My Family Relationship Status: It’s Complicated
When people hear that I have twins, one of the first questions I’m usually asked is, “Do you have family around to help you?” The answer to that question is like one of the relationship status options on Facebook: It’s complicated. Although my mother and stepfather live nearby, I haven’t spoken to them since Elby turned two. My mom bought her only grandchild a tricycle at that birthday but she’s never seen her ride it. Since Elby will be five in November, shes long since grown out of the three-wheeler phase and now has a big girl bike she rides everywhere but her trike still resides in the garage waiting patiently for the twins.
Casual Christmas Dinner Ideas
By the time the Christmas gifts are purchased and wrapped, the tree is up and the house is decorated, there is very little energy left for making a Christmas dinner. Instead of pushing yourself even harder to turn out a many-course meal that will be over in 30 minutes, you can start a new tradition, the simple Christmas dinner. A simple Christmas dinner provides all of the good food memories that a complicated meal offers but allows you to relax and enjoy the day.

Six-year-old girls are complicated. They fancy themselves grown up, learning to read and developing concepts on their own, but they are still dependent on adults and looking for guidance from you.

Birthday Party Game Ideas for Teens
While many teens fear looking childish, most of them still enjoy lively, silly or challenging party games.

Put away that Pin the Tail on the Donkey poster and set the stage for some age-appropriate and fun teen party games.
