Motherhoodwinked – An Infertility Memoir
Price: FREE
I bought this book as I wanted to better understand what my friends in a similar situation are going through. The author’s honesty and openness really brought home the pain and desperation couples in this situation must be feeling, no matter how they outwardly appear. Humbled and inspired by the author’s strong character and determination, I hope that one day this couple’s dreams come true – they deserve it. For me this is a must read for those who would like to understand and support family and friends who are having this same experience.
Named for the frustration Anne-Marie felt when realizing that becoming a mother was not a given and that IVF was not a guaranteed ‘Plan B’, Motherhoodwinked documents the pain and the shame of life as an infertile woman.
But Motherhoodwinked is more than just another trying to conceive memoir, it is an important social commentary on the impact infertility has on the lives of those going through it and how the modern digital age has both helped and hindered the journey.
With heartbreaking honesty Anne-Marie takes us on a journey from her initial optimism and excitement at finally trying for a baby and fulfilling her lifelong dream to become a mother, through to her increasingly complex pregnancy plan, her experiments with holistic therapies, the NaPro program and finally her experience with ICSI and IVF.
Sometimes sad, sometimes laugh out loud funny Motherhoodwinked offers both couples going through infertility and their support networks coping skills for how to survive this lonely journey, that actually affects one in six couples.

I love to bake and I am always looking to add a worthy cookbook to my collection. This time of year is all about pies for me: from fruit to cream to custard. I am loving the ones in this new book. I have never done much with mini-pies because, in my opinion it looked like 12x the amount of work as one full-size pie, but the author of this book carefully breaks down the steps of prep, assembly, baking, and clean-up which allowed me to try my first mini-pie (blueberry mini-pie) and it was wonderfully delicious! I highly recommend this cookbook.
Join the mini pie explosion! Bite size mini pies are all the rage. The teeny tiny pies are so easy to eat and portion control is built in. These little baked goods are cute displayed in cupcake racks or put together into a shape like a Christmas tree for holiday parties. They make perfect party hors-d’oeuvres since they are finger food. And they are fun to make and can be made in advance of your get together.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginning baker, you’ll find recipes your family will be asking for again and again. You’ll also learn how to create mini pies from your standard pie recipes. Mini pies are a great way to serve a crowd and are perfect gifts for the holidays.
