With an almost 18 year old and 19 year old daughters, we've had lots of birthday parties around the east side of the Twin Cities. I've listed a bunch of them here.

As a mom of two teenage girls, I know how hard it can be to find gifts that tweens and teens are actually excited to receive! 💕 I've rounded up some of my favorite finds for you here. Whether you're shopping for your daughter, niece, granddaughter, or a teen in your life, I've got plenty of ideas to help you find something they'll LOVE (and hopefully earn you some mom points, too!). 🎁✨

From west suburbs to the east suburbs, and north to south - I've compiled a list of things to do and visit with your kiddos.

I always love to have my nails look good but spending time and money at a salon is not on my to-do list. I need something quick and easy, but has a salon quality look. These nail sets get the job done.

Christmas itself is something to look forward to, but why not make the countdown even more fun with one of these Advent calendars!?

I love, love, love fall! Especially the part where I get to be cozy, comfortable, and still cute! Some of these are currently in my closet and others that will soon be on their way there!

Just putting it out there… these are a few things that have caught my eye and landed on my personal wish list! 🎁✨
