Postive Polly

In my daily life as a teacher, I am constantly reminding my students to be positive. They often ask me how I am always so happy & optimistic … and I explain that there is little I have to be unhappy about. There are tons of people who have it way worse than I do, [...]

The dark time

This is always the dark time of the month. BFNs, then AF…It’s the time of month that I am the most down about TTC. I feel every moment of the journey weighting me down. Usually as ovulation approaches, I manage to shake off these feelings and start again. I imagine that in a week I’ll [...]

Finally, starting again

First of all, sorry its taken me awhile to write another post, I have had a crazy couple of weeks. To start with, my house was broken into and we lost about $15000 worth of stuff…including a $7000 dirtbike which was not covered under insurance. And then to make matters worse, I have been so [...]
