I’ll be on the Today Show! I need you!
The Today Show is planning to air a story on SOAM this Friday morning. They want to interview some moms who have participated by posting their story here on SOAM.

Who Needs The Letter Between O & Q Anyway!
Also! Who needs question marks! These things are not imortant to my keyboard. Including a number of other items necessary for creating entries here. While I take my comuter back to the reair and make them fix this, I wont be able to make entries. Be back ASA~ hoefully. *sigh*
The Body Image Revolution Has Begun!
Sandy Kumskov of How To Love Your Body sent me an e-mail recently about a free teleseries online all about body image and everything that goes into it. It’s called The Body Image Revolution. Right now I am listening to Cyndi O’Meara talk about healthy foods from an anthropological perspective (not unlike Nourishing Traditions, from [...]
And the Winners are….
…Marissa C and Allison! I realize there are simpler ways to determine a winner, but I’m running on exhausted today and for a number of reasons that seem too much effort to explain, it turns out the more tedious method also happens to be the one requiring the least brainpower. My son – the one [...]
A Birthday! And a Giveaway!
In honor of SOAM’s upcoming fourth birthday, I am hosting a DVD giveaway! I happen to have a couple copies of 50 Nude Women which the producer, Margot, is refusing to let me pay for because she is clearly completely awesome. I first became aware of this short film through one of SOAM’s readers several [...]

You’ve found your Fairy Godmother and she wants to know how you would change your body if you could. Would it be your belly? Something unrelated to childbirth – like your nose? Would you change nothing? Share your wishes in the comments below. UPDATE: I am closing comments to the entry now. Thank you for [...]
Technical Problems
My stinkin’ router died. Or something. Feel free to curse it from afar. It deserves it. Until I can take it out in a field and go all Office Space all over it, posts here will be dependant on if and when I can find free wireless in a child friendly space. I can do [...]

Giving Thanks
Here in the US we are gearing up for our biggest harvest feast. While traditional images of pilgrims and cornucopias permeate decorations everywhere I go, I would like to take this a bit deeper this year and encourage myself – and you – to look at the so-called flaws in my body and consider them [...]
Happy Veteran’s Day!
We have had many a submission from a military wife, and a few in the service as well. Thank you, to those who serve our country, to the wives and families who sacrifice so much for us – thank you all for all you do!
Twitter – Should I Open an Account?
People have told me that I should have a Twitter account for SOAM and I have considered it, but I am unsure how much, exactly, I would have to say. What do you think? Would you follow? What would you like to see tweets about?
Site Maintenance – Done!
The site will be down this Saturday (June 6) for scheduled maintenance. Just FYI. Update – The site is back up and running. If you notice any bugs, please let me know at bonnie@theshapeofamother.com. Thanks!
New Server
They moved us to a new server last night and while I think everything looks good, if you find something wonky, please e-mail me at bonnie@theshapeofamother.com and I will let my host know. Thanks!
Promoting the site
The Shape of a Mother has been featured in the media worldwide, but has received less attention here in my own US than in other countries. My friends have started a campaign to get the site featured on Oprah, by writing letters and passing the idea on. I feel awkward promoting myself like this, but [...]
Back Online and Technical Problems Fixed!
Many, many thinks to my friend Graham who worked very hard yesterday to update the blogging software for me. The site was down for a few hours, but is back up and better than ever now. Luckily for us, this also solved our upload problems so I will get right to work on all those [...]

Small Technical Difficulties

TV Documentary! (Do you live in San Diego?)
I have spoken on the phone and in e-mail with two women, including Alex, the director, about this project.
