Tiptoeing Around My Tongue
I have always felt very tentative when choosing my words to describe my children’s attributes and appearance to others but never so much as I am when it comes to direct conversations with my husband. I continuously find myself editing…

So Scary
This is the part of DI that I don’t like, news stories like this freak me out. It seems like more and more of them pop up everyday and it just seems so inconceivable (no pun intended) that there are…

Welcoming Controversy

Freedom or Shit Storm?
I decided over the past few days to free myself. To break the chains that I feel are confining me and tell it like it is. I wouldn’t say being a DI Mom has been a secret, just something that…

Allison Rouble
I am a 41 year old DI Mom to 2 year old B/G Twins and a 4 year old daughter all born using anonymous donor sperm #BGM 9581 from xytex. I live with my wonderful Husband in Ontario, Canada. I am many things other then a Mom. I am a wicked dreamer, a mild mannered skunk hunter, a no nonsense chef, a lover of a glass of wine, a participating wife and a best friend. I started blogging about my crazy life as a mom to donor conceived kids back in 2009 when my first daughter was just 1 and I was trying for baby #2 (which ended up being twins). Now I write at GENdMOM.com about my life and issues having to do with the world of Donor Gametes, infertility, and the mess it can all sometimes be.
However, I discovered I had more to write about then just being a mom of donor conceived kids, I also found that I got great joy from interacting with others about being a Mom, A Wife, A Women, etc. Most importantly I found an online world of friends and family. Therefore I started another blog PandeMommium.com where I write about my nutty life with my 3 kids, and my husband all while trying to maintain some sense of still being a women who has aspirations and desires that go beyond diapers, mac and cheese, treehouse, disney, potty training, well you get the idea!
