Last year I became the mom of a teen and later this year I will be the mom of two teens. One thing I remember from being a teen is having a hard time approaching my parents about certain subjects. Mainly about boys and sex. However my parents always made it possible for me to come to them and ask them questions.

We were thrilled to finally found one. She also got her science fair project idea from sciencebuddies.org. Like :: Keep Reading ::
Encouraging Individuality
I knew that when Tyler and Nishe' entered school that they would have challenges with keeping up with the latest style. We have never been the type of parents who bought what was in.
