“Being a wife and a mother is a lot like being Superwoman!”
When I first heard someone say this, I was freshly engaged, excited about getting married, and dreaming about the perfect “housewife” I was going to be. “Pshh, that will be easy!” I thought to myself, even as I looked around and every “wife and mother” was silently laughing and nodding. “It couldn’t be that hard!” I tried to convince myself. At the time there were two other girls with me all freshly engaged and in the same state I was, delusion. I don’t know what we expected, the pastor to hand us our cape and boots right after we handed him his check or that we would wake up the next morning with the ability to freeze time or clean in a flash. I guess we all figured that since we survived college and college roommates we were safe and we could handle anything that was thrown at us, I guess we now understand why they kept girls in one dorm and boys in the other!
Don’t get me wrong, I love being married! My husband is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me, and on most days can do dishes 10 times better than I can, but when it comes to entertaining guests or celebrating something special he’s a teen girl in an auto shop.
Entertaining is a lot different married than when you were single. Instead of parties that consist of playing Wii, eating potato chips, guzzling Mountain Dew, and sending out a mass text 10 minutes before it starts you now have to plan and get creative. I know it sounds stressful and time consuming, but in fact it could be a lot of fun.
If you are a lot like me and the women I associate with, than this blog is just for you. Today’s women are so busy with their careers, school, family, friends, and volunteer work that instead of enjoying these creative moments, we freak out.
My name is Tiffany Hooper and I am a modern day Superwoman and I LOVE planning events. Whether it’s a birthday, special occasion, or just weekly pizza night I love making these events memorable and fun. I spend my free time looking at new ideas, trying out new recipes, and sharing them with my friends.
We all have that ability to be Superwoman!
