Guest Post at Kludgy Mom

June 5, 2013 by Elaine

I don’t talk about s.e.x. very much here on the blog. So maybe that’s why I am talking about it today on someone else’s! Gigi gave me the floor at Kludgy Mom and so I wrote about how my own body image tends to affect “special” time with my hubby. Yeah, I know.  Kinda heavy…
