A Date with Dad

Posted on by

My oldest and I have taken many a date together, and they are always very special. We didn’t really start calling them dates until around the time our youngest was born, though obviously we spent quite a bit of time together when my wife was working (we did our best to coordinate our schedules so that one of us was “home”).

Being the … Continue reading →

Many years ago, talking about our periods was not something that was encouraged and many girls only found out what menstruation was after the first (often scary) blood. We know better, we are a more open society and we have many useful tools and references with which to guide our daughters to an earlier education about puberty. For many girls, menarche (our first menstrual period) is a rite of passage that they will never forget. If you answered any of the … Continue reading →
