If you’ve been around my site for long, you know I’m a big fan of boys in the sweet, awkward, hilarious middle school years! As we continue on in this series celebrating all of the seasons of raising boys, I’m so happy to have Maggie John with me for this conversation! Maggie is a Television host (!) as well as a two-boy momma who lives in Canada. One thing I love about this series is getting to know new friends and learning how different families’ lives look in each season. I think you’ll find Maggie refreshing and so wise.

Monica and her husband Dave raise boys and tropical fruit on the North Shore of Oahu. Monica has homeschooled their four sons (two who are currently in Southern California, one in college, one a recent college grad!) Monica is the author of Raising Amazing: Bringing up Kids Who Love God, Like their Family, and Do the Dishes without Being Asked (released this week!) as well as Boy Mom: What Your Son Needs Most from You, and host of the Monica Swanson Podcast. Monica has been blogging for over 12 years and has encouraged over 10 million visitors to her website with articles on parenting and family, healthy living, and (mostly) healthy recipes. The Swanson boys are all surfers, (Luke, who is 19, surfs professionally) which keeps Monica on her knees. Monica loves good coffee, running trails with her husband and dog, Thor, the Word of God, and connecting with women all over the world through the crazy gift of the internet.
