This week, we discuss perimenopause. While menopause is talked about openly in the media, we found that not many people are talking about perimenopause and some of us don't even know what it is. The symptoms of perimenopause can be unbearable and last for a decade, so why aren't we talking about it? Join the discussion over on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/anonymousmom

This week, we discuss the importance of alone time. Topics include: the benefits of alone time, how to know when it might be time for some solitude, and examples of things you can do to enjoy time away from other people. We both know how hard it is to find time to be alone, especially as parents, but it’s way more important for our physical and mental health than we realized. What do you do when you finally get some time to yourself? Join the discussion over on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/anonymousmom

This week, we discuss boredom. Topics include: the importance of boredom for both children and adults, the anxiety of hearing the dreaded words “I am bored” from our kids, and how our understanding of boredom has changed throughout the years.
