Mom & Daughter’s World Collide: Downton Abbey Meets One Direction

February 23, 2013 by Shaylene King In: Uncategorized Tagged: author, daughters, Downton Abby, favorite One Direction Song, favorite tv shows. One Direction, friendships, teens, tweens, What Makes YOu Beautiful

My daughter Jordan and I are very different. She loves One Direction. I like One Republic. Her fashion sense is more urban while I am more classic. I am a touchy feeling kind of person, she…is not. Although we are different,  I often try to find ways to celebrate how our differences can bring us together.  Here is one such example.

I love the television show Downton Abbey and it is no secret, if you know my teen daughter, she is obsessed with the boy band, One Direction! The girl is so enamored by them, I felt I needed to write a devotional, The Cure for a One Direction Infection, A Devotional to add balance to her obsession. You can download two bonus devotions here if you subscribe to my blog.

I used to think I needed to take Jordan fun places or spend money on her to make sure she knew I loved and accepted her for being different than me.  I have come to learn over the years, it doesn’t always have to be some huge endeavor to bring people together. Sometimes, it’s the little things. So without further adieu, I give you Downton Abbey Perform One Direction’s What Makes You Beautiful.Your welcome. 🙂

What are some ways you celebrate difference with someone you love?
