We can do HARD things!
For the last 7 years, our money has had only one goal: infertility treatments and adoption costs.

Almost all the furniture in our home is […]
My husband and I suffer from infertility. We were diagnosed in 2006. It was rough, brutal even. We walked out of the doctor’s office feeling defeated. We held onto each other in the parking lot and wept. We drove home feeling empty. We sat on the couch and cried and held each other some […]

I vacillated back and forth between letting myself get excited and keeping up walls of protection. I have had a […]
Pink Moss is running around chasing Mr. Handsome. He is fast Lightening fast! So this is what my “boy mom” friends always spoke of. Boundless energy vs. Hormonal changes Now I get to experience both!
