Your tweens are going to love this!

Now I think that this should meet with approval. What kid wouldn’t want to curl up and watch a movie with all of these goodies? And there is just something about gift baskets that are so fun to rummage through.

What kids really want for Christmas

They might say that they want the latest toys and in my case the most expensive cars, but if you brought up the topic around the dinner table at night and asked them what was really important, you might be surprised at what they come up with. Think back to your own Christmases as […]

Teen and Tween Stocking Stuffers

Well, I have to warn you now… we started with little stuffed animals for Britt when she was a tween and she is still collecting them. If she doesn’t get at least one stuffed animal for Christmas, well, lets just say that Christmas wouldn’t be the same.

A New Family Christmas Tradition

The people in our neighborhood are just beginning to decorate for Christmas and while the weather is still nice, gather up the family (teens too) and go for a walk around the block. Chances are that once the kids are actually out, they will want to extend the walk. The hard part is just […]
