Dedicated to my little girls.
Who will become women who live in this nonsense of a world.
Who are so incredibly beautiful. Â Wonderfully and fearfully made. Passionate, feisty, creative and sometimes hard bloody work. But these ladies are so precious and one thing that makes me so angry is the pressure that they come under as little girls. I want them to be a thousand other great and fabulous things before they care about being ‘thin’
I have totally stolen this quote image from my fabulous friend at City girl at heart. Another mama to some incredible little women. 🙂
What a lovely post – I like that JK Rowling quote. Particularly relevant now I have a daughter. Thank you for linking up with #whatsthestory

My daughter’s called Hermione. Nuff said 🙂
Great post and, as always, great pics.
Such fabulous photos of your girls and such an important message. I want my daughter to be happy, healthy, clever, funny and with lots of friends. She’s heading in the right direction at the moment!

What a fabulous post and how gorgeous your girls are. I am sure with you there beside them, they will be just fabulous ;).
Hear, hear! Now that I have a daughter I am suddenly so much more aware of this. I don’t worry about the boys in quite the same way. Lovey post, quote and photos!

What a lovely post. Love the J.K Rowling quote x.
what a really beautiful post, thank you for linking up with #MagicMoments x
Beautiful, beautiful photos. I really need to learn how to group four photos together like that… mine end up on top of each other… really striking post!
Girls get it harder than boys, I think, but we live in a world with increasingly narrow definitions of what it means to be ‘normal’ or ‘cool’ for both sexes. I don’t know, in the longer term, how much influence parents have as role models compared to their children’s peers, but logically as society seems increasingly determined to pressure children towards some sort of ‘kidulthood’ the window of opportunity is narrowing… All we can really do is get in early, before all the labels, stereotypes and brand awareness kicks in, and try to give our kids the confidence to reject it all.
That is a great post, and exactly how we feel about our 3 girls 🙂
Wise words from both J.K.Rowling and yourself.
It would be wise of me to tell my daughters this is what I want for them…

Too true – I want my girls to know that they are beautiful and they are loved and give them the confidence to face the world head on.
