As I read Nicole’s post about having difficulty conceiving baby #3 today, my heart truly went out to her! When I was younger (e.g. in my late teens/early-mid 20’s), I dreamt about having children. My “plan” or rather my “dream” at the time was to have plenty of kids by the time I was 25. That plan didn’t work out as planned, but in the end, that is ok! I got married at 27 years of age, in July of 2003. In June of 2004, we successfully conceived my daughter after only 1 month of trying. At the time, a … Continue reading →

This phone has been labelled as rugged – something that a phone owned by a Mom needs to be, yet it looks sleek and sexy as far as this Mom is concerned!
