Keeping (or NOT keeping) the faith

Repro cocktails, anyone?

The doctor doesn’t want to do more tests right now. He wants to try a combo of Femara (Letrazole) and Follistim (an injectable). Fertility bloggers, spill what you know. Anyone been on this combo?

All manner of quick breads (pumpkin and banana bread, blueberry muffins, oat bran muffins, corn [...]

I’d never heard Melissa Ferrick, but I got the impression that her music was Indigo Girls-ish, and I figured I’d like it. After the first couple of songs it occurred to me that while [...]

Go Colts

When you say, “Go Colts,” what are you cheering? I believe the Colts are worthy of our cheers, but I often wonder what all the screaming is about. I believe the Colts are champions not only because they won the Super Bowl, but because of their journey to become champions.
