A little over a year ago, my husband and I shared this video with our family and friends. For anyone struggling with infertility, please don’t give up. It’s worth it all. I’m hesitant to post this because I’ve been on the other side – constantly seeing success stories while I was still waiting for mine. But I want to encourage people to keep fighting the good fight. T... Read More »
I went to BlogU this weekend, one of my most favorite weekends of the year because I get to go hang out with other writers and bloggers who are off the chart weird like me.

My alarm goes off and the sun is barely up. The voice in my head tells me it is OK to hit snooze or turn the alarm off and sleep in today. I tell myself it is not a big deal to push my work out to the evening. But then reality reminds me that if I don’t get out of bed at 6 AM, the day will give me a million reasons to skip my work out by time 6 PM rolls around. I grab my pre-workout on my night st...
