Looking for gift ideas for teen girls? I'm right there with you! With Christmas right around the corner, I find myself scrambling for ideas on what to get my daughter this year.

I am now the proud mother of teenagers and they are a little bit more difficult to shop for. If you are trying to decide what to get that teen girl on your gift list this holiday … [Read more...]
