“Celebrity Week” at the Health & Wellness Channel Begins Tomorrow

Who doesn’t peruse the People Magazine while waiting in line at the grocery checkout? Who doesn’t pick up an Us Magazine or its ilk when waiting to be called at the dentist? Even if you don’t subscribe, you still sneak some peeks at what so and so is doing or who you know who is […]

Really? That’s All It Costs?

It is really quite interesting how shelling out for infertility treatments absolutely skews your perception of money. At least it does for me.
Now that I am used to seeing credit card statements (Yes, plural) In the 5-digit range, I am pretty unfazed about the costs of other things. That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped clipping my […]

“Oops, I forgot to have a baby!”

Somebody buy me this. Please.
I stumbled across this site, utterly by accident and now I want everything they have in stock.
What’s even better than the bumper sticker? It’s description:
Barren. We love that phrase! Dripping with piteous condescension, really.
The Oops I Forgot to Have a Baby Store caters primarily to those living childfree, by choice […]

Fertility in History - Happy Anniversary (to the Head of) Anne Boleyn

Today is a memorable day for you, Lady Anne. After a brief marriage and far too many miscarriages and missed chances to provide your husband a […]

The Best Cool Mom Blogs (According to Me)

Just because I’m not a fan of Mother’s Day doesn’t mean I don’t love the moms. I loves the moms. I love the mom bloggers - especially those that remind me that I can still have a life after (hopefully) popping one or two out.

A New Mom in the Neighborhood

I am sitting on my apartment’s back porch (essentially a perch a little larger than a fire escape) typing this as quietly as I can. I think I may be witnessing the miracle of life just a few feet away from me.
Last month a mourning dove took residence in our neighbor’s neglected flower box and […]

Oh Wait…Are We Sure We Want to Do This?

Sometimes there are events or scenarios that give me pause, make me rethink this whole “having a baby” thing.
This weekend was host to one of those scenarios.
Not the main event - that was a baptism of one of our family members. That portion of the weekend was very nice and family-affirming, even with a mandatory […]
