I was very much a tomboy growing up and still am - I hate wearing dresses/skirts and my hair is very short. I'm always kind of at a loss when I think about how I portray femininity. To be honest, even thinking about growing out my hair makes me want to die a little on the inside - I hate long hair!! I am trying to dress more feminine though and focusing on wearing more womanly blouses and such with my short hair and pants :)Krislinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323048843568458474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-10123920700682839132010-09-10T20:04:24.869-07:002010-09-10T20:04:24.869-07:00I have been reading Fascinating Woman and loving t...I have been reading Fascinating Woman and loving the things I am learning. The gifts and specific roles that God has given each of us and how they complement each other is actually freeing. I appreciate the ways you are teaching your children about gender roles and enjoying them.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932108331857218053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-39088089383413143022010-09-10T13:28:58.140-07:002010-09-10T13:28:58.140-07:00Different questions came to my mind like....

Yeah for change.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190522981503224243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-20099613590078616652010-09-10T11:23:22.123-07:002010-09-10T11:23:22.123-07:00Thanks Jocelyn.

My mother bought "skinny jeans" for a boy cousin's birthday, they look so feminine and everyone was a little shocked when my oldest asked him why he wears girl clothes.Kellie,https://www.blogger.com/profile/12005555204112698314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-37080732364040709182010-09-10T09:59:16.282-07:002010-09-10T09:59:16.282-07:00Well said.

I think. And that is how I hope to be with my kids.
