Mini Casa made this casa to celebrate The Reluctant Cowgirl. The Reluctant Cowgirl didn't make it and isn't affiliated with Mini Casa.
A blog for mothers of tweens and teenagers, mixing personal growth and parenting tips for raising responsible, resilient kids.
Speaks to mothers of older kids and pairs parenting tips with their own personal growth.
The category index sorts the blog's teen-parenting articles into groups such as Raising Responsible Teens, Connecting with Your Teenager and Helping Your Teen Through Mental and Emotional Stress. Posts that come with a free printable are flagged, and the page points to a membership resource library for more.

Visit linkThe Reluctant Cowgirl treats the parent as part of the teen story. Its teen posts are concrete: family goal-setting with teenagers, a bullet journal approach to the school week, a summer farmhand job, experiential learning ideas, choosing a career path, and what to do when a teenager has no friends. Its personal-growth posts take the same subjects from the parent's side, including a guide to coping with empty nest syndrome after a teen leaves home and a post on the emotional effect of moving with teenagers.
