My favorite thing about doing a clear album is is that you get to use both sides of double sided paper at once. There is just no waste. Nearly every product in this album is by Prima, the paper is their Tea & Silk line. The lettering is the new Quickutz Chopsticks font.

The Fertility Journal: A Mothertalk Book review

Kim Hahn, the founder of Conceive Magazine, and Geoffrey Sher, a pioneer in reproductive medicine have teamed up to create The Fertility Journal, a comprehensive guide to getting pregnant. The book is very helpful in understanding basic fertility issues and in helping a couple understand all of the physical fluxuations that are essential for conception. It is designed as a journal with a place for the reader to chat her progress and keep track of her own understanding of her body’s cycles. I liked that it was spiral bound, easy to write in, and that the spaces availible for notations were big enough to write a sufficient amount of information in. It also covers a full year, with fertility issues becoming more complex and guiding a couple into the deeper medicine of fertility treatments if that becomes neccesary.

Over all, I thought it was a useful tool, and nice to have all of that information in one concise place, along with having a place to put your personal information. For a woman trying to concieve or even just trying to better understand her own rhythms, this one is a keeper.
