Sneezing on your Period
When you sneeze, the air travels faster than most cars on the interstate. It takes a lot of muscles to make the sneeze move that fast… so what happens with your period? Does period blood leak out?
If you are bleeding heavily, yes it is possible for a small amount of blood to leak out during a sneeze, cough or hard laugh. The emphasis is on “small amount”. So don’t worry, ladies, it’s rare and it’s not like a waterfall suddenly erupts. You don’t have to hold in sneezes, stay home from your favorite party or avoid laughing at hilarious movies.
Most women rarely experience this and if they do, their pad or tampon almost always catches it.
You have lots of fluids that leave your body on a daily basis — but your bladder is strong and used to holding them in until the right time. However, your vagina is not used to that, so it is possible to be caught off guard with a big sneeze and heavy bleeding.
I have never experienced this first hand, so I have only heard about it from friends. (Maybe I’m not laughing hard enough?)
On the very rare chance that this does happen and it makes it past your pad, just wrap a sweater around your waist and excuse yourself to the restroom. You probably needed to stretch your legs anyway :)

Short Kids Poem: Garbage Truck
The garbage truck howled
and rolled down our street
while searching the curb
for fresh trash to eat.
A kind humble beast
with two blinking eyes
and large steal teeth
surrounded by flies.
Leaving recycling
it ate all the rest,
from tacos to bolts
— and even a chest!
It’s so important
it always stays fed…
or it might just eat
a mailbox instead.

Should Parents Have a Date Night?
After months and months of passing up baby-sitting offers, my wife and I recently decided to have our first date night. Taking time for a date was our best idea this year! After twenty minutes of discussing our routines and what sort of dirty diapers we had changed , we actually started conversing like adults. We laughed. We talked about how we were doing… and we both finally relaxed.
So should parents have a date night? Assuming you have a reliable baby-sitter, the answer is YES!
Don’t Feel Guilty
One of the biggest struggles my wife and I had finally setting aside some time for a date was that we felt guilty leaving our kid behind. We felt like we were abandoning him — but this was all in our heads.
When you become a parent, you are a PARENT. There aren’t many breaks… newborns need a lot of love attention, so it’s natural to feel guilty, but that doesn’t mean it’s right to feel guilty. Leaving your kids with a good baby-sitter, food, water, shelter, warmth, etc is far from abandoning them. If you don’t build up a bank of energy, how are you going to keep giving-giving-giving?
Parenting is tough
Even if you have the best kids in the world like me, they’re still kids… and that means parenting is tough. You owe it to yourself to have some downtime so you don’t go crazy. Sometimes its helpful to get away so you can admit how tough parenting or talk with your partner about how they’re actually doing.
Add some play into your routine
When I became a parent, I was amazed by how much my life was dominated by routines. Kid like schedules. They need regular feeding, attention, changing, etc. Sometimes you forget what it’s like to do something spontaneous — like order a dessert. Plus, playing is a great way to relieve stress. (Toddlers play all the time and look at how few heart attacks they have! :)
It’s hard, but worth it
Fitting an occasional date into your life won’t be easy, but it’s worth the effort. Dates are a great way to reconnect with your spouse, unwind and be an adult (instead of a Mom) for a night. So enjoy — you deserve it!

Short Kids Poem: Bread Band
I dug the middle out
of my French baguette,
and cut a dozen holes
to make a clarinet.
Sally got old buns
to make a xylophone.
Sam used two bread sticks
like a slide trombone.
We took our instruments
beneath a poplar tree
and when we all had tuned
we played a symphony.
Our music was superb!
A fascinating sound!
So that is what we do
when we “loaf” around.
