Have A Joyfully Safe Summer
June is almost over. Before you flip the page on your puppies and kittens hanging calendar ( I know I'm not the only person who has one) let me remind you that June is National Safety Month. I am reminding you because I want all of us to have Joyful summers without any mishaps. Plus, I was not even aware that it was National Safety Month until I received a reminder email from the good folks from the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance.

Baby Making Update: A Bumpy Start to IUI #3
If at first or second you don't succeed try and try again. That's what I am doing. My first and second IUIs were unsuccessful so I am trying again. This trying to conceive thing is no joke.

This time the app showed that I ovulated the same day as the IUI. That is great timing much better than the first time. I was a nervous wreck during the two … READ MORE
Can I Turn In My Independent Woman Card?
"I, N, D, E, P, E, N, D, E, N, T do you know what that means? She got her own house. Got her own car. Two jobs. Works hard. She a bad broad!" Do yall know that song from a few years ago. I loved it because the woman they were describing sounded like me. I enjoyed this label of independent woman. But i have to admit I'm not as in love with my independence as I once was. Don't get me wrong, I love the aspect of my independence that led me to become educated and … READ MORE
