Oh Joy! Time For Repeat IVF Tests
My joyful life includes motherhood. I have always wanted to be a mom. As a little girl I took care of my dolls like they were my real live babies.

Do You Know What Brings You Joy?
Monday!!!! Not many people's favorite day of the week. It does not bother me because I avoid coming down with a case of the Mondays. One way I do that is by using Monday to figure out the week. Most noteworthy that includes penciling in time for things that bring me joy. Do you know what brings you joy? The reason that I ask do you know what brings you joy is because a lot of us don't. I admit that I have been guilty of this in the past. I do online dating and inevitably a new guy … READ MORE
