Five years ago today, SOAM was born. I’m celebrating by running a contest both here and there. This one’s easy – just leave a comment here and you are entered to win a copy of Fifty Nude Women, which is one of my favorite resources on this topic and I cannot recommend it highly enough. You may enter both contests (but I’ll make sure there’s only one winner). I’ll run both contests until this Friday at midnight and I’ll announce the winners on Saturday Monday. The winners will have until midnight on Monday Wednesday to get me their addresses, or I’ll choose another winner.
Good luck!
UPDATE: Contest closed, winner announced!

Hi Bonnie and readers, good afternoon !
First of all, this is my first post here on this site and the first post on this topic either.
Maybe it’s not a coincidence, but a result of a good work that has began 5 years ago.
I became familiar with this website like 2 months ago and became very surprised with the sense of inteligent and feelings that a lot of mothers share here almost everyday.
This is what we are! It’s perfect to write/upload our own images here and check that we are not (and we don’t need) to be like a supermodel. We are real womans, real mothers with passion, emotions, family…
This site just let me know that I am beautiful as I am.
Have a good day and congratulations for the 5th birthday!
Sincerely,
Renata

One of these days I’m going to get around to writing an actual post for this site. I’ve already participated in The Stripped Project, but there’s more I want to say than will fit into the framework of TSP’s questionnaire.

I wrote you an entry for TIAW, Bonnie, but I still need to take pictures. Maybe Thursday when my husband and I are finally home (and awake) at the same time?

Beautiful.

I love SOAM, it makes me cry some of the stories, but most, it gives me power as a mother to know that it’s ok to be a little “flawed” and be insecure about it… The flaws are what make us human, and what makes us unique and beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Happy 5th birthday!

Woohoo! Happy birthday to SOAM and Congratulations to you!

Happy birthday, SOAM! I love this site and it gives new hope to a world that has grown to strive for magazine perfection, and feel disgust toward the beauty of their REAL bodies when they look in the mirror.

Happy Birthday SOAM!!! I love this site and I come back to it often =)
