I don’t know if the idea of hiking a hill excites but it does excite me. I will be so hyped up by it.

Sunday

Sunday was saddled with the task of teaching you When & How to Have the Talk with Your Daughter. I never had the talk with my parents and thank God I didn’t because that’d have been hella embarrassing. I mostly just learned from friends, which led to me getting inaccurate information most of the time. I wish I had the talk with my mom instead. It would’ve been embarrassing but awfully necessary. We owe it to our daughters to give them the best accurate information when they hit puberty because it is something nobody can escape.

For couples, if you are wondering How to Keep the Romance Alive After Having Kids, we got you.

How I Became A Lesbian is a story of why you shouldn’t be one. It’s so scary how someone’s curiosity can lead them to do something like that. Curiosity they say killed the cat.
