    Thank you for sharing the link to Fruitful! As a proud mommy to an IVF miracle, it means a great deal to me to see women like you advocating for the infertility community.

    Hi Belle! None of the Dillards links are working – they all take me to the main page of their website. Thanks for all your hard work on this blog! Much appreciated.

    The last link “Sarah’s latest travel post about Morocco” is sending me to a pin of the tassel earrings you posted about earlier.

    Thank you for sharing the link to Fruitful. I’m a happy mom of 2 via adoption, but man, it was a tough road through infertility. I will share this with others and consider mentoring.

    About the phone use on vacation, I don’t even think it’s peoples’ work email that’s the issue. I was just in Maui and nearly everyone at our 5 star resort was sitting at the pool all day, scrolling mindlessly on their phones. Not a lot of tapping away at emails or getting up to take calls where it was quieter. And many of the women were moms who, statistically, probably don’t even have jobs. It was all really sad– they were ignoring their kids, their spouses, friends, the ocean, skipping the snorkeling and the view. On the first day I decided to leave my phone in the room unless I needed it to navigate while on an outing. It really helped. Oh and I literally left my work phone at home in LA. Work was still here when I got back.
