OMG I can SO relate to what you are going through since Lauren just started middle school too. She also tried to change her name- to Ren. Nobody could ever remember to use it though.
SHe also went vegetarian at the beginning of the summer so I'm having to relearn how to cook.
The poses cracked me up. They think they are so glam at this age don't they? The scary think is sometimes they pull it off!
You want scary- Lauren has her first dance this Friday! YIKES! I'm not ready!!!
