In a good way.
I was so pleased to see this appear in the online version of today’s Wall Street Journal. The post was in response to this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine which discusses the decline of birth rates and its implications. I LOVE the title of the WSJ post:
One Way to Higher […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A recent study done by Jennifer Bailey and Karl Hill from the University of Washington’s Social Development Research Group found that,
Despite public health campaigns, a surprising number of women continue to use substances such as tobacco, marijuana and alcohol during pregnancy and their usage rebounds to pre-pregnancy levels within two years of having a […]

Now, it’s one thing to not […]
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.
Luckily, Calliope from Creating Motherhood was […]
Angelique asked me a great question the other day, “Does it bother you to see other people’s babies?”
And my answer is no.
I have heard that for some women trying to conceive (TTC) that watching other parents cuddle, soothe, love their infants is nearly maddening. It brings to immediate reality all of the things they […]
Juno is the first movie that’s sparked my interest in a while. Trailers are funny. Topics are relevant (perhaps too close to home for me on some levels). Characters likable. Reviews are good. My MIL loved it. My co-workers – ditto. Bloggers whose opinion I trust like Jade and Pamela Jeanne give it the […]
Spokesmodel and “Queen of the Internet” Cindy Margolis decided to pen Having a Baby…When the Old-Fashioned Way Isn’t Working: Hope and Help for Everyone Facing Infertility because she felt that there was a “lack of first person fertility literature” available to women and couples seeking alternatives and assistance getting pregnant.
At the time of writing, […]
