Our girls...

Everyday you see it and you hear it, you see commercials and it's on the news. Our society's concept of beauty. And our girls are so affected by it even if we don't notice it. Mia said the other day that she wishes her hair was red like Kailee's after she overheard yet another person comment on Kailee's hair. It broke my heart because Mia also has just gorgeous hair!I saw this link on a website and although I am already a big fan of Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, these three clips really hit home as I looked at my daughters and wondered what they are really learning about self esteem and "beauty." I only hope that they will grow up with the knowledge that they are beautiful no matter how they look and that we will have the ability to instill that knowledge and the conviction to do so.
