Tween Academy - Tweens and Self-Esteem Wrap Up Last week I had the pleasure of being on a panel for a Tween Academy chat at The Motherhood along with 5 other amazing bloggers and our awesome host Rosalind Weisman, author New York Times bestseller, Queen Bees and Wannabees.  It was so great to talk with other moms who are struggling with how to encourage their tweens and teens in order to help them develop strong self-esteem.  Sometimes as parents we feel as if we are the only ones with certain problems and having chats like this helps us...

Giant Eagle Market District

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a special social media VIP visit to the new Giant Eagle Market District store in Robinson Township, PA a few weeks ago.  The new store is AMAZING!
