This was a busy month of posts that really caught my attention…so without further ado, I’m getting on with the show!

*~*

There seems to be a theme running through my old school bloggers feeds right now.  The “oof” we are all feeling…puberty.  We are feeling the pain, joy, turmoil, and evolution of our babies growing up.

Brittany, Herself talks about that all important first step on a young man’s journey in Boy, Shave Your Face.

Lindsay from Suburban Turmoil, having been through the teen years with her step-daughters, and heading into it again with her youngest, gives some beautiful, sage advice on How to Survive the Teenage Years.

A friend of mine linked this post on How to Help Teenage Girls Reframe Anxiety and Strengthen Resilience – and I’ve bookmarked it to read and re-read as a mom with some anxiety, married to a man with many anxieties and knowing our middle child has a fair few of her own.

I swear, the entire internet is aware my girls have hit puberty and is commiserating with me. Or maybe we just all got into blogging when our kids were the same age (i.e. babies) and we’ve just all grown up together. Misery really does love company, because it’s nice to know I’m not alone.

A few more posts I’ve loved this month…

Ali has a lovely post about less-editing/more truth with her post Dark Raccoon Eyes and All.

Liz once again proves we have tons in common with her post, Yup. I’m One of Those Disney People.

Once again Jenny (The Bloggess) makes me both laugh and cry.

First up, she talks a very serious, and all too familiar subject with me. Have the Talk. (Not THAT talk…the other one)

Then she makes me giggle when she exposes a deeply humbling encounter she had…

Lastly this month…this review of Captain Marvel over at Geek Mom was so good it made me almost want to watch the movie…and I’ve sworn off superhero movies for a while. (Burned out)

That’s it for now. I’m keeping my eye out for more.
