Barbie hijacked “Feminism” and used a poor defenseless little girl and Amy Poehler to do it. Oh, well, she did kill The Bratz and I’ll be forever grateful. My kids do enjoy her laptop and the pink VW Bug and the singing High School Musical Dolls, so perhaps I should just surrender? I’d have no […]
Like you, I hate writing a random letter any corporation is going to ignore. It makes me feel almost as powerless as doing nothing. But, I LOVE knowing my letter joined thousands of other letters and made a serious impact. Read all this cool stuff the CCFC has already accomplished. From a CCFC newsletter: Are […]
Your community has free Christmas stuff. I’ve never lived in a community that didn’t. Do it. Participate. Don’t grumble. Put a smile on your face and sing Jingle Bells while doing it. Ainsley was in the parade with her Brownie troop – we watched. Look! Santa! Our church did a Christmas Tree Forest and invited […]
The other day I sat watching a talk show on “rape prevention.” “Don’t let your daughter go to Frat parties and get drunk while wearing a short skirt or they will get raped,” was the advice. And I thought, Why have I never, not one single time, seen a show or read an article or […]
Survey: Teens Sharing Nude Images Online, a clip from The Today Show on a survey released by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and Cosmogirl.com reports, “22 percent of all teen girls and 11 percent of teen girls ages 13-16 years old say they have electronically sent, or posted online, […]
Amy Jussel, executive Director of Shaping Youth included me in her Seven Sisters for All Things Girl series. She said such nice things about me that it literally made me blush. For some reason I don’t get many comments so it’s really, really validating and affirming to know that there are people out there reading […]
Terry Candee, from GoGo Glue Gun Fun, a mother-daughter bonding experience, send me two of her Quirky Dolls Design-A-Doll Kits from her Etsy store. We made a “Glamour” Doll together this Saturday. Each set comes with a pre-made 12″ fabric doll and a plentiful amount of supplies and instructions to design about any doll your […]
Deck the Halls. Make a family day of it. We went out for Chinese Food after Church, hit Walmart for the tree, had a hop on Santa’s lap (bye bye memory of Mall Santa – Santa’s at Walmart now and gives you a free photo in an hour). It’s always exciting to see what we’ve […]
I took Ainsley and her BFF to see High School Musical 3. I have a mad hot crush on Zac Efron. I don’t care. No one has moved me with his theatrical gyrations and love songs since I was about Ainsley’s age watching John Travolta in Grease for the first time. Zac and John – […]
Lately, I’ve been fixating on taking Martha Beck’s Life Coaching Course in January. I dream about it nearly every night. Last night I dreamed I got a rare scholarship. I spoke about my desire to speak publicly and be a life coach at my first Toastmaster’s Speech. It’s found it’s way to a pivotal point […]
The Girls Next Door is rated PG-13. Hugh Hefner decided. Its a voluntary rating system. (Oh, and Barbie obviously has no cultural influence at all on girls or the bodies they grow up and buy.) Image Source: Ragyn
Advent Calendars build anticipation. Once you buy one you can bring it out for 20 years and fill it with Halloween Candy (if you have that kind of discipline – we don’t). We filled it with my mother’s caramels. Yum. One for each child in every pocket. My mom suggested we do something a little […]
