I chose to be a transparent parent years ago. To teach my kids about their bodies, and other important topics, because the world can be harsh and information is power. But, this led to some interesting side effects.

Journeying out of childhood and into womanhood can be a celebration, not an embarrassment. Just hold a period party.

My rant on birthday parties, triggered after only 4 kids showed up to my daughter’s 8th birthday party – despite the RSVPs.

For all my menstruating women out there. Light a tampon, raise it up, and hear my ode to the menstrual cup.

Kids are off school. Forced time away from electronics means every day they make slime. Which means every surface of my house is covered in the stuff.

Getting your 7 year old ready in the morning is worse than going to the gyno.

Why, if I don’t like kids, do I willingly volunteer to chaperone?

Why I never wanted to be a mom, but then my first daughter was born and everything changed.

Recalling the time we had family photos taken for the blog and why, before now, we never had them.
