My teen spends a good amount of her time on the computer as much as the rest of us do. I make an effort to keep an eye on what she is up to while on the Internet and it has given us plenty of opportunities to spend time with each other while surfing the net.
She has been into fashion and make-up since she turned 3 and we have spent a lot of time together playing with different girlie things, putting on make-up and doing hair. Her girlfriends used to come over and invade my suitcases full of old colorful clothing that they could play dress-up with and have a blast. I’d always had as much glitter on the floor as dust bunnies, that is before she has toned such things down with age.
Makeup is a big part of being a little girl, they watch Mom putting it on, day after day, and boys even like putting it on, they just called it by another name “War Paint”!
