Empowering Girls: First Salon Cut

I felt, after 6 years of free haircuts from NaNa, that $10 was an appropriate amount to spend for a first salon haircut. After recently getting my own hair makeover, my daughter expressed an interest in getting hers cut “just like mine.” Aware that a daughter’s desire to be “just like Mommy” is fleeting, I […]

Empowering Girls: Tooth Fairy Inflation

Mom! Victoria got a puppy from the Tooth Fairy! My six-year-old told me after a visit with her BFF. Uh. The Tooth Fairy brings children money for teeth not puppies, I told her. Nu uh. Victoria got a toy! I saw the puppy, she challenged. A toy? Well, I think the Tooth Fairy brings money […]

The site originates in Europe. Can you imagine my head exploding at this […]

Empowering Girls: Abstinence Only Failure

Empowering Girls: Roles We Play – A New Earth Community

by Tracee Sioux Oh the roles we play. . . Is this news to anyone? I’ve always known that I play roles and even been aware of them when I’m doing it. Some of my most common roles: When I was a teenager and young adult I played “cute flirty blond girl with a little […]
