Day 43 - Dress for a Princess

Ruffles, feathers, sequence and frilly lace. I am not describing someone's cart as they check out from Joann Fabrics. No, I am describing Ryan's wardrobe.  Based on the way Ryan already stares at her clothes I can only imagine how things will progress over the years.

When I first found out that we were having girls, many things raced through my mind.  As they have gotten older and it's evident I have some girly-girls with a tiny bit of tomboy in there, I start to think about two things: them walking down the aisle at their weddings and watching them take pictures for school dances.  I just keep picturing how beautiful they will look, and how I will do everything in my power to give them the ability to have whatever fancy dress they fall in love with. I want to be able to make them feel like a princess (or a president/doctor/lawyer).

I think every girl should be afforded the opportunity to feel like a princess, so for today's random act of kindness, I am going to do my part to help that cause.   I am going to be donating money for a dress to The Princess Project.

The Princess Project works to "promote self confidence and individual beauty" by donating free prom dresses to girls in high school who are not able to afford them. With the help of these dresses, thousands of girls each year are able to enjoy one of the marquee nights in the world of a high schooler. If you have any recent new or gently used dresses that you believe a girl would want to wear to prom, please visit the above link for details on how to send.
