Raising a Thankful Tween-ager

If you would have told me that I’d be parenting a pre-teen so soon I would not have believed you! ⁣

One of the things that we talk about often is how thankful we are even in the midst of COVID-19. ⁣

We are thankful because for some, this season presents challenges for girls in obtaining their basic necessities. ⁣

This Fall, Always continues their mission to show girls they are#SupportedAlwaysby starting with a donation of 4 million pads and by partnering with various experts to create virtual activities that can help girls grow in confidence, wherever they are. ⁣

The global pandemic has brought about all kinds of insecurities. ⁣

A recent study conducted by ⁣

@Always_brand revealed that, since the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 1 in 3 young people feel less confident because they’ve missed after school activities and nearly 1 out of 3 parents are worried about their ongoing ability to afford period products - an issue known as period poverty.⁣

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 #𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 #𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗣𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 so that periods don’t hold young people back, and you can help too! ⁣

When you purchase a pack of Always pads@cvspharmacyyou will spark a pad donation to Feeding America network of food banks! ⁣


In addition to grabbing a pack of Always, join Lyric and I every Wednesday for the#SupportedAlwaysInstagram Live sessions. ⁣

These sessions will help girls continue to stay involved in the activities they love. ⁣

For everyone who joins or watches a session, Always will donate a month’s supply of period products, up to half a million products, via our partner@womenssportsfoundation, who is helping girls stay active all over the country!⁣


Lyric my 12 year old has been the best big sister a mom could dream of.. I’m so thankful for her stepping in from time to time to just love on the little ones so that I can zero in on things that won’t get done without me. ⁣

I asked her why she was being extra sweet.. she said “oh it’s Because I love you mom.. and oh mom there’s this video game that I want from GameStop that ....” ⁣
