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.
What’s it all about? It’s National Comment Leaving Month (the national refers to wherever you are reading) from May 25th to June 25th. A full […]
And a big thank you goes to Alicia at Mental Health Notes for hosting this month’s theme. Be sure to visit Alicia to see a review of the first set of posts (including mine at Fertility Notes) from around the channel and how they connect with your mental well being. Stop by Daily Tomorrow for […]
This weekend, my friend shared this looong Washington Post article with me (thanks, S.) Liza Mundy’s article entitled Maternal Truths explores pre-baby exploits and whither or not to share said exploits with your kids:
Likely, few children would think to ask their mom if she appeared in her birthday suit, or portions of it, in public…But […]
I love that I am finally mature enough to appreciate, nay embrace, the opportunity to hang out with a ton of cool women congregated together in one room.
The occasion? A local fundraiser for the Pennsylvania Women’s Campaign Fund (PWCF). While not as large as this event, it was an equally magical moment for me. Some […]
What did she say?
I said, NaComLeavMo! In other words, it’s National Leave a Comment Month, officially declared by Mel over at Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters. The rules? Between May 25 and June 25, your goal is to leave 5 comments a day and if you have a blog of your own, respond […]
A few months ago, I wrote about having a perfect opportunity to talk about infertility with another young woman. Like a fool, I let it slip away.
Believe it or not, the opportunity presented itself again. This time, I took it.
And it was so much easier than I thought it would be.
This time, we were […]
If you already read Kids Health Notes, you know Grace is a smart cookie. Well, she came up with another great idea and asked the Health and Wellness bloggers to round up their favorite posts from the month of April. Here are mine!
Oh Wait, Are We Sure We Want to Do This? - Second thoughts […]
I did it.
I took Healthbolt’s Vitality Compass Challenge.
In fact, I actually took it twice. Once including my cancer diagnosis (even though it was 20+ years ago) in my answers; the second time not. Confessing my cancer actually gave me a lesser “biological age” (27.5 vs. 28.7). Both are younger than I am so I am […]
I can’t recall if I’ve told you, but after my second BFN (big fat negative), we agreed to more tests to see what the heck is going on down there. My doctor’s first request was for a hysteroscopy and an endometrial biopsy.
For (lack of) insurance reasons, the hysteroscopy was downgraded to a sonohysterogram (SHG), similar […]
Last year, a bipartisan group of U.S. Representatives introduced the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act, a piece of legislation which would provide critical resources for the treatment, prevention and cure of childhood cancer.
According to www.CureSearch.org,
more than 12,500 children who are diagnosed with cancer each year. Over 40,000 children and adolescents currently are being treated for […]
