In love with my husband, books, and yarn

Can we get a thread going of books that are just absolutely fun reads? Nothing that’s trying to make me think to hard, nothing that’s trying to make me sad. Just fun stories that you can pick up and use to escape for a little while because I think we could all us that. 

My first pick is the Truly Devious serious by Maureen Johnson~

simple reminder: You are loved no matter how you feel. He is there. He is near. He is faithful.

Crazy how I was just thinking about this last night

This is why sex education is so important and it starts at fucking home.

I legit didn’t even know that I was “molested” until I was in middle school because of my parents neglected to educate me on child sexual abuse.

[dovey-luv-bug]

My parents taught me the ins and outs of my body, including menstruation and sex, by the time I was six. I have been able to protect my own innocence ever since, and sex is no longer a "taboo" thing that could get me hurt if I was curious enough or taken advantage of.

This is an important concept for kids to learn, and if you disagree, get off my blog.

Honestly, keeping this stuff a secret allows predators to keep doing what they are doing without fear of getting caught.

[captain-snark]

Not just for predators or abuse but for basic health reasons, teaching your kids to be ashamed of their body is only going to lead them to hide anything that might be wrong. 

Too embarrassed to tell a parent about something wrong with your genitals and then by the time its found out your kid is dying of cancer, because you thought the word penis was inappropriate.

[jehovahhthickness]

It’s for all of the above.

24.01 / looking back

[ethereal-drivel]

Sometimes life is stressful and you just gotta remind yourself… one day you’ll be living in the woods with whomever you love (partner, grandparents, a nice fat cat) tending to your pumpkin patch and your honeybees, picking the fruit from your apple tree, and spending the night writing love letters to the sun and everything will be okay

Let’s be honest here girls one of the best things about a long distance relationship is you don’t have to shave your legs all the time. I’m not the only one right???
