"Fast forward to 2026, I’m the one buying the pre-sale movie tickets for the newest Toy Story. I’m the one packing the contraband of candy in my oversized purse and reminding everyone to use the bathroom before we leave the house.

I am now Andy’s mom. And I love it."

"Yes, I know you can purchase boozy popsicles at the store these days. Even though I am not exactly the Martha Stewart type, I was on a mission to come up with an alternative solution and figure out homemade boozy popsicles. I spend a lot of time outside at the pool, swim meets, and baseball games, and these would be the perfect mom treat. A quick search on Amazon and I got 125 Ziploc tubes, just like the cheap ice pops come in, for right around $10."

🍟🍟🍟We are all eating McDonald’s fries today for Brittany!

MY HEART. 🥹🍟💚

Do y’all remember Brittany? She was trying on a romper in the shop during Mardi Gras and shared that she and her husband had just made embryos that very morning and came into Fleurty Girl to pick out a wish gift for their future baby. 🍼

A few days later, she messaged me that they had frozen four day-6 embryos. And today? TODAY IS TRANSFER DAY! 🤞✨

If you've been through IVF, you probably know about the McDonald's fries tradition. Somehow, McDonald’s fries have become the unofficial good luck food on embryo transfer day. So naturally, I'm doing my part and eating McDonald’s fries today for Brittany! 🍟😆

Sending all the prayers, hope, and sticky baby vibes your way today, Brittany! We are all cheering for you and your tiny little embryos! 🙏💚✨
