Do you have any leads on how I can find this author or content? Mary Alice Legrow other than her Facebook page?

I was wearing a pink dress, probably had sparkly shoes and had a massively hard time trying to choose what I wanted painted on my face. I finally narrowed it down to a choice between spiderman and batman. <br />I went with Spiderman.

And I think they'll still be enthralling us with their great tunes long after Goyte is forgotten. Their new "Trouble" is terrific!<br /><br />I enjoy playing with Legos almost as much as my 6 yr old!<br /><br />On the gender thing, I frequently challenge gender norms that my son brings home - pink being only a "girl" color, for example. I also insist that there are no "girl" jobs - my son helps me with laundry, cooking, and vacuuming - and has never been lead to believe that any of those things as either gender-specific or for that matter, a chore.<br /><br />But at the same time, I have a hard time choking back my bile over parents who bathe their daughters in everything pink, frilly, and superficial. Little girls need as much - maybe more - encouragement to break out of the societal gender traps. Instead of grooming arm candy, Disney princesses, why not raise your girls to be strong, smart, independent, people? The "pretty" part will take care of itself.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101289328294242999noreply@blogger.com
