Being a working, married woman, it’s sometimes hard to avoid questions about whether or not we are planning to have kids – and if so, will I continue to work?  You would be surprised (or maybe you wouldn’t!) at how many people feel comfortable asking you that question.  And, honestly, it’s a hard one to answer.  [...]

Crafty Kids: Pinecone Santa

Growing up, my mom’s family always had the tradition of making gifts for extended family for Christmas.  That way, everyone didn’t have to buy presents for all of the aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, etc. – but we could still give each other a little something. One year, my mom and I made these for [...]

Prepping for Preggers: What if…

A lot of hesitation around deciding to have children really does revolve around all of the “what if’s”.  One of the big “what-if’s” that won’t go away is – what if we can’t have kids?  I just recently stumbled across this awesome and personal record of a woman’s struggle with getting pregnant on Joanna Goddard’s [...]

Prepping for Preggers: The Age Issue

A few weeks ago, I opened up a bit of a can of worms with my post about ‘How do you know when you’re ready’.  After that entry was published, I kind of sat back and said to myself…’Ok, now what?’.  This week I’m going to focus on the weird sense that the age of [...]

Prepping for Preggers: How do you know when you’re ready?

As Lauren said, there definitely seems to be an ever growing trend of my friends jumping on the pregnant-train.  With every new baby I meet, hold, play with, I start to become increasingly sensitive to the question – How do you know when you’re ready?  I know the best answer to that question is “you’re [...]
