NaCoLeavMo Begins Today!

Friendly reminder: NaCoLeavMo begins today.

The what you say? That’s not a word. Did she make that sh*t up? I didn’t, but Mel at Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters did.

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

Fertility Notes Joins Bloggers Unite for Human Rights

May 15 is Bloggers Unite for Human Rights Day. I hate feeling left out, so Fertility Notes has joined the charge!

The Best Cool Mom Blogs (According to Me)

The Kentucky Derby - Contrasting Joy and Loss
