I have a teenager. In my mind - I feel like I have been raising a teenager for a lot longer than the 6 months she has officially been 13 - and my almost 11-year-old is already in the teenager attitude mode (but not nearly as often). I get it. I have been there. I was a teen once. That is how I know that getting into an argument with your teen is inevitable...

Our "secret" is Movies Anywhere. Movies Anywhere let us combine our Disney Movies ...
15 ideas for Grandparent Care Packages for the Holidays
Thank you to The UPS Store for sponsoring this post. Make the holiday to-do list a little easier this season with The UPS Store! I love my family - both my side and my husbands. We are close to all of them, but we don't live close to them so it can be really hard - especially during the holidays.
