By Tracee Sioux Mythbusters, a series on the Discovery Channels (TLC, etc), that puts myths and urban legends through scientific tests to determine if there is any truth to it is a fantastic way to empower girls. When I was a kid I had no reason to believe that science or math might apply to […]
By Tracee Sioux I often watch VH1 videos at the gym during my workout and I totally approve of Fergie’s song Big Girls Don’t Cry as a great message for girls. The song tells the story of a girl who has dreams, but she’s inconveniently in love with this guy who is obviously not going […]
By Tracee Sioux I saw Princes William and Harry on The Today Show. Wow, they turned out HOT! As a Femimommy who is adamantly Anti-Princess, does that mean I have to be Anti-Hot Prince? I even caught myself fantasizing that if I couldn’t have them, maybe Ainsley could. Isn’t that just wrong? My last significant […]
There is an amendment to the Global Gag Rule before congress right now. The Gag Rule is where the United States has decided to withhold money from International organizations like The Red Cross if they fund contraceptives or reserve the right to say the word “abortion” to any of their patients. Ever wonder how Africa […]
By Tracee Sioux Just who is running the school clothes fashion show? A reader’s (Janet) comment on my column Kindergarten Fashion Show really provided some clarity about who is driving the fashion show in elementary school. Mommy, obviously. Mean Girls are driving the whole thing. But, its Second Generation Mean Girls now. Its the Mean […]
By Tracee Sioux While I don’t want my daughter to believe she IS her clothing. I have to confess to a bizarre attachment to a pair of dancing shoes I no longer have. While packing for my femimother weekend I felt an old familiar yearning for my black dancing shoes. I lost one of them […]
By Tracee Sioux One of the best ways to empower children, in my experience, is to get away without them for a weekend. It sends the message that they can and should be somewhat independent. They will, after all, be going out in the world without me eventually. It gives their father the opportunity to […]
Oh girls, you are not defined by your clothes! Really, were not sending this message to our girls in any kind of adequate way. By the time my daughter was two she was getting herself dressed and had a very set idea of what she wanted to look like. She wanted to wear her sparkly […]
Dear God and Dave Ramsey: Not that youre one and the same or like you have the same address or anything, but you both live in the money department of my brain. This is what I look like in the mornings. My eyes are sealed shut with monkey poop and they hurt, the lids are […]
I was tagged in a blogger game or memed by Julie Q at The JQ Lounge here are the rules: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. You need to tag 7 others and […]
By Tracee Sioux In the middle of Ainsley’s Disney Princess Obsession I found a coffee table book about Princess Diana at the library and showed it to her. She honestly had never considered the fact that there might actually be real princesses. She was as fascinated, if not more, with Princess Diana, Fergie, Duchess of […]
By Tracee Sioux I was on the john reading this little devotional. It was a scripture pretty much everyone has memorized, even if they aren’t Christian. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self. Gal. 5:11 And I thought, How many people hate themselves? Women and girls especially. Cutting on themselves, saying “I hate myself’ […]
