Summer Reading

Written by Beth    Friday, 07 May 2010 00:00    PDF Print E-mail

 

I love the web, and I can’t wait to get an iPad, but I have to admit that at heart I’m an old-fashioned print person. My husband is a university English professor, so you can imagine how full of books, literary journals, and magazines our house is. (I’d be embarrassed to tell you how many magazines I subscribe to—it’s an addiction!)

Happy Halloween, Conceive Style

Written by Emily    Tuesday, 27 October 2009 09:26    PDF Print E-mail
Remember how much fun Halloween was when you were a kid? I loved picking out a costume. And the excitement come October 31 was almost too much for me to handle. After hitting up all the houses in the neighborhood I would dump everything out on the family room floor to see what goodies I had collected. (I was the type of kid who would ration my own candy in order to make it last for months!) Good times.

Magic Numbers

Written by Beth    Friday, 25 September 2009 08:56    PDF Print E-mail
When I hit age 25 and wasn’t married yet, people started to ask me when I was “finally” going to get hitched. Then after I was married, they wondered when my husband and I  would finally have a baby. And the questions didn’t stop after my son was born (I was 38). They just switched to, “When are you going to have another?” One woman actually told me, when my son was still a baby, that I had to have another one, “because a couple with a child is just a couple with a child, but a couple with two children is a family.” That’s an awfully narrow definition, and one I don’t subscribe to at all.  
 

Lather, Rinse, Repeat: Fertility-Friendly Body Products

Written by Emily    Thursday, 17 September 2009 00:00    PDF Print E-mail
If you're anything like me, then using as many all-natural body products as possible is important. I could stand in the bodycare aisle of a store for a good 30 minutes reading ingredients to make sure there are no crazy chemicals in my lotions, shampoos, face creams, etc. that could lead to fertility problems down the line.
