Fat Has Taken On a Whole New Meaning
I have a tough time with the word "fat," mainly because since having a child, it’s how I feel on most days. And quite frankly, I prefer it be used to refer to babies, the singing lady, and these new handmade stuffed animals I found by Jen at The Sweetest Pea.
Perfect Madness: A Perfect Read, For the Most Part
I just finished reading Judith Warner’s Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety. Considering I haven’t read a book since I became a mother, that in itself should tell you a lot.
