to our readers

There are some things you might not expect in this issue of Moms & Dads Today. Where to start? Longtime Duluth journalist Andrea Novel Buck looks into new troops of Boy Scouts filled with girls. In her first report for us, Jessica Morgan learns about grandparents giving parenthood a second turn. Kathleen Murphy visits young rendezvous re-enactors who are learning French and Ojibwe to bring the past to life. Young adults living with disabilities prove that being on your computer doesn’t have to be isolating, and Destination Imagination teachers’ best lesson might be: “Do it yourself.” Our pets columnist Kasha Stoll explains the differences between types of support animals. Artist Mary Rasch shows you a unique way to create a practical sculpture out of old action figures, and vegan cook Bonnie Ambrosi remembers an apple-crisp treat from her childhood. We hope this issue proves the unexpected isn’t necessarily unwelcome!
