30 Days Until 30 - Day 7

Counting down to 30, come along on my journey.

I have 4 beautiful, wonderful children - 3 of which are girls. I go through the normal mom worries about wanting to be a good example for them while also letting them find their own identities.

I teach them to be themselves. They are very unique, each has her own quirks. Some days are down right glitter & nail polish & giggle fits, other days are Spidey sense & agression & dirt. All days are brilliant & fun.

I've found myself actively seeking out females in our entertainment choices... I tend to listen to a lot of male musicians. When my daughter expresses an interest in someone, we listen together. I find my self belting out all the lyrics to Katy Perry's Roar even when I'm alone in the car now.

And my middle daughter literally wanted to be Spiderman, not Spidergirl, Spiderman. I played this up a lot because she felt fearless while portraying the superhero. Now she's into Black Widow & leaps off of all our furniture.

My girls are lucky to have wonderful grandmothers, aunts, & teachers who are empowered women. While I tend to talk most about equality in my house, we sprinkle in plenty of Girl Power along the way.
