Question for you, Abby! What’s your opinion on IVF?
I know as a prolife woman, I think it’s immoral to implant knowing that many embryos/babies will die. Also as a catholic woman I believe that the create of life shouldn’t be outside the marital act of sex. But, I’m just so curious what your personal view!
I love this! 15 minutes can be soooo powerful! I don't have kids yet, but I often use 15 minutes to take my dog to the mailbox and back or to devote to playing with her. It's very valuable, much in the same way that it is with small children!
One use of 15 minutes that you didn't mention that I think is also really valuable is hygiene or exercise! With a busy life, as a mom, with a job, as a homemaker, etc. sometimes it can be hard to take care of ourselves. I have found myself often doing a quick 15-minute intense workout or taking those minutes to jump into a shower that I may have been too exhausted for the night before!
There was this idea about time I read a long time ago...perhaps from the book Stargirl? A girl’s quirky family removed clocks from the walls so they wouldn’t worry so much about how they were spending time. She and her mom felt more comfortable living in the moment. But of course there are potential drawbacks like not being able to time food cooking or arriving late.
For me, I could probably use 15 min. to rest my eyes and stay hydrated.
Abby, how do you deal with and process negative comments on your posts, videos, etc.? Unfortunately, by virtue of being in the public eye and on the right, I see comments on your posts that are full of hate and ignorance all the time. Do these ever get to you or bother you? Do they slide off like water off a duck's back? Is there anything specific that you do that you find helps you ignore or move past these types of comments?
Love the idea to use 15 minutes to tidy or plan out your day.

Tell us more about the water play table, please! My granddaughter is going to be one next month and that sounds like a great gift
