What did you do all day?

Speaking of housewives, if you have not yet seen The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio you must. It is based the true story of Evelyn Ryan. Her daughter wrote a book about her and their lives... how she raised 10 children on "25 words or less".

Of course, having 1 or 2 kids is nothing compared to 10. Especially in those days without modern conveniences. Just to get a glimpse back in time to see she always did her hair, wore a girdle and dress every day, etc.... meanwhile running a huge household makes you realize how much things have changed.

After seeing the clips of the Time Warp Wives and how happy and perfect they seemed to be, we just have to remember that life is not always so perfect. This movie certainly proves it.

I'd like to read the book too, hint-hint... (Christmas!!)

Talking about hair made me think of Evelyn and this photo of her, where she says she forgot to comb out her hair.... lol... but it looks gorgeous!
