I’m feeling hopeful.We have a new Premier of Ontario. A woman. A gay woman. While I don’t expect her to represent either group in all that she does as Premier, I do hope that she will bring a new perspective, and be open minded to the issues effecting women and infertility. TRUTH: 15% of reproductive age […] Read more…
A discussion started on Twitter last week about Scrapbooking and I had to jump in the conversation to share my experience with this hobby for my first child. It seems that I’m not the only mom who has lived with such guilt over not having the time to do the same special project for my other sons. […] Read more…
We just got back from a fun-filled winter vacation at Fern Resort with the other momstown HQ families. We had such a memorable time with so many activities, we are thankful to have the photos to actually prove how busy we were!

Where our miracle began I can remember the phone call to my mom, telling her that she would finally become a “Nana“! We both sobbed over the phone when I told her that our first round of IVF was successful and that her first grandchild was on the way. Even my Dad (who wasn’t home […] Read more…
On Saturday we planned a family day at Wonderland…it was a rare day that Paul wasn’t working and we were all looking forward to a great day together. We had even talked the boys into going on their FIRST roller coaster! We packed our bags, hid our snacks in the backpack, spritzed with sunscreen and […] Read more…
