Raising Teenagers

Today starts a new Stella Says Sketch challenge and I couldn't resist using a Stella image for a friend who is having some difficulties with her teenage son.  The image is Stella Summer Block - Teenagers and Flowers.  I don't have the secret answer on how to make it work since I had definite challenges with my son; however, we have a great relationship now and I am thankful for that.

    Love your Stella card and that sentiment is a true one for many parents. Happily, our daughter has never caused big troubles/problems and we still have a great relationship with her. Love your photo with Trevor. He resembles you!!

    LOL, I don't think I've seen that Stella one before. Such a perfect sentiment - for the little ones as well as teenagers.
