PostHeaderIcon 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. :)

CONV1_mdLast 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!

Ask PTB!
No, I'm not a professional anything (except maybe a professional PITA, but the pay sucks!), but sometimes, parents of teenagers have questions, and sometimes? it's simply easier to ask some snarky woman on the internet, just to talk it out. I am that snarky woman. Ask away, folks, and I'll answer you on the blog. :)

Attention!

Hey - all this drivel I spout out about here? It's mine. I wrote it, designed it, slapped it together except where quoted from folks who asked me to write about'em, and stuff otherwise noted and cited. That means it's mine - not yours. So play nice, be a good sport, and keep your grubby mitts off - this is my stuff, get your own!
