Pride and Panties For Us

Ever hear the expression "Put on your big girl panties and deal with it"? What if your big girl panties are old or, dare we say it, ratty? When was the last time you were proud of your panties?

We all deserve to feel good in the clothes we are in. They need not be the most expensive nor flashy, merely clean and sans holes will cover the basics (as well as more if you are walking around in ensembles with rips!) I know, it seems small in the grand scheme of life, but we want you to wear your panties proudly...and the rest of your wardrobe too!

Many moms are so overcome with Mommy Guilt that spending any time (or money) on themselves leaves them feeling as if they are somehow neglecting the needs of their family. How many of you dress your kids in "the latest" but you are wearing a schmatte?

Here is an opportunity our stalker fan Phil emailed us about today. We don't often write about contests but this one sounded like one we would feel okay about promoting on our blog.

We like the focus of this contest which is on what people love about their clothing, instead of what they hate about their bodies in clothing. We like that it focuses on the experience we enjoy while wearing the clothes instead of making a claim that obtaining a particular type of clothing adds enjoyment to your experiences. We like that the focus is on the positive aspects of how we live our lives and not on who is "better" at doing laundry or some equally stupid mommy war crap.

We also like that the winner will receive a $5,000 shopping spree! (Well, actually Devra really likes it. I'd prefer cold hard cash because I hate to shop and need Lasik!)

At any rate, 5G's should put you in plenty of big girl panties so you can take on the world. Even if you don't end up winning the contest, go get yourself some panties to be proud in or do something else you've been thinking about but haven't done for yourself. You deserve it and your family will benefit from your new found happiness!
