Melissa Ford is a blogger who people love for her honesty above all. Her blog Stirrup Queens gets a lot of traffic and it's easy to see why.
As one fan says: "She's funny and is honest about the struggle with infertility in a relatable way. She makes it less of a taboo." Thank goodness there are bloggers like her. Here is her post in honor of Mother's Day:
We were driving to a friend’s house when my daughter suggested that we move to the beach much in the same tone she uses to suggest that we have pizza for dinner or watch the Muppet Show before bed. Low-impact decisions.

Aww. Isn’t it just adorable when kids try to say one thing and end up saying something completely different? Every mama has some embarrassing story to hold on to and conveniently relive when their babies turn into teenagers.
