Just The Way We Are
This is a hard post to write. It’s surprising how hard it is to find the words, actually, considering that after much soul-searching and late night text message marathons with the friends I’ve made through writing. But then again, I guess knowing what needs to be done doesn’t make the doing any easier, even […]
by Pauline Campos and Margaret Elysia Garcia The editors of Girl Body Pride wish you a very Happy New Year’s and a 2014 low on shame and high on pride. We decided to kick off the new year by sharing a joint post of resolutions to make our lives, the lives of our children, and […]
As I write this, my just turned 9 year old daughter is sleeping beside me, curled up and making sleep sounds. We are still in that post Christmas stupor and I’m feeling a bit strange that this was the first birthday and Christmas that the daughter wanted absolutely no toys whatsoever. Her list to Santa […]
Newsflash, y’all! Kim Kardashian has her body back. No surgery, haters. So stop your finger-pointing and snide headlines, already. US Weekly calls Kim’s “exclusive” picture proof the ultimate revenge for all the post-baby body bashing stories. And as far as the media (and a large segment of our body conscious society is concerned), that’s all […]
by Kelly Wickham “Don’t step directly over the graves, mom,” my youngest warned me. “It’s earth. It’s ok. We’re not here to disturb,” I called over my shoulder. It’s Fall and I like taking pictures.

by Robin O’Bryant Thanksgiving was fun. We spent a week at The Farm in Jasper, Alabama with Zeb’s family. I love them and I have the best in-laws in the world. I don’t even have to try to like them, because I just do. They are awesome. And I say that because I don’t want […]
I have a confession to make. My career and passion is in the beauty business. I manage a salon and retail shop. But that’s not the confession.For most of my life I thought I was ugly. I used to be the girl who thought I was too ugly to get my picture taken. I […]
Watch your back, Cinderella I hate spiders. If all the Disney Princesses tried to take out Wonder Woman in a fight, I’d put money on Wonder Woman. Hands down. Real shredded coconut “tastes” like paper to me. Shut. Up. When I am out in public here in Maine and make eye contact with another […]
I’m getting divorced. I just got dumped. I went from being a wife to a girlfriend in a very short period of time. Every self-help book is rolling its tear-stained eyes at me- I told you so. Rebound. Rebound. I suppose, technically, it was a rebound- but it was with someone I’ve known for twenty […]
