Tween Holiday Gift Guide: Shopping for Your Tween Made Easy!
I have a Tween daughter who loves all things Christmas. This Fall, she asked us the dreaded question, "Is Santa Claus real?" We didn't want this day to come. But we felt that at almost nine, a tween now, she had the right to learn the truth from us and not kids at school. But, we taught her about the magic of Christmas. And we also told her she was going to be able to help us with her brother's Elf on the Shelf and wrapping his gifts from Santa Claus. She felt better and we know she won't … [Read more...]
Why I Like Parenting a Tween Girl
Thank you DOLE Fruitocracy for sponsoring today's discussion. All opinions are mine alone. When I started this blog, I wanted a way for my family (in another state) to keep up to date with my new baby girl. (Just for fun, you can check out my first ever blog post. Don't judge!) Fast forward 8 years later and that baby girl is officially a tween! Gasp!!! Where did the time go? I'm going to be honest here - I prefer this tween stage. There are many days when I miss her being a baby and … [Read more...]

I am putting this one away for my daughter for when she gets just a bit older. This is … [Read more...]
Tween Holiday Gift Guide: Fun Tween Girls Fashion Picks
I have an almost 8 year old girl who is almost as tall as me. She is wearing a size 10 already and I can't help but wonder where the time has gone. She is truly a "tween" - and I don't know how that happened so quickly. She loves "girly" things like pink, jewels and sparkles. She won't hesitate to tell me when something isn't fashionable. I guess she just knows now what is fashionable and what is not. So this holiday season, I found a new store to shop for her at. A store that … [Read more...]
When She’s Ready for Her Own Tween Bedroom
She is almost 8. Yet, it feels like she is 8 going on 14. I am almost positive I wasn't so mature at her age. I was happily playing with My Little Pony, Barbie, and Care Bears. But, it's a different time I suppose. Though she still loves her Barbies and Calico Critters - she is starting to show interest in tween things like books, television shows, music, fashion and beauty. Her childhood is going by so quickly. I am not ready for her to grow up so fast. But she loves being a big girl and … [Read more...]
