NaBloPoMO #25: the light at the end of the tunnel…
25. TWENTY-FIVE DAYS IN A ROW. And only a couple fluff posts. I’d say NaBloPoMo is going pretty well for us here at Parenting Teens Blog, wouldn’t you? Of course, that does mean that today I’ve been staring at all the possible posts (and one OMGPINK reference blog post) and coming up somewhat blank. But have no fear, there WILL be a post here for today – and it won’t just be the paragraph!
…I think. 🙂
Last year, I think it was – or maybe the year before, Nana made a couple of my teen girls knit pendant that was really a condom carrier – because better safe than sorry! The girls loved them, and still have them as far as I know.
If you’re not so lucky as to have a Nana that knits, check these guys out – Just In Case, Inc. They make a compact – that has a compartment for a condom under the mirror. It’s sleek, stylish, and promotes safety – and you KNOW I’m all about that! The kids will have sex, eventually and likely far before we’re ready – it’s our job to give them the right information, and stress safety in all situations. Maybe the gift pack – that has the condom compact, AND “Sexervation” cards that help promote healthy conversation about sexual relationships is just the ticket.
Check them out today!

Hey boy! STOP THAT!
You know, I’m working really really REALLY HARD to not realize that he’s graduating in May, that he turns 18 in March, that he’s Practically A Grown Up and my parental control will not be near as controlling as I’d like it to be for my little boy forever and ever amen. I’m TRYING to […]
At home drug tests…
On the previous posts, we talked a little about huffing. While that’s not detectable via any drug test, if you’re worried about other types of drug use, there is an at home testing system that you can use. This of course, brings up the issues of teenagers and privacy again – but there is another […]
Teenagers and privacy.
You’ll notice that on here, I rarely use my kids real names, though I do use actual pictures now and again. At most an initial, a nickname, something that makes it a little more difficult to trace. I do this out of respect for my teenagers – and their privacy. But that’s a tenuous thing […]
