Options for Fertility Preservation after Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women. Typically affecting older women—the average age is 63—another subset of the female population can develop the condition at a much younger age. The research says that 1 in 10 women will develop a cancer during their childbearing years and for those who develop ovarian cancer, special consideration must be given to protecting a woman’s eggs or reproductive tissue. Cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation can dramatically effects or eliminate a woman’s ability to have biological children later.

I Am So Bored!!

The Rocky Workout!!
This video is too funny not to share!! Not to mention the fact that I just don’t feel like writing! So enjoy!!!! Great! The Rocky Workout video is gone. So, instead: Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨ Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral. Welcome to my glamorous life. Recently, I decided it was time…

Starting with the most important feature is the Kid Safe Volume Limiting…

Here Comes The Bride!!
Nooooo, I’m not getting married. And neither is my adorable model 5-year-old Alice. But this dress made Alice feel like a bride! So much so that we spent an entire afternoon making the living-room bride central. We started with Alice’s pretend make up set where I channeled my inner Bobbi Brown and did her subtle makeup to make her inner beauty shine. (Am I good or WHAT!!??) Alice would hold the mirror as I applied her makeup. I would say ‘do you see how this color brings out your eye color?’ Alice actually SAW color and would say “YOU are RIGHT!” I love, love, LOVE imagination play!! When Alice’s makeup…
