Raising Girls and House of Fifty

 

The anniversary issue of House of Fifty launched yesterday, and as usual, Janell did a great job of putting together a beautiful, colorful issue.

I especially liked the paintings she featured (on the cover and inside) by Lulie Wallace.  My favorite is entitled “Flowers for Emily.”  Go figure.

I’m also honored to be a contributor for the article, “Mothers Raising Daughters” (page 166).

Since I’m only six years into this journey of raising girls, I’m by no means an expert, but it was fun to think about what I want to teach them in the long run.  (At the time I gave Janell the info for the article, I didn’t know we’d be adding another girl to the mix!)

For those of you with daughter experience, feel free to share your wisdom with me.   :)  (After you read the new House of Fifty, of course.)
