Teen Dating: Chastity is the Goal - www.MiddleWayMom.com

Dating and chastity. What a loaded topic. Dating is treated like a right of passage, so when someone hears that we do not allow Care Bear to date until she’s ready to get married, we get a look as if we are going off the deep end. As you may know, Care Bear splits her […]

By Shannen Espelien 1 Comment

Care Bear has always gotten very good standardized test scores, and her 7th grade test was phenomenal. Just a few weeks ago, she took her 8th grade test. Now, don’t get me wrong, she did very well! She still got 91st percentile overall, but that was a disappointment for her compared to her 99th percentile […]
