How to Talk to Your Kids about Sex (and Puberty)

By Katherine R. Elder

One fateful Sunday on the way home from church, I asked my mom why the mumps were bad. To my 9-year-old brain’s knowledge, they just made your face swell and made you look like you were playing that disgusting “Chubby Bunny” game. Well, for those of us too young to have lived before the MMR shot became a standard routine for school admissions, one of the negative effects of this disease is that it can lead to an inflammation of the testicles that can, on occasion, lead to male sterility. My mom’s simple answer to my query was, “Because, if a man gets them, he may not be able to have babies.”

My Child, The Grown Up

By Gwen Morrison

My third child turned 18 today. All grown up. In four more years, I will have completed all of my motherly obligations. I’ve changed at least 5000 diapers, baked 77 birthday cakes (not that I’m counting), and kissed away more tears than I could ever count. I’ve sat in the stands of countless sporting events, plays, and school concerts.

Wedding Mishaps

Your wedding day is suppose to be one of the most memorable days of your life and most people spend months and big bucks trying to assure that their wedding day is picture perfect.

To Hug or Not to Hug?

By Ann

Have you ever met someone, but you didn’t know quite how to greet her? I meet new people all the time, and usually I have a feel for the appropriate way to say hello. I greet children and adults that I meet through my work with a smile, a nod, and sometimes, a handshake. I usually greet my friends with a cheerful, “Hi!” but some of them are “huggers,” and my greeting isn’t enough.

Something Wonderful

Something Wonderful

By Kimberly Field

” Something wonderful is going to happen today and I can’t wait to find out what it is.”

Almost every morning for over two years I have said this quote. I’m not sure where I found it but it caught my attention. I said it so often that my children started to say it too. It became part of our morning as we headed out the door for school and work. At the end of the day, at supper time, we would trade stories of what wonderful things happened to each of us during the day. I’m not sure why we stopped.
