About Me

Hiya! I'm Lydia. I live in Iowa with my husband and two children, both the result of iVF. I started this blog in 2011. Since then, my priorities have shifted away from writing and toward other things. I'm leaving most of the content up here, in case it's helpful for those who stumble across it.
