I had to share this article (it's been going around for a while) but a number of good friends that have little ladies have really been moved by its message: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-bloom/how-to-talk-to-little-gir_b_882510.html<br /><br />It encourages people to speak to little girls about things they are doing, things they care about, wonderful attributes of their character, instead of automatically defaulting to complimenting their appearance. Made me think! Best of luck with everything in the next few weeks, you are going to be a fabulous mum! xc.a.h.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10411299710568159759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898511657724938468.post-31867643653642307772013-09-19T18:25:27.108-05:002013-09-19T18:25:27.108-05:00This is such a sweet and amazing post, Leslie!

It is such a huge responsibility, and none of us are perfect in our parenting. But leading by example is the best we can do.

I think the best way is not to teach but to show and lead by example. If you think you're worthy your daughter will see that and know that it's normal. My parents didn't teach or tell me that we're all equal humans and that skin color, gender, or sexuality preference didn't matter they showed me by their actions towards other people and that's how I learned. It was a great lesson that I will pass on to my future children. You will be a great mom!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995927982497061707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898511657724938468.post-89486850603575651732013-09-19T14:10:46.577-05:002013-09-19T14:10:46.577-05:00This is such a beautiful post, and your baby girl ...This is such a beautiful post, and your baby girl is lucky to have a mom who cares about things like this! I think that it is challenging to raise a confident girl who radiates inner beauty in today's society but I think you're right on by understanding that the best thing you can really do for your daughter is to lead by example. <br /><br />Not sure if you've seen this article, but you should definitely check it out! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-bloom/how-to-talk-to-little-gir_b_882510.html?ref=fb&src=sp%22Jane {In The Pink & Green}https://www.blogger.com/profile/08916073136271415491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898511657724938468.post-76435933104929817872013-09-19T14:04:21.909-05:002013-09-19T14:04:21.909-05:00This is so beautiful.

As he grows, it will be my responsibility to help him learn to see peoples' value for what lies on the inside - especially women, because for us, sadly, what's on the outside is how we are solely judged many times. You will be a great momma to little Caroline and she will see how gorgeous you are on both the inside and the outside. Love this post!<br /><br />PS: Random question, but I remember when you shared a Maybelline lip stick - which I think is the one you have on this pic - that was a berry shade. Do you remember the name of it? Our coloring is similar and if they still make it, I want to pick one up in that shade!!!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627885797946156939noreply@blogger.com
