Happy Tryptophan day!
Happy Thanksgiving, ya’ll!
Things around here have been busy, as I try to keep up with 18 gazillion projects on a daily basis. Hee. The girl had her play, the teenagers are drama filled, the pup is back in the pool which means soon I’ll be poolside during her meets for the rest of the winter. She’s THRILLED to have swim team practices finally start, and it certainly makes her sleep well at night! She’s swimming four days a week for an hour after school, and comes home TIRED… and STARVING! It’s funny, she’ll stand there and tell me all about her practice, and I can HEAR her belly growl from like 5 feet away! So it’s good dinner, homework and off to bed, Monday – Thursday. She’s working hard, and we can’t wait to see how she does in the first meet, getting her very first official times so that we can gauge her successes for the rest of the season.
Anyway – hope you all are doing fabulously and enjoying a lovely food coma with your loved ones. We’ll be headed down to Nana’s later today to partake and share The Girl and Pup’s pumpkin pudding (Ala Rachael Ray) that they prepared last night. Then, tomorrow, it’s the biggest little celebration in town – Christmas Comes To Kenai. I may pop in and share some pictures of that for ya later this weekend too.

Hannah Montana Ornament!
If you live with a young teenager or tween, who happens to be of the girlish persuasion and addicted to the Disney Channel, chances are you know exactly who Hannah Montana is. For those one or two people in the world who don’t – Hannah Montana is the name of Mylie Cyrus’ alter ego on […]
Neopets Puzzle Adventure!
Yup, it’s review day here at Parenting Teens Blog! For the past few weeks, the lovely Melissa and I have been chatting back and forth about the brand new Neopets Puzzle Adventure! I had to admit that I was a hopelessly behind the times mom, and had yet to give my kids a Nintendo DS, […]
Saturday PSAs
One of the things I love about writing here for Parenting Teens Blog is all the people that contact me with exciting surveys, contests, and products for our teenagers. Some of the things I never would have thought to look at, others make me thing, and a lot of them I am pleased to pass […]
