4 New Words You Never Want to Hear: The Cancer Came Back

Emily, the day before what would be her third surgery.

You may have read my story about Emily, my daughter who was diagnosed with cancer this past September. Her tumor was taken out and we left the hospital without needing chemotherapy. She was having regular check-ups and scans, but there was a 15% chance the cancer would come back. I tried not to obsess over the 15%, but I did. Every time Emily was having fun at something, I would think such thoughts as, “What if she can’t enjoy this next year?” I kept telling myself to live in the moment–she was having monthly check-ups and bi-monthly CT scans–if it came back, it would be found and treated right away. And then, just as I was getting better about not thinking about it, that’s when it happened. Guess who fell into that 15% range? Read More…

Lose the Granny Panties: It’s Time to Update to Sexy, Empowering Lingerie

I am the absolute worst about updating my underwear. Seriously, the sexiest thing I have are nighties from my bridal shower (which was ten years ago) and my set of Hanky Panky’s which are three years old and have been worn so many times that are practically falling off me. What’s a woman to do? Enlist some help–Breezy Mama tracked down Lauren Rich, of RICHPR, who represents several lingerie companies and hence, knows a thing or two about the subject. And now, I bring you Lauren. . .

Secondary Infertility, Fertility treatments and One Mom’s Firsthand Experience

The Wooton Kids: (from left) Finley, Hudson, and baby Ford

A friend who is in her 20’s recently told me she’s going to wait until she’s 40 to start having babies. Sure, there’s Nicole Kidman who delivered her first baby at age 41 and Halle Berry at age 42 and Madonna delivered her second child at age 42 and so. Many. More. Over 40 women who have graced countless magazine covers giving women the false perception that they can hold off on having that first or second baby for as lonnggg as they want.

The truth of the matter is, once a woman hits her 30’s, her chances of conceiving drop to 15-20% according to Medicine Net and, “It does drop significantly after age 35.” According to an article posted on infertility on About.com, “At age 40, your chance of getting pregnant in any given month is just 5%.”

For those that didn’t find The One until later in life or simply found out the hard way — whether age was a factor or not — it wasn’t easy (or even possible) to get pregnant the first or second time around after years of being warned to the contrary, it can be an uphill battle. Shira Kfir, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialty in Reproductive Medicine and Women’s issues, discusses secondary infertility, the latest options for couples hoping to conceive, what’s involved, and the costs as well as options if it doesn’t happen. First, one mom shares her own emotional journey with secondary infertility and the impact it had on her personal religious beliefs as well. Read More…

Delish Dish: Greek Cabbage Salad

I recently posted my Grandmother’s chili recipe that I love to cook for occasions when you need to fill a lot of tummies and don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. What’s always accompanying the chili? This salad. Originally the recipe from two old friends, Breezy Mama Jenny and her twin, Sarah, I always pull it out of my back pocket when I need some greens, quick. –Alex

Breezy Mama Braves the Flames of Kell on Earth's Kelly Cutrone

Remember on The City when Whitney’s boss Kelly at the fashion PR house People’s Revolution asked that uber-skinny model if she was okay and told her she really should eat something? Or all the times Lauren got scolded by Kelly on The Hills? Or the time Kelly made Lauren fire She-Pratt? Juicy! And oh so much fun to watch. Just ask the television station Bravo because they are doing an entire show starting on Monday, Feb 1, based on her called: Kell on Earth. Yep, known first for being a hard core head honcho to Lauren on The Hills and later spending the majority of her time in charge at her NY offices with Whitney in tow, the take-no-prisoners-boss Kelly Cutrone now has her own show that will chronicle just how down and dirty she can be, but also show her life as a single mom. Um, an entire show because she’s gnarly? Um, was I slightly afraid to approach her for an interview? You betcha! Braving the flames of Kell, Breezy Mama got the scoop on her new show, how HER mom feels about her nasty ways, whether we’ll see any The Hills or The City crossovers and more. Read More…
