For the longest time I have had a infatuation with how life was in the 40's. Years ago I watched a documentary about how life was when WWII started. It made me think just what did my Grandmother and Grandfather go through? At that time she would have had 4 or 5 children she was raising, how she had to save scraps and how to make sure there was a meal for the next day. I distinctively remember how she would save her pasta water and let it cool only to add it to her plants later.

The Beantown Girls by Jane Healey
This is a subject most men will turn their head away from but let's keep it real guys. Your lady has a period and if you are a father, your daughter will have one. What most don't realize is the need for period supplies. I can distinctly remember being in school and not having the supplies needed for a unexpected period. Back then our school counselor did not have supplies on hand like most schools do these days. I took a pledge to help #endperiodpoverty by starting a conversation during Period Poverty Awareness Week May 25-31. Even after May 31, I will still honor my pledge and continue to spread this information. What can you do to help?
