    On The Road to Planning A Family #ChurchandDwight

    March 3, 2017 /

    You have reached that point where you are ready to start Planning A Family. You feel ready to start a new life together as a family and you are hoping to conceive quickly. OR you are hoping to adopt quickly. But there are a million questions still, and pregnancy isn’t always as easy as it seems on TV. So what do you need to know? My readers here know that I am an adoptive parent, blogger and social media consultant. I community manage a few infertility patient groups. I know more about fertility, infertility and adoption than I do about pregnancy, but I have partnered with Church and Dwight this year,…

    When it Comes to Fertility – Be a Badger #MyInnerPower

    December 15, 2016 /

    Recently someone asked me what my inner power might be…it took a few minutes for me to answer that one. I am hopeful, and I try to be positive, but is that my inner power? What exactly IS an inner power or super power? Is it strength? Is it courage? Yes, but not quite right. Is it faith? Resilience? I think it is a bit of all of that. But, my inner power is also something more than strength, courage, hope, positivity, resilience and faith. Back when I was working in a daily newsroom I had an editor who called me The Badger, because I was stubborn and determined and I…

    IVF Funding Makes Sense for Nova Scotia Infertility Patients #IVF4NS #NSPOLI

    August 4, 2016 /

    IVF funding makes sense for Nova Scotia infertility patients, who are one of the worst served infertility patient groups in Canada. Nova Scotia infertility patients face multiple hurdles accessing care they need in order to build healthy families in the province.   Infertility is a challenge for 1 in 6 couples in Nova Scotia, just as it is in every other province throughout Canada. But Nova Scotians are in fact one of the worst served populations of infertility patients in Canada due to several reasons. Not only is there no funding available for patients to pursue IVF in the province, access to clinics is also poor. That leads to extreme…

    Christina Knows Best – Candide 3 in 1 Pillow Review #Baby

    November 5, 2015 /

    Christina now has a baby girl! That’s great news, right? So life for this new Mom has been a bit busier to say the least. Anyways, a few months ago she was sent the Candide 3 in 1 pillow for review and baby was not yet out of her “baby house” as her Mom called it then, so she used the Candide first as a pregnancy body pillow. Now that baby is here and making her personality and presence known to the world well life, and the Candide, have taken on a different shape. See what I mean when you watch this video. We were sent this for consideration here…

    October 16, 2015 /

    It’s been several weeks since we’ve heard from Christina here and there’s good reason for that! She had her baby! A baby girl. So super exciting. And of course she has been busy getting used to life with baby. BUT, I wanted to share this one with you today, because this is a post she did about Pregnancy Fitness Videos before baby was born.

    August 7, 2015 /

    Alrighty Christina is getting so close to having this baby girl it’s officially super exciting! I can’t wait for everyone to meet her. But in the meantime she’s talking about maternity wear.

Have you seen Christina’s first video for Thrifty Momma’s Tips? Here it is again in case you want something else to watch because maternity wear is fabulous and all but Christina makes me laugh out loud at this review of a Diono changer Do you have any maternity wear thoughts or…

    If getting pregnant is something you’re thinking about, there are a few things you should do to ensure that when you become pregnant, both you and the baby can be as healthy and as happy as possible.

    Introducing My New Contributor – Baby Product Vlogger Christina

    June 10, 2015 /

    I am super excited to share this news with you. As some readers know my girls are in the double digits now. One is a tween and one is a teenager and they keep me every bit as busy as they did when they were small. It’s just a different kind of busy. For a time I had a baby blogger here, but even her babies have grown up a lot. I know this audience still wants to read about baby news and baby products too. I can tell that when I run analytics here sometimes. So how does that work? I can’t authentically write or review baby products when…

    Nine Things We Want You To Know About Infertility – #IVF4ON #ONPOLI

    June 5, 2015 /

    It must be spring because everyone is suddenly pregnant, or posting a photo of their new arrival on Facebook. At this time of year with Spring, plus Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Infertility Awareness Month all wrapped up in one big bundle, family is everywhere. The triggers for infertility patients are seemingly endless. Even I am feeling it this year and we adopted our children 13 years ago. I guess that’s proof the emotions of infertility never go away. With spring comes the constant reminders of people who have suddenly succeeded at getting pregnant. That’s hard for so very many people waiting, or in the process of undergoing treatment for infertility.…
