Last week, my mom and I took a break from the snow, ice, and frigid temperatures and jumped on a plane going south to Florida. As we flew into Orlando airport, the anticipation of 80-degree weather was more than we could stand. Actually, I believe at 9:30AM, it was about 75... but close enough. We had a few days of fun and sun ahead of us, but the one thing that was most important to me was getting my mom to The Holy Land Experience. I can remember being a pre-teen and my mom saying "I want ... VIEW POST

Abortion: an Infertile’s Point of View
I have kept quiet on this whole abortion topic, mainly because as an "infertile," this topic is rather heavy to bear.

We both did ours in November, around Thanksgiving time, to alleviate some of the stress that seems to accompany the holidays-- regardless of how prepared you are. Anyone else receiving 8 packages a day? (So sorry to our mail carriers...) We both ordered our Christmas cards through Shutterfly's sister company, TinyPrints.

Faith before the Finish Line
“Hey, sis I want to show you something in this aisle! I found it the other day and thought you and Ash would love these!
