Can someone remind me when, and why the anti-bra movement lost momentum? And I don’t mean Kate Hudson. I mean everyone.

i’m all for the anti bra movement. bring it on. this of course comes from someone who can get away with no bra because i’m the president of the itty bitty titty committee.

This has been something I’ve really missed during my pregnancy: proudly not wearing a bra. The world just doesn’t allow it if you’re bigger than an A.

  yes, and pregnancy is just the time to introduce more elastic & bands into your life, isn’t it? I’ve reverted almost completely to beach cover-ups as my daytime city look.

I love being braless. I have loved being braless for a good part of the last year because of nursing. Nursing tanks are great

Hi! I live in Vermont with my husband Joe and our four daughters: 11, 9, 6, and 3.

Writing on this blog is fluid. In an effort to just keep going I try to publish things before they feel ready or perfect, and I often come back and edit them again, later on. Its primary purpose is a way to engage with others on topics that otherwise swirl about in my mind in a lonely way. I spend most of my time homeschooling and learning alongside the girls. I grew up in Michigan and was homeschooled with my six siblings until I went to high school. I believe in God; our family attends a Mennonite church.
