Cheating Chilean Miner Reaps What He Sowed
It’s the tragic story everyone’s been talking about: 33 miners have been trapped 2,300 feet below the earth’s surface in a mine located in the northern Chilean city of Copiapo, 500 miles north of Santiago. As if that’s not bad enough, they’ve been down there since August 5th and only 21 have been lifted out as of this afternoon’s rescue. This story is as sad as it is terrifying, and it is debatable whether it’s caused more grief for the miners themselves or for those they’ve left on the surface.

Our Kid’s Education Doesn’t Stop When the Bell Rings
Time flies so fast. I have been out of school for 10+ years and still get back to school jitters. I have children who are now in school. I learn so much from watching my kids learn and grow. At each stage of their journey, you both gain and lose something. My son is definitely not a baby anymore; he suddenly transitioned into a little boy. While I miss my little mushy baby, I adore the little man now standing before me with his unique vernacular. With his backpack ready to take on the world, Im already wondering where the past 4 years went. As he heads off to school, I pray and wonder, how can I help? How can I guide him? Sometimes I feel so lost in how to direct him to his next steps.
How to Parent Teens in Trouble
The teenage years can bring about sudden, surprising changes in your child’s behavior. The girl who was once happy with her appearance may struggle with her weight or develop an eating disorder. Your once happy-go-lucky son may have become angry and rebellious. He may start hanging out with a new, more dangerous crowd or experimenting with drugs. If you sense your teenager is headed down a risky path, reach out to them and provide support before it is too late.
Why I dislike, “To Become Pregnant” Magazine
So it has been a long while since I had been to my fertility doctors office. After the IVF failed in August due to a lack of viable embryos (see Our Journey blog post) my husband and I decided to take a break from fertility. The very next month I needed surgery to remove my gallbladder, a result of a type of birth control pill I was on and all of the pregnancies I had. Then in November I surprisingly and unintentionally got pregnant naturally and went in to see my fertility doctor only to miscarry on Thanksgiving Day.
