Christmas Break Shenanigans

I tried to be the "fun mom" over Christmas break, and I think I succeeded in my own way! Emmy took three of her friends, and we all headed out to see the Wonka movie. Honestly, the movie wasn’t great, but at least it got us out of the house and doing something together. Afterward, we grabbed some food at Chick-fil-A and wandered around the mall, which was a nice way to spend the afternoon.

One thing that always surprises me is how much social media influences what these girls think they need. When I was their age, we thought we were the coolest if we had a Caboodle, but now they’re all about shopping at Sephora and Ulta for high-end skincare products. It’s wild to see how much things have changed, and how much influence brands have on what they think is a must-have.

Robb always teases Emmy about buying anti-aging creams, jokingly asking her how young she wants to look. It's a fun way of teasing each other.
