Tweens

Question of the Week: Piercings

Times are changing. Miley Cyrus just pierced her nose and her dad took her to get it done. Piercing has gone mainstream and so have tattoos.  Would you let your teen get a piercing or a tat?

Question of the Week: Mean Girls

We've all suffered their wrath, those bitchy girls in junior high and high school that made life a living hell. You spend hours praying that your girl, won't be THAT girl.  How do you teach your girl not to be THAT girl and what surival tactics are you passing long?

Family Movie Nights

I was flipping through my summer activity guide The City of Modesto puts out and they are again offering family and teen movie nights. It's a great cheap and easy way to get out of the house with your kids. We usually pop our own popcorn, grab a blanket, pack a cooler and head on down to the park for some fun.  The kids love it and it watching a movie outside is much more fun than sitting your living room.

Here is the schedule:
