittaniborenleach.
