Stylish and Affordable Prom Dresses If you have a teenage daughter then you know firsthand that prom season is here. Whether she’s going with the love of her (now) life or in a group of friends, no doubt she’s already been looking around for THE perfect dress. All of the girls that are in and out of our house have…
Fearless Females Friday “Here’s to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.” Raising three daughters, I’m constantly trying to show them positive examples of strong women for them to model after. There are so many women doing so many amazing things today – and honestly – all throughout history. But I realized that…
Parenting Daughters When you’re a parent, you get lots of advice. And if you know me, you know that I hate unsolicited advice. I hated it when I was single and people told me how to find a husband. I hated it when I was pregnant and people told me how I should take care of myself. I hated it when…
I have no idea when it happened, but one day, several years ago, I turned to look at my oldest daughter and something was just different. Was it her hair? Was she wearing it in a new style? No.. that wasn’t it. Was it makeup? Had she snuck in to the bathroom and started playing America’s Next Supermodel? Nope.. clear…
STEM and Our Daughters Personally, I’ve always thought that being smart was cool but being a girl who’s smart hasn’t always been recognized. As a matter of fact, for as far as we’ve come to empower girls to embrace their smart and sometimes “geeky” side, we still have a long way to go. Walk down the toy aisle of any…

The past week or so has been crazy so I proclaimed Sunday to be my “do nothing, go nowhere” day and it was just short of heavenly. It was a cold, crappy day which made it all that much easier. Since we’re in the throes of NHL playoffs, the Rooster pretty much takes over the living room and if the…
I heard an interesting statistic this morning. Couples who have daughters have a higher percentage of divorce rates than those with sons. I have three daughters which, according to this statistic, makes me 10% more likely to get divorced. This is on top of the already high 50% divorce rate. Whilst I’m not looking to learn about a divorce lawyer……
I was informed yesterday that Mackenzie would be hosting what can only be termed as an “anti-party”. What’s an anti-party, you ask? It’s the party you throw when you’ve been snubbed from another party. Remember the parties back in elementary school where you invited the whole class or at least all the kids of the appropriate sex? Yeah, that doesn’t…
A letter arrived from camp yesterday! Our first..ever! We both received one today.. if that doesn't get you missing the kids, nothing will. Kristen@4HensAndRooster@KristenDaukas
