I’d like to think that every post at Fertility Notes is fascinating, scintillating, thought-provoking…but this week, the Health and Wellness channel has asked us to pick our top five. So here are mine - a combination of my favorite, your favorite, most commented, most viewed:

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.
When Cheryl Miller interviewed me for her article in the […]

Living Childfree in the Midst of Mother’s Day

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day.
Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, this fact is painfully clear to you. Did you buy your mom a card? Does she really know how much you love her? Are you as good to your mother as she was to you? Hmmm? Hallmark, the diamond store and […]

Happy Eostre! A Day of Rebirth and a Celebration of Fertility

Or Easter. Or whatever you’re into. Eostre is thought to be the name of an Anglo-Saxon goddess whose feast day was Christianized to Easter:
Eostre represents the re-birth of life and nature after the harsh weather of the winter months. The egg, which may be a symbol of Eostre, is believed to represent that very re-birth.
She […]

Happy Groundhog’s Day - I Guess

As a resident of Punxsutawney Phil’s home state, I wish you a Happy Groundhog’s Day, even though his prediction this year makes me sad:

“As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me.
Six more weeks of winter it will be!”
Sigh.
At this point, it’s hard to separate our regional holiday […]

Does It Bother You to See Other People’s Babies?

Angelique asked me a great question the other day, “Does it bother you to see other people’s babies?”
And my answer is no.

Baby, Let Me Know. You’ll Let Me Know….

Girl hol-la!
If I did this right, you’re listening to Aaliyah’s We Need a Resolution (or will be, once you click Play). Because I’ve been singing it to myself all morning in preparation for this post.

I need some resolutions.
How about these?

Under promise; over deliver.

At work. At home. With friends. With colleagues. With bosses. I am the […]

Poke a Butt Game - Part II

Yesterday, I took my cue from Laura and started digging around my stats to see how folks found Fertility Notes. Here are just a few more interesting search phrases which led them (you?) here:

Happy Boxing Day

Ahh, Boxing Day!
I think I like the day after Christmas even better than the actual holiday. What does one do on Boxing Day? Nothing! Sure, you can lounge around and play with your presents, eat leftovers, head to the pub for a midday beer, but the whole point of the day is to take the […]
