What kind of messages are we sending to our daughters?

I asked Lauren today, what she wanted for her birthday and among other things she asked for a princess shirt. You know the ones with Disney characters on them? Well John and I try to avoid buying those things for her because we don’t want her to think that if you wear fancy clothes and lots [...]
