Recently I was asked to try out and review these new products by Rand McNally called Boredom Breakers.  They are Rand McNally’s answer to how to keep kids entertained during a long (or short) road trip.  As you may have seen, Last month we took a trip up to Northern Nevada that took us about 4 hours one way to drive.  When I found out about this product to review we were planning on making that trip again in the near future.  However that trip was changed to taking a trip to Cheyenne, Wy.  This trip will be a 12 hour drive.  Even my teenagers, who have always been really great on long trips, will need something to do!  These Boredom Breakers will be a life saver…. for them more than me.

I’m a mom of two boys, one is 14 the other is 12.  They both have been going through puberty for a while now.  A long time ago, when my oldest was starting to ask questions, I got him a couple of books that helped both him and I with the whole “TALK”.  My oldest has always been a little more shy about talking about his feelings, and certainly more so about sex.  But the books that I bought helped quite a bit.  My youngest has never been shy about anything though.  His way of talking to me about things like sex has always been by confessional.  No we’re not Catholic, he’s just weird.  One of the things he confessed to me about was some of his sexuality.  That is what has prompted me to write an article for Secular Homeschooling Magazine about Sex Education and the Homeschooler.  If they don’t accept the article, then I’ll post it here.  However, just in case someone is interested in some of the books that I bought for my sons, you can see them below.  I’ll let you all know one way or another if my article is in Secular Homeschooling Magazine and when the issue comes out with it.
