Tomorrow marks the third blogiversary of Life Without Baby! Three years ago, I sat on the patio of a little café in Wine Country, I ordered a dozen oysters and a glass of sparkling wine, and I wrote my first blog post. My, how time has flown.
For the sake of my health I am writing this post from the couch in my office and drinking tea rather than champagne, but it’s fun to reflect back on the past three years and see how far the blog has come, and how far I have come on my own journey.
I’m thinking of all the people who’ve come and gone from the blog over the years, those who’ve stayed, and those who’ve become good friends. I’m thinking about the 808 posts, 359, 577 visits, and 5,594 comments that the blog has accrued, and it makes me smile.
So, maybe it is cause to crack open the champagne after all. In fact, I’ve decided to throw a party to celebrate. And as with any good party, there’ll be presents.
If you’d like your very own copy of my book, I’m Taking My Eggs and Going Home: How One Woman Dared to Say No to Motherhood (or you’d like to give one to someone else) you download a free copy in whichever e-format you like from Smashwords. Just use the coupon code EJ59W.
In addition, several people have expressed an interest in the new Road Map to Healing program, but don’t have the resources to pay, so I’m also offering a Pay-What-You-Can donation option. Registration is normally $159, but this weekend you can sign up for whatever amount you can afford to pay (although, I’m asking that you consider a donation of at least $30.)
You can learn more about that program here, then if you’d like to enroll, please use this link, not the registration link on that page.
Both these presents are only available for the blogiversary weekend only, so if you want to get yours, please do so before the end of Sunday.
Oh, and if you’d like to bring your own blogiversary present to the party, the best thing you could give me would be to write a glowing review for my book on Amazon. It’s about the most valuable gift a writer could ask for.
So, thanks for all your support these past three years, and I do hope you’ll get yourself a present to celebrate.
Happy Blogiversary!! This site has helped me tremendously in my own healing journey; for months I searched high and low for a safe haven where I could be brutally honest and just… be an emotional infertile woman without being judged, a place where I could say time and again, “YES… that’s exactly the way I feel.” When it comes to infertility and the wave of emotions that come attached to it, it is so hard to find a place that hits the nail perfectly. With the help of LWB, I have finally found hope and myself again. Thank you Lisa, for creating such a special place. Cheers! 🙂
Thanks for the free book! It’s been on my reading list (and buying list) for a few months, so I went ahead and took advantage of your awesome gift and downloaded it. I’ve got some business travel coming up which always means time for reading while waiting on flights. I can’t wait!!
Happy anniversary!!
Thanks so much for the book. I am downloading it and going to read it right away. I will give it a review when I’m finished. Although I haven’t made the decision to stop trying yet knowing a life without children may be a reality in my future, your website and advice has been so helpful. It’s amazing how its helped me knowing someone else faced with this has not only done it but survived and thrived with this choice. Thank you! You are an inspiration to many.
Congratulations Lisa on your 3 years of writing about your journey and helping women to see the ways in which they can have a rich, full life without baby. Kudos!
Happy Blogoversary. The blogosphere is a warmer place because of you and all the good work you do. Raising a glass to you, Lisa!

I’m reading your book. Read through the first 6 chapters last night after downloading it. Woke up and am already through 3 more chapters. It’s a hard book to put down. Thanks for sharing your story!
Congratulations on your blogoversary! I’m in awe of what you have achieved, and can’t wait to see what the next three years will bring. But in the meantime, sit back and have some more sparkling wine to celebrate. I’ll toast you too!
