Do I admit that this movie looks, frankly, pretty damn funny? Offensive? I am sure. Inaccurate? Not sure. (I’m guessing yes.) While I am not the biggest fan of Amy Poehler, I hold a soft spot in my heart to Tina Fey, if only because I feel as if we always seemed to be living […]

I didn’t get to see Thomas Beatie on Oprah last week (even though reader Melis gave me a heads up as soon as she saw my post.) But the “world’s first pregnant man”’s appearance on daytime TV has come up in conversations with multiple friends this week. Luckily, I knew the plot, but I thought […]

As you know, I wasn’t planning on watching, “Motherhood at Any Cost,” aka “Infertility According to the Tyra Banks Show,” which aired on Friday. (You might recall my rant about this a few weeks ago.) But I do admit I was curious to hear how it all went down.

It seems that more and more celebrities are celebrating motherhood lately. It also seems that more and more celebrities are becoming comfortable with talking about their struggles to get there. Cindy Margolis wrote a book, Dixie Chicks Martie Maguire and Emily Robison have both spoken freely about their IVF treatments. Sportscaster Michele Tafoya is the […]

So, I was pretty upset by the Tyra Banks Show last week. But I wasn’t the only one. Melissa includes a link to Fertility Notes (thanks!) and several other blogs in her Thursday article for BlogHer entitled Wolves in Duck’s Clothing. And these are just a few of the posts that I have seen in […]
