I find myself cringing just typing it. These past few months have been LOUD with many people claiming to know what is best for women. Some truly do, but some are truly lying. As a Fertility Care Center in Michigan concerned with the health of women, it seems not only prudent but absolutely

I'm too busy to chart. It's just one. more. thing. And it didn't get done again this month. I can't have one more thing on my plate clamoring for my time and attention. How much of this do I actually have to do for it to count? Will it still "work" if I get it done sometimes but not all of the time? You can do this I get it. Life feels nuts right now. I'm right there with you. Here's a slight perspective shift that might help. Have you ever been so busy that you didn't go to

The Lord giveth and He taketh away. Ah, how that hurts right now!! Why can’t that just be about summer to winter or sunrise to sunset. But for some it means something different. For me it meant my unborn child at 13 weeks. For me it's a family member I will never get to physically hold here on earth. For me it's a fourth sibling my kids won’t grow up with. For me it's a pain I will have to have to trust the Lord with and his healing grace. It all started with a positive preg

The more in tune you are with your body and it's normal functions, and the deviations thereof, the more you

We haven't interviewed a client on our blog since last summer and we thought it was time again to check in with some real-life Creighton Model users and ask them about their experience using CrMS. I had the privilege of asking 2 long-time clients of mine about their experience and feedback. Both of these wonderful women have been charting for nearly 5 years. They started using CrMS before marriage and have navigated health challenges, NaPro interventions, babies, miscarriag

We are living in very crazy times *commence head spinning*. Everything seems to be bursting in flames or increasing in price (okay maybe I am being a bit dramatic). Either way life is not the same as it was even 3 years ago. But one thing is still true, date nights are very important to your relationship. You need that time to connect and unwind with your loved one. Unfortunately hitting up your favorite restaurant and a movie may not fit the budget, seriously when did going
