Smart. Sexy. Fun.
While Dutch moms say the key to a happy life is a part-time or no-time job, German moms find the same life stressful because they want to work. But there is a whole other type of stay-at-home moms in every developed country: those who stay, because they can afford to. They've been called jet-set moms, spending days shopping in high-end boutiques, at life-coaching classes, and traveling with Read more
Teacher Frances Childs says the teenage girls she knows want to grow up to become doctors, lawyers, and housewives. She writes in the Daily Mail today that ambitious young women realize that educated and well-off "jet-set" housewives can actually have it all. Childs claims American women would follow the lead of Dutch women, declining to work full-time and instead spending time with their Read more
The third most important factor in a happy marriage: sharing the housework, according to a 2007 Pew Research Center study. Yet many of the happily married women I know still gripe that their husbands don't do enough around the house. Or, they do enough, but only when they are told to. It's an ugly truth that the most liberated, headstrong women are loathe to admit. Which is why I found this Read more
I've never been a full time stay-at-home mother (except for when I was on maternity leave), but I was raised by one and feel the sting every time I hear the term "housewife" used to describe a mom who opted out of the work force to focus on her children. The SAHM mamas I know aren't popping bonbons on the couch and watching soap operas or scrubbing the kitchen floor with a toothbrush and playing Read more
After eight scandalous seasons, our time spent on Wisteria Lane with the Desperate Housewives came to a close this week with the two-hour series finale. The episode tied up some recent loose ends, like the murder trial of Gaby's stepfather, and also gave us a peek into the futures of all of the housewives we've come to know and love. The episode had some series finale staples, including a death, Read more
Things appear to be going smoothly for on-again couple Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz, who were spotted catching a train together in Spain earlier today. The pair were all smiles and laughing while rolling their luggage through the depot. They're fresh off a stop in Cannes, where Eva was on hand to check out this year's film festival and chat with press as one of L'Oréal's brand ambassadors. Eva Read more
After eight seasons of drama, lust, betrayal, and friendship, Desperate Housewives is finally coming to its end — that is, unless the gals of Wisteria Lane opt to do a post-series movie, a la Sex and the City. Of course it would be hard to do a movie if Bree is in prison for life. A possibility, which, by the looks of these finale photos, might be a reality for the redhead. As we know, she's Read more
Week two on The Bachelorette brought plenty of action, and I'm not just talking about the chemistry between Emily and Kermit — though that was slightly uncomfortable. No, I'm referring to the first one-on-one dates, the first group date, and all the poolside drama. It looks like we've got a veritable Real Housewives of Charlotte on our hands, only in this case the housewives are men and Botox Read more
