What will happen is that the algebraic equation will plot out a graph in the shape of a heart, like so: Feel free to share […]
We do our best not to push our girls into stereotypical gender roles or characteristics. And while we would secretly love it if they turn into tomboys, we never force them to play (or not play) with certain toys and encourage them to allow their own preferences to develop. As it turns out, our 16-month-old […]
