Not Like the “Others”

Posted on January 4, 2014 by Real Women

Almost Done

Posted on December 9, 2013 by Real Women

At the risk of sounding like I’m setting us back after several decades of struggling  for equality, I’m going to point out that even after all this time the management of the home is still largely the Real Woman’s realm.  … Continue reading →

‘Tis the Season

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Real Women

Ahhhh… The weekend.  A blissful respite from the work week, a time to relax, sleep in, and recharge.  Unless, of course you are a Real Women. In which case the weekend can be translated into “Two Days to Get Everything … Continue reading →

Peace and Comfort in the Familiar

Posted on June 23, 2013 by Real Women

I grew up in the country. Not big-sky-Montana-3-hours-from-the-nearest-town kind of country, but in farmland country, where there are no lines on the roads and a “next door neighbor” means you can see their house through the trees and can bike … Continue reading →
