Ohhh myyy, Meredith is so precious!! What an absolute cutie she is😍😍

[@annelizalea]

My sisters and I weren't allowed to play with Barbies either! We turned out okay 😉😂

[@bethw3573]

100% agree with the Barbie thing as well as undying support of traditional gender roles 😆❤️

I'm with you on the no Barbies! I grew up with them and loved them and played with them for hours...But I genuinely think they contributed to me just NOT knowing what a woman's body was actually supposed to look like. I thought a completely flat midsection was the norm and I didn't feel great about myself in comparison. Years later I realized how influenced I was by those dolls. My girls have been given one Barbie that I hope to phase out eventually when they aren't looking lol

[@rachelsalcove]

I completely agree!!

[@lucijaurek133]

Love your videos! You look especially beautiful in this one. Also love seeing your wonderful family. Your girls are getting so big!

[@rachelsalcove]

Awe thank you so much!! 🫶🏻

[@milenataylor2]

Aww…this was a good video and then your baby and the piggy bank made that video - great!

[@irene9062]

Ah Yey! What a fun family day/outing! Your husband is hilarious! Also I probably won’t allow my daughter to play with Barbie either. I didn’t know it was controversial to not play with a Barbie doll!

[@rachelsalcove]

Thanks for watching!! ❤️ I think it's just controversial because so many people see them as a classic childhood toy that doesn't cause harm.

[@MS-ns2zm]

Lovely family!!! I've banned myself from those places hahah I end up leaving with things I want but don't need ! 😅

[@rachelsalcove]

I totally relate to that hahah! The self control it takes to walk in those doors and only get what you went in for is insane! 😂

[@spanishforkidswithmissjuanita]

Oh my gosh, Meredith is so cute!

[@rachelsalcove]

I full heartedly agree 🙌🏻🙌🏻😍

[@Naturallyemilyy]

We have a few character dolls but I’m thinking of getting Lottie dolls instead of Barbie’s! I always just played with baby dolls but my daughter asks for Barbie dolls often 😝

[@rachelsalcove]

Oooo what are Lottie dolls?? My kids have Manhattan baby dolls and littlest pet shops and that's good enough for us haha! 😂

[@Naturallyemilyy]

@@rachelsalcove they are sweet little dolls that actually look like a little girl and not Barbie! Their features are so cute too. Not perfect shaped eyebrows, no provocativeness. You should look them up! :)

[@abelu8362]

Seriously Starbucks 😂

[@Gabrielle.Steele]

Could you share more whether in a comment or a future video on why no Barbie’s. I have a son who is still young haha so no Barbie’s right now. But I used to play with them and loved them. I’m curious why you say no Barbie’s.

[@rachelsalcove]

I was allowed to play with Barbies as a kid... But as an adult I recognize the harm they had on me as a child since they promoted unrealistic beauty standards. I also don't like the idea of having dolls that are shaped like a woman (unrealistically but still) where you are undressing them down to nothing and dressing them up again. Just seems odd to me.... But I also know plenty of Moms who don't feel that way! I don't think having a barbie is morally wrong. Just something I won't personally have in my home. My kids have Manhattan Toy Company dolls and Littlest Pet Shops which they LOVE! ❤️❤️

[@Gabrielle.Steele]

@@rachelsalcove oh okay thank you for this! And I totally get where you are coming from!

[@ginnypowell8324]

I was never allowed Barbie , but was allowed Sindy .. is she still even a thing? . I have boys and they never wanted dolls so not an issue for me . X

[@rachelsalcove]

Haha I've never even heard of Sindy! Oh yeah with boys i'm sure you won't have to worry about dolls haha!
