The door slammed and while part of me wanted to run after her and talk to her, I knew the best thing would be to give her time to cool down. My daughter is twelve. She came to me this afternoon and asked if she could go to the mall with her new friend (just moved in down the street), and I told her no. See, I don't know her new friend's parents.

Halloween Was So Much More Fun When I Was A Kid
Am I the only one who has noticed the end of Halloween? When I was a kid, we'd all go out into the neighborhood, ON Halloween night, dressed in our hobo Indian princess pirate get-ups, knocking door to door and hoping we didn't get kidnapped.

5 Strategies To Help Night Owl Moms Who Have Early Bird Kiddo’s
Some parents roll out of bed perky and ready to tackle the day. I am not one of those parents. Most mornings I roll out of bed squinty eyed, cursing at the alarm clock, and praying someday they invent a patch that infuses us with caffeine as we sleep. I, like many of us, was a night owl before I became a parent.
