How did our mother's do it? They had so much less but lived so much better. Less stress all the way around. They knew how to stretch a dollar. They cooked homemade meals every night. My mother didn't even have a car. She never complained. She was happy taking care of her family.
 
The women in our neighborhood were all home. They coffee klatched while the children rode bikes, made mud pies, and life was good. I think their generation was a lot more secure than ours. They knew each other. The community was stronger. Their children were safe. We have a lot more pressure. A lot more stress. So what has changed? Society or us? I say a both. It is time for us to change it. I think we all have had enough.
 
We can bring back the good old days. We can provide the type of old fashioned traditional environment for our families. So no matter what the media throws at us. No matter how out of control society becomes. We can force change. We need to begin ourselves.  And as the recession worsens. What better way to spend less than to stay home and get back to basics.
 
Remember when;
 
The women would get dressed up each day and not walk around in sweats. Tammy is going to show us how to dress like a lady.
 
The chocolate cake mom made wasn't from the box. Robyn has some scrumptious old fashioned cakes and breads that will thrill your family.
 
Food didn't cost 25% of your disposable income. Dina has the tips you need to stretch your dollar at the grocery store.
 
The food you ate wasn't full of preservatives. Pucca shows us how modern technologies in food is killing us.
 
Women took pride in cleaning their own home. Dawn has a routine that will keep your house sparkling without you losing your mind.
 
Family time was important. Shops were closed on Sundays. Jia talks about how close family relations keeps us mentally sound.
 
Neighbors looked out for each other. Visit Renee as she tries to help our military wives get the items they need.
 
Join us each week in May as the Happy Housewives return to the good old days.




Before you send out the invites

Remember the following Darlocracy’s when it comes to planning your child’s birthday bash!

  1. No Favors!
  2. Do not spend over $200 on your child’s birthday!
  3. A child’s party does not have to be catered! Cake (made by mom) and ice cream are plenty!
  4. If you’re having a pool party – there must be a lifeguard or adult on duty to watch the kids!
  5. If parents are staying – provide them with refreshments, too!
  6. Make it clear – can parents stay or do you want them to leave?
  7. If you are bringing a gift – don’t ask what to bring!
  8. If you are inviting classmates – invite the whole classroom. Don’t leave anyone out.
  9. Be specific about what your expectations are from the parents, and from the host of the party!




The Joy is in the Journey

“As heard on “Happy Housewives” Radio, life coach Betty Crowson gives us 3 tips on how to get out of the midset that we have to “keep up with the Joneses”.

  1. List your priorities.
  2. Write down one good thing you can do for yourself.
  3. Write down something for which you are grateful.

Happy Housewives Club on the Radio

HHC on the radio is a huge hit. From coast to coast on more than 100 stations, my radio show is a dream come true for me. I have set up a new forum for all radio listeners who want to comment right here.

Talk about the radio show

And I want to take you all with me on my ride to paradise. I want you to co-host, guest host, call in, and be involved. Your voices are the voices America needs to hear. It is the housewives who run the homes and it is finally our turn.

My show will never be celebrity based. All of you are the real stars. The real heros.

Together we can show the world that it is the housewives who really have it all going on. We are smart, happy, hot mamas. Lift your spatulas girls.

Thank you Darla!!!

"I found Darla on the radio a month ago.
I joined this website within a day or two.
I read her book.
All I have to say is my husband has a smile on his face every day now, for the first time in months. I am not grouchy. I feel relaxed and in control of things. The kids are calmer. Our lives are happier."




love darla
