Me while 8 months pregnant with Kenzie :)

Raising children is one of the most difficult yet rewarding jobs a person can ever undertake - and for some, the process of trying to conceive is a difficult task as well. While getting pregnant was a fairly easy thing for me {I happened to get pregnant by accident, I mean, not on purpose, on 3 different occasions}, I do know there are a few things you can do to help the process a bit.

PLANNING to Conceive? Astroglide TTC Can Help!

Astroglide TTC™ sponsored this blog post. The opinions and text are all mine

My oldest and I were trying to share a picture that would show a lip color on two different complexions - my two youngest refused to be left out of the photo sesh. This is the perfect depiction of what life is like with my beautiful babies!

I have 3 beautiful daughters - the oldest just turned 15 - so while I won't claim to be an expert on conception, I can say I have some experience. The thing is, as we have watched couples around us plan {and even struggle} to get pregnant, my hubby and I have at times felt a tad bit guilty. You see, planning to get pregnant was never really a factor for us. Getting pregnant was something that just happened to us - and for that we are eternally grateful. That doesn't mean that I'm not sensitive to the difficulty that some may have with conceiving. And to a certain extent, I may be a little jealous of my friends that had the foresight to plan for their children's conception.
