new book!

i picked this book up at the bookery last night. i thumbed through it at the store, and couldn't put it down, and now i can't wait to get all the way through. it is an excellent resource on steering our girls through the crazy, mixed-up culture that is surrounding them today. the conversations are designed for little girls all the way up through teenage years. Invaluable! you can find it on amazon.
