Dear Claire,
I don't know why, but writing this to you is sooo scary! I realize that right now, you're just a little girl, and the "real" sex talks will come later one. But..I kind of wonder if I'd be more likely to tell you the truth while you're little and it feels so far away.
There's so much to think and talk and wonder about when it comes to sex, so this is definitely going to be a series of tidbits that hopefully, you'll take pieces of when it comes to the decisions that you make.
Okay, Mom, breathe.
So...you know I love hanging out with the girls right? I'm always off to "ladies nights" and "book clubs" and really my number one hobby is chatting the night away with my girlfriends.
In all of those hours, and hours, and hours logged, dishing all the dirt, sharing all of our stories and secrets, not one woman has ever said this sentance "the best sex I ever had was in high school".
Just sayin'.
Love you even though you're going to grow up one day.
Mom

Does Anyone Do Aerobics Anymore?
Dear Claire,
When I was growing up there this fantastic show called 'The 20 Minute Workout'. It "starred" three nameless women who wore the most fabulous body suits, tights, sweatbands, and of course...leg warmers.
They had big hair, big blue eyeshadow, and did old-school aerobics for twenty minutes (hence the show's name).
Anyway, obviously you were suppossed to set up your workout mat in the living room and follow along, but I was just a kid so I just sat and watched. This was a time before 'Tree Hosue' so there clearly wasn't children's televison shows playing 24/7.
What I learned from watching this show is that doing aerobics sucks, but being in good health is important.
Hmmm...what's a girl to do?
Do something that gets your heart rate up, makes you sweat a bit, but most importantly - do something you enjoy! If you pick something you actually like, it won't be so painful to go and do it.
Pick a sport, a dance class, circuit training, yoga, roller blading, running - try them all!
And if you don't like any of them, then I guess you'll just have to do 'The 20 Minute Workout' over YouTube. Sucker.
Love you when you're breaking a sweat!
