The Life of "Mom Writes"

Hello Again!!!

Since last my blog many things have happened! One such thing being me stumbling over a little blog called "Mom Writes" by Mary Tsao. Mary Tsao is a full-time housewife and part-time writer. Mary writes about her day-to-day achievements being a devout wife and mother. In a recent blog of hers Mary tells of her husband's birthday and how she made a yellow cake in tradition. For years she has made yellow cakes except for last year when she made a chocolate cake and decided that this year she'd go with tried and true yellow cake with chocolate frosting =p. I love Mary's blog because she is a typical housewife of the 50s and 60s (cooking, cleaning, caring for her son, and baking!) I am a person who is interested, better yet obsessed with the "perfect" American family!! That is what intrigues me the most a woman of the 21st century who loves being a stay at home MOM and is happy with it!! Not that Christopher J. Logan is a sexist pig but I feel that we as Americans have let some traditions slip away. I also feel that because Moms and Dads are so busy no one has a chance to raise a child. Not that women should be locked indoors and caged but to a certain extent women and even men should have the responsibility to BUILD a home and not just live in a house! But who am I even the wisest mind has yet something to learn! Until next time..............

Good post, and I just got a brainstorm for your research paper topic. If you are interested in housewives, you might think about looking at some blogs as your primary object of study. You could select a few sites where moms blog and see what they have to say... just a thought. A few of your classmates picked similar sites, so you could read through their posts and see if any of the bloggers interested you.
