Bratz Dolls Contribute to the Sexualization of Young Girls*
Every so often I receive an email forward that is really worth passing along. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Bratz dolls– they are scantily clad girls who are “popular” and attractive to young women. They encourage young girls (as young as age 4) to dress provocatively to increase their own sexuality. Please take a look at this link and take a moment to send the letter to Scholastic Books to help the moment to discontinue bringing the Bratz books into our schools. Bratz Newsletter Thank you.

The Hubster and I are in no rush as we feel it’s very important to finish our post-secondary educations before having children, and we’re enjoying just spending some time just the two of us. I realize that some of these couples are in a different place than we…

Lost Exam?
This morning I lived every university students dream. My professor lost our exam. Let’s start at the beginning. My university just revamped the whole English program, so in order to complete my degree on time next year I needed to take a couple of second year credits to catch up. So, I took a Restoration to Romantics course, and at the last minute decided to switch from the section I was initially in to one that I knew some people in. First good decision. I ended up with a really nice prof who is brilliant, but extremely scatter-brained and eccentric. She was often late for class, forever losing things and…
