15 Things to Say or Do for Couples Facing Infertility
After publishing 15 Things Not to Say to Couples Facing Infertility, I only felt right putting together a post about things to say or do for couples facing infertility. It’s easy to list negatives and warn people away from them. It’s harder to find positive words and actions with which to replace them. Infertility is so tough, no matter what. Nothing that you say or do for your loved ones will ever make things 100% better.

Scrooge Holiday Floral Show at the Domes
The theme of the holiday floral show at the Mitchell Park Domes is a classic: Scrooge. The show takes you through a visual retelling of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, with scenes inspired by each of the ghosts who visit Ebenezer. We see the Ghost of Jacob Marley, Ghost of Christmas Past (the snow queen), Ghost of Christmas Present (a Victorianesque Santa figure), and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (eerie bare trees in a graveyard site).
The Christmas Carol scenes are filled out with gorgeous poinsettias in all different shades. The gazebo is decked out in festive garlands and more pots filled with poinsettias and other holiday florals. The floral exhibit is complete with a stunning, gigantic decorated Christmas tree.
