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.
I explained about house sales and finding a new school and new doctors and new friends in this new location, and finally, she agreed that maybe it wasn’t very realistic. Especially because Josh’s job was back here in the city, three hours away.

Mother's Day is often that special time of year where you get a little card and some extra hugs, but no matter how hard we wish it all away all the grunt work is still there. Sometimes, even, the dishes may seem a little dirtier; the little ones, a wee bit brattier. Maybe the kids still want to play their videogames and ignore you and yet you still have to cook dinner and pick up the seemingly never-ending trail of Cheerios carelessly dropped all over the kitchen floor.
