To The Woman Who Wants A Baby…

This post is sponsored by First Response. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

To The Woman Who Wants A Baby…

I see you.

I think of you as I see joy filled pregnancy announcements and wonder how you are coping.

I know it’s not easy.

I know it’s hard to attend baby showers when your heart is aching.

I know it’s hard to see babies all around you and desperately want one of your own to hold.

I have read the stories and heard the struggles.

Know that you are seen. You are heard. You are NOT forgotten.

While I have not walked this road personally, it is something that has deeply marked my heart. I have many close friends that I have begged and pleaded with God to bless with motherhood.

Know that I am fighting for you the only way I know how… to pray and raise awareness.

You are LOVED. You are SEEN. You MATTER.

I will not tell you to “relax”, I will not tell you “it will happen”. My words can’t soothe your pain and heartache. But, I will tell you that I’m here. I’m here thinking of you. I’m here to hold your hand. And, use my blog to share awareness.

For over 30 years, First Response™ has been trusted by millions of women through their journeys of trying-to-conceive. They promise to be there in the most important moments of your life – leveraging the most advanced science to deliver fast and accurate results while creating innovative products.

There are countless products on the market today to make navigating pregnancy more seamless. From ovulation kits, ovulation devices, to sperm analyzers, and even modern pregnancy tests such as First Response. Countless women struggle for years with no explanation and others have never ending hurdles while trying to conceive. I hope to simply share a few products that may be of help in your journey.

First Response Simple Ovulation Plus Pregnancy Test Kit

With First Response Simple Ovulation Plus Pregnancy Test Kit, you can maximize your chances of getting pregnant by accurately predicting your most fertile days, so you can make the most of your prime conception time. Each First Response Simple Ovulation Plus Pregnancy Test Kit contains enough ovulation sticks for a full week of testing and gives you easy-to-read results in just minutes. The ovulation test is over 99% accurate in laboratory studies in detecting the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in your urine. This LH surge indicates when you’re most fertile and likely to conceive. The kit also includes a First Response™ Early Result Pregnancy Test for the end of your cycle that is over 99% accurate from the day of your expected period. It gives you results in 3 minutes and can also tell you 6 days sooner than your missed period.

Pre-Seed Fertility-Friendly Personal Lubricant

Whether you’re actively trying to get pregnant or allowing pregnancy to happen in its own time, its a good idea to be sure your lubricant is helping your chances, not hurting them. While lubricants enhance comfort and intimacy, many decrease the chance of conception by impairing sperm motility or damaging sperm vitality. With Pre-Seed Fertility-Friendly Lubricant  you can be confident you’re using the right lube when trying for a baby, because it is recommended by fertility experts and used in fertility clinics. It was also specifically developed by a sperm physiologist.

This post is for all women trying to conceive and those struggling on a daily basis. I want you to know that miracles happen each and every day and that so many people are fighting with you in whatever way they can – it might be through the development of innovative products like the First Response Simple Ovulation Kit or through the writing of a blog post to raise awareness.

  • ✏️✨ Stop stressing about a last minute teacher appreciation gift - this cute one will arrive before the end of the week!

🙌🏻 COMMENT “shop” for the links.

I threw together the easiest teacher gift idea and it turned out so cute— a key fob🔑, hand sanitizer with a holder, a gift card (because we always need coffee ☕️), and a printable tag to tie it all together.

💕or save this for an end of year teacher gift because you will need one again.

 + send to a mom who forgot teacher appreciation week too 😂

  • #ad #HERDEZBrandPartner This might be my new favorite way to do dinner lately (especially when hosting!) 🙌🏼

I grabbed the new HERDEZ® Pollo Asado Marinade Mild from the salsa aisle at Walmart and it made this whole meal SO easy. Just marinate, cook, and you’ve got the most flavorful chicken ready in 30 minutes 👏🏼

I turned it into a simple charcuterie-style board with rice, beans, corn, avocado, chips + salsa so everyone could build their own rice bowls—and it ended up being one of those dinners where we actually all sat and enjoyed it together (you know those don’t happen every night 😂).

It’s bold, foolproof, and perfect for chicken, steak, or whatever you have on hand. Real Mexican flavor made simple!

  • The Run for the Rosé Derby party at @guardandgracehouston last night was so fun! 🌺

These are freezer staples. They’re quick, kid-approved, and so easy to turn into something fun—whether it’s a snack board, after-school bite, or little movie night moment 💛

Made with no antibiotics ever, 100% all natural, plus 9g protein and Omega-3s… so I feel just as good serving them as my kids do eating them 🙌🏻
