Not-So-Desperate Housewives
It
seems all you hear in this moment of Desperate Housewives
is how accomplished women and Ivy League graduates are giving up
on battering the glass ceiling and "having it all", and
instead are choosing the role of stay-at-home mom, at least for
a while. It's a tough choice and not always a happy one, but it
doesn't have to be that way. Just in time for the at-home revolution,
here's Happy Housewives, a funny new book that helps you
pull it off with pizzazz.
Author and self-proclaimed happy housewife Darla Shine left a high-powered
career as a TV producer to take care of her kids and found herself
challenged by the hardest job in the world. But, when she made the
mistake of complaining to her own mom, she was told to stop being
such a spoiled brat, and got the wake-up call she needed. Shine
pulled herself together and realized that being able to stay home
is a privilege, and doing it well is easier than she thought.
Happy Housewives offers an amusing ten-step program for reinvention,
helping frumpy housewives everywhere cast off their sweatpants,
rekindle their romances, and reclaim their rightful place as hot
mamas. The book features daily and weekly schedules to get organized,
fast recipes for even the most kitchen-phobic, and tips to help
at-home moms embrace their inner housewife and make the most of
their mommy years.
Admittedly, the happy housewife is not a lifestyle everyone wants,
or can afford. But if you find yourself a SAHM, why not have some
fun and do it in 21st century-style, not à la 1950?
