Throughout the school year Ainsley has harassed me nearly every day for a Lunchable or a tray. For most of the year she got a whole wheat ham sandwich, a fruit or vegetable and a juice box. I find my daughter is one of the very few kids who bring a lunch. Some parents are […]
Every time a woman breaks a barrier it opens doors for all girls. Congratulations Danica Patrick!
This is Gossip Girl’s new ad campaign. The only action I took was to open my email – And I am confronted with images of undressed teenagers in sexual positions. The pop up was strategically placed over my check mail buttons so I had no choice but to scroll over. Scrolling over runs a short […]
Because I was unable to attend the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood’s Sixth Annual Summit in Boston I have invited a guest poster to fill us in. Lisa Ray, founder of Parents for Ethical Marketing and author of Corporate Babysitter has been kind enough to write this post for So Sioux Me to help us […]
by Tracee Sioux Mom, what were you and Olivia’s mom talking about on the phone. What did she say? She said, did your mom tell you abut the neighbor? I said, I don’t know. But that’s all. You know the new neighbors? Yeah. The man was once in jail for hurting a little girl. OH. […]

I am not my roles: I am not a writer, that’s something I do. Though it is the purpose of my working life, an advocate for girls is not the essence of who I am. I am not my house, my car or my family. I am not mother, daughter, sister or wife – those […]

She always listens and follows directions. She remembers the words to songs and helps the other kids. She’s a great student and we’re so […]
Perhaps you noticed that your daughter has both a vagina and a uterus when she was born? Oddly, this causes discomfort in some parents. I admit to some discomfort in myself when I deal with rashes, itchy or irritation in the general area. As our daughters get older the issues surrounding their feminine organs and […]
I write the word Girl a lot on this blog. Tragically, Google and Amazon’s robots interpret the word “girl” to be synonymous with “porn”. I’ve stopped using various advertising programs from both companies because of ads for buying a Mexican bride (Google), Girls Gone Wild videos (Amazon), and viewing photos of “young girls in thongs” […]
Parenting magazines should be renamed, 1,000 Ways to Accidentally Kill Your Kids. During my first pregnancy and Ainsley’s babyhood I spent a great deal of time digesting all the information in parenting magazines and books. This habit was a contributing factor to my post-partum depression. Here’s the problem, in the exact same issue they include […]
Last night’s A New Earth Oprah and Eckhart Tolle Webcast was great. I would add a few more tangible suggestions that I’ve found helpful in overcoming the pain body issues. Tapping, or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), is the physical tapping and releasing emotional pain from our bodies through pressure points. I spent over an hour […]
