Welcome to the November 26 edition of the Mothers and Daughters Blog Carnival! I have been thrilled with the posts this week, and I know you will laugh and cry as you read today.
I usually don't do an "Editor's Choice" or featured post, but today, I couldn't resist. I started this carnival partly to pool together resources to help each other in this daunting task of raising girls in today's world. As I ready Karen Shanley's post, I was blown away, and thought, "Wow, I hope I have this much wisdom when I encounter a situation like this with my daughter." So, today's featured post is:

I am so thankful for all the incredible ladies that participate here! I get so much from your inspiration, information and comic relief, and I hope I can give just an ounce of it back!
