Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.lifeandwhim.com/first-moments-blog/antidote-to-the-princess-industrial-complex Quotes to ponder: "Nature is a place to be creative, imaginative, adventurous, and to step outside of comfort zones. That's what being a kid is all about." "There's nothing wrong with pink and princesses, but if that's all we expose young girls to then it has an impact on them. And it's not a positive one." "Time spent outside, exploring nature, is some of the best time to bond and connect as a family."
