Circle+Bloom


Susan over at Circle + Bloom™ was so awesome to let Army Wife Post try out her great fertility programs. I have been sharing the information with my friends, but wanted to tell you guys all about it too!

Circle+Bloom has multiple meditation CD's available for purchase or download. It is super quick to decide Circle+Bloom is awesome and to quickly download it and get started. Here is the buzz:

My cycles are EXTREMELY crazy. Sometimes they are normal (30ish days) and sometimes like the last it is more like 45 looong days. I have been using Circle+Bloom's Natural Cycle for Fertility Program:


It includes twenty-eight unique audio meditations that are fifteen minutes each. If you are a
"regular girl" this is perfect for you. If you are not one of those blessed vixens that is okay too because Susan is amazing at what she does! I listened to repeat days for days at a time just guessing where I was in my cycle. I took the fifteen minutes each day for myself to just lay there in bed and relax before I got up for the day. Sidenote: Next time I will do this BEFORE I go to sleep for the night as I was always so calm and relaxed that bed instead of work sounded better.

I feel like my life is full of stress and not just the stress of getting pregnant, but my job, school, the FRG, volunteering, wives group, etc etc etc. This fifteen minutes each day allowed me to focus on ME! and not everything else. I also couldn't believe how great I was at switching my mind to focusing on me and the relaxation of my body instead of thinking about typing six pages for a paper, running J lunch, picking up packets for work, etc.

Now let's say you aren't trying to get pregnant like me....who doesn't want babies? ha ha. Circle+Bloom has something for you too! Happy Mind and Healthy Body focuses on a better you and even what any of us need...a Blissful Sleep Program plus so much more!

Susan was also kind enough to let me stock my iPod with meditation program for an IUI/IVF program cycle. I am so antsy to start not only our IVF cycle but that as well to keep me relaxed and hopefully worry free!

One more thing!!! I love Circle+Bloom so much I keep imagining where else I can use the programs. Maybe I can start having sleeping problems so I can use her blissful sleep program ha ha or when I get pregnant (one day!) I can try the one she has made for pregnant women. Genius!

Ohh wait even ONE more thing!!! Susan and Circle+Bloom love the military :) Love it SO much that if you go there and enter the coupon code "military30" at checkout you will be relaxing even more with 30% off EVERYTHING!

Do it and come back and tell me you loved every minute of it :)

TV, newspapers, magazines, oh my!

In between the craziness of work, school, FRG, wives club, and anything else I can fit on my plate we have been super busy doing press stuff for TLC. I never realized how time consuming that would end up being, but we have made such great friends out of it and have meet some pretty awesome people in our same situation.

We have had great feedback and articles/videos/news pieces done for us and we did our first live TV show the other day. Ohh gosh was I a nervous wreck! Not so much about the live TV part, but more so about J being raw and uncut lol. We have gotten use to being able to start over on camera because we know it will be cut or edited out. However, it did turn out okay with not many mistakes although it has been our least favorite piece of press yet.

Our friends have started an IVF Support Page for us. They have been pretty great about keeping people up to date on what we are doing and we just had someone start a fundraiser through Scentsy for us. We are so blessed to have such awesome friends! Now onto the find of the day/week/month/months...

Infertility Mother Hope Hand Stamped Custom Personalized Charm Necklace by Three Little Pixies Boutique

I found this little gem as I was "browsing" Etsy (like always). Not much is made in the way of all the cute stamped jewelry these days for infertility. It actually brought tears to my eyes when I saw it (true sign of having to have something ha ha) and after my mom saw it she knew it had to be mine too. So she surprised me with purchasing it. :)

I bet it is even cuter in person,
