What’s happening for infertility patients in Canada? I wish you could see what I hear. Every. Day. I hear some of the saddest stories you can imagine.

Many people I hear from inside infertility groups I help manage, have survived childhood cancer, or they live with a rare gastrointestinal disorder, or they…

You know how it’s challenging to sometimes get the kids outside to play? Well, I have a tween and a teen and these days Minecraft and Pinterest absorb most of their attention when not doing schoolwork. It’s tricky to encourage them to get outside sometimes. Even in the midst of some of the nicest weather ever this summer, well all they wanted to do was play on their iPads, or iPods or computers. So, when toys like Air Archer and Bungee Blast and this awesome Pump Rocket Jump Rocket LED Nightshotz showed up I knew exactly what we’d do with…
