A Remedy for Mother Judgement

Well, first there were the CDC guidelines to treat all women as “pre-pregnant,” as outlined in this article in the Washington Post and subsequent MetaFilter dicussion.

Return of the Happy Housewife

A little while, Literary Mama published my review of Darla Shine’s Happy Housewives. I half expected Shine to respond as she had to some of my previous blog posts, but my review was greeted by silence. Perhaps she hadn’t read it.
