I was perusing the gossip sites and came across an interesting blurb from Kristen Stewart. She mentioned that while she was grateful for her fans she found the notoriety and fame a bit tedious and restrictive... aka, she couldn't really go anywhere anymore without being mobbed.
Well, Kristen, for you and all you other fan weary celebs have I got a haven for you! Now before I reveal this Eden of American "we don't really care if you're here, just don't litter, no loud music and please don't eat the daisies" community let me say that I am a late 40 something mom of three who doesn't really follow the younger celeb set but when you're looking at gossip to escape the daily grind you find the aforementioned dilemma a bit funny. If you want peace and quite Kristen (or SJP or Brad Paisley or Sting or even you Charlie Sheen...just kidding...please Charlie, don't even think about it) you can come to my neck of the woods and live in total anonymous bliss for a day or a week (because that’s about as long as I can stand guests). However, you'll have to like basic meals, a messy house and noisy kids who don't know who you are but would be thrilled if you would run around outside with them. I won't always be around so you'd have to have a sturdy pair of walking shoes (you don't want to drive, it would ruin the purpose of your visit), a love of vineyards, an appreciation for charm, a tolerance for small bugs and a great sense of humor.
What do I want in return? Nothing. Just offering some good ol' Irish hospitality for your weary fan sapped self. Ok....maybe just a t-shirt...

New Year, New Start
Hello everyone! Haven't posted in over a year but I'm motivated because I've got...(wait for it) a "MOM CAVE"! I've got music, perfect lighting, a lock on the door and eBay. What more could I want? Well, really, I know it's not much for some people but for the REAL HOUSEWIVES out there, we know this little bit of sanctuary is a little bit of heaven.
Getting to the REAL HOUSEWIVES story. I'd like the rest of the world to know that no, American families are not like that. At least 80 to 90% of them aren't. We don't do botox, boob jobs and bitch. We are too busy living REAL LIVES and are REAL HOUSEWIVES. We love our kids, we love our husbands, we do laundry, we go to soccer games and ballet recitals. We grocery shop, we get a manicure maybe once a month and we appreciate our husbands. Whether we work outside the home or inside the home we work our asses off and know how lucky we are to have the lives we do have. We have girls' night out, playdates and date nights. We don't wear makeup to bed, we get the car inspected and we try to get the Christmas cards out on time...all by ourselves. We don't have personal assistants, we don't have pools, we don't wear dresses at 1:00pm and have wine at 3:00 (ok, maybe some of us do but it's a treat, not a habit). That's the truth world. Hollywood entertainment? Enjoy...but its not reality tv.
Happy New Year!
