we were inspired by this commercial

Here is what we like about this commercial by Dove 
(no we are not getting paid to post it…we wish).

We like that the girls and their moms are not wearing make up.

We like that they look and sound like real girls and moms.

We like that they don’t hide the truth or the honest emotions – even when it is not so pretty.

But mostly we like what the commercial doesn’t say, but what we got from it, about how we feel about ourselves at different ages, about judging ourselves, about worrying about how others see us and our kids, this whole idea of posting pictures online and mostly how our kids absorb, react and are influenced by how we feel about ourselves and what we can learn from them.
