Happy Mother's Day

I don't normally post links, because...well, I rarely visit the links that other bloggers offer up. Today, I am making an exception. This is well worth your time. I would put it directly into my post, but NPR doesn't have an option for embedding. So any way, go here. Do it now!

What Does Your Belly Look Like?

This morning I discovered a really cool blog called The Belly Project. Friends Christy Tashjian and Karen Rayne started this project to combat the prevailing media imagery of perfectly fake bellies. Christy is a midwife and Karen is a Sex Educator, so they know a little something about what a real belly looks like. 

You can post your own belly photo, anonymously. It is really affirming to see the variety of shapes and sizes out there. I just sent my own picture, but I am tempted to post it here for you as well. This would effectively end my belly anonymity, but I've got an itch to do it. Should I? I will leave it to you, my readers, to decide. I mean, if you don't WANT to see my stretch marks, there's really no point in doing it, is there?

Correction...

Remember the other day when I explained my kinship with the 1950s aesthetic? Well, it seems that my domestic powers are in fact confined to the second half of the 20th century. Rachel over at Reservation for Six referred me to a site that can test your 1930s housewife prowess. I did not do well. It might have been this requirement that sunk my score:

Reacts with pleasure and delight to marital congress. 

I was laughing too hard to take the rest of the test seriously. It sounds like a dream where I end up naked in front of a Senate hearing and must prove how much I enjoy sex with my husband. Here's my score:



34
As a 1930s wife, I am
Poor
