January 20, 2017 Why I March: Because Infertility and Pregnancy Loss Matter. Because Infertility and Pregnancy Loss Rights are Reproductive Rights. And also, in no particular order: Because Donald Trump is vile and grossly unqualified to be president....

January 9, 2017 Anyone thinking about or doing IVF faces incredibly complex decisions at every single step. "How many should we transfer?" is just one, and this new study, indicating that there is a better chance for success transferring one embryo than two, is...

January 4, 2017 The house of a close neighbor and Jack’s good friend had a fire yesterday. Everyone is ok, including pets. Jack was there when it started (correlation, not causation). The house is pretty bad. These are nice people who voted for Trump. Jack’s friend is...

December 16, 2016 Caught some shit about my email to my daughter's class yesterday. (Not supposed to use school email for non-school issues.) From parents of children who go to school at a TEMPLE, and apparently can't connect dots. Okay, ouch, lesson learned. The...
December 15, 2016 For sake of time and ease, I am sharing my email to my daughter's preschool class here for any other local peeps interested. I hope you will join me! (And I didn't send them the picture, that's just for you. 😉 ) Hi Hippo Families, I have spoken with...
December 11, 2016 Did John Kasich veto the “Heartbeat Bill?” Yes. Is this good for reproductive rights? Yes. Did John Kasich also just sign a 20-week abortion ban? Yes. Is this a setback for reproductive rights? Yes. Do you know anyone seeking a 20+ week abortion who...
December 10, 2016 This was my response to a post/comment regarding how to fight Trump that I appreciated and am very much with, but also felt the need to add to regarding her statement, "decided my way to affect change is to be a little nicer in the outside world." It...
December 4, 2016 Jennifer Weiner and I have been besties for a long time now, even though she STILL doesn’t know it! So of course I was tha-rilled when I found out about her memoir. Singing voice here: Love-ed it! Listen. I am thin. I don’t love Jen because I’m...
December 4, 2016 Speaking of love: Also finished: Making Faces by Amy Harmon This was a book club pick and fabulous love story. I adored the characters—sweet, smart, sensitive Fern; Ambrose, who went off to war with a conventionally beautiful face and came home...
December 4, 2016 Finished: Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton This book was on my list before Oprah picked it, and I wasn’t surprised when she did. It’s a very brave, pretty amazing memoir, and O and G make a great team. I relate to sooo much in this book, as a...
December 4, 2016 Finished: Two Eggs, Two Kids by Alicia Young Few gifts can compare to donating eggs to a person or couple struggling to have a baby. Journalist/Author Alicia Young gave that gift to two friends, and in this book, has given another gift to anyone...
November 27, 2016 Reading, Writing, and Reproductive Support and Empowerment are what I’ve always been about here, and that hasn’t changed. A few of my guiding principles have, however, and if you’re interested, you can read more fully about that here. The CliffsNotes...
November 27, 2016 This is one way I figured out I’m a writer. These times I’m rendered useless, my thoughts swarming around unrelentingly in my head, distracting me from kids, friends, books, whatever, until I finally say, Okay, okay! and sit myself down to get it all...
November 19, 2016 A fantastic morning at The 1st Annual Remembrance Walk for Babies Gone Too Soon. It means so much to me to have this here in Stuart, where I had felt so alone for so long. The HUGEST THANK YOU to Christina Pereira Stamper and Madison's Miracles, who...
