Cats in Sweaters!

One of my very favorite bloggers Crazy Aunt Purl just posted a Flickr set from her cat sweater contest. Mercury is featured on the first page (but she's not wearing a sweater). These pictures are so funny!

Just what is the Cult of Domesticity?

"The Cult of Domesticity was a prevailing view among middle and upper class white women during the nineteenth century. The women who abided by these standards were generally literate, and lived in the north east, particularly New York and Massachusetts. Women were put in the center of the domestic sphere, and were expected to be a calm and nurturing mother, a loving and faithful wife, to be passive and delicate creature."(Wikipedia)

Okay...so I don't really fit that mold, being a highly independent woman, but I remembered the term from college and thought it would make a good blog title since I'm a new wife and homeowner!
