Welcome to Adventuring the Girl Life, where we believe life for every girl should be well-lived.

Today’s Topic: Sending my young ones every beginning of the school year brings me to tears!

They’re growing so fast before my eyes. For example, it didn’t bother me to think before that my baby girl Riley is old enough to go to middle school (MIDDLE SCHOOL!) I am shocked, excited, and worried. What if she gets bullied? What if there’s too much peer pressure around her? What do I do?

So, on today’s episode, I am giving away tips for parents and guardians out there on how to raise our middle schoolers, especially for our cute baby girls. I’m not trying to be biased around here but middle school has been crueler to girls at this age… Believe it or not!

Anyway, here are 11 things you can tell your middle-schoolers:

1. Your worth is not determined by what your friends say about you, it is what Jesus say about you.
2. Boys mature way slower than girls.
3. Your friends will come and go but with every person. there is a lesson to learn on how to treat people.
4. “Remember to treat others the way you want to be treated.” - Ephesians 4:32
5. Marriage should not be your ultimate goal in your life. There is so much more there to experience.
6. Everybody is different. That's how God made us.
7. Counterfeit love is not worth giving into in comparison to what Jesus has in store for you.
8. This will be an amazing time. Make new friends. Find new hobbies. Live it up.
9. Get into a cool church group.
10. Make an effort to find someone (that you approved of, of course!) that you give permission to your children to talk to.
11. Always tell them they’re on your team.

In the end, I have to remain very hopeful of what’s ahead of my baby girl. I have to let her experience this on her own and just be here to light her way.

Make sure to tune in because we’ll dive into these tips deeper!

And, if you have more tips you want to add, then make sure to send it through my way right away!

Crowns and Flops: Here are my crowns and flops this week!

Crowning moment: I attended a photography course! This is so I can take better pictures for my business and social media. I’ve learned a lot of techniques and I’m really excited for you guys to see how the pictures I’ll be taking in the future.

Flop: I signed up for the Night Nation Run near where I lived and I totally bailed out the last minute just because there was no one to go with. It was supposed to be a 5K run with glow sticks and neon clothes but had to cancel it because I didn’t want to do it alone! I guess I should learn how not to bail on the things I want next time!
