May 31, 2019 • 2 Comments

how-this-started

How does one actually become a bored housewife? I wasn’t always bored-believe me being a mom to four children in seven years with a husband who traveled a ton for work did not make for boredom, or free time for that matter. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my time with my kids, so … [Read more...] about How Did I Get Here

There were so many incredible outfits shared on #c There were so many incredible outfits shared on #clothesthatdontboreme so here’s part 2 of the #weeklyroundup  The other day I was talking with @sallysquiggles (who is fabulous & if you don’t follow this sassy lady, you’re missing out!) Anyway, we both agreed that it’s so hard to choose who to include in each roundup as so many wonderful ladies join in & we don’t want to leave anyone out (I feel like it’s the mom in me-I always remember telling my kids to include/invite everyone so no ones feelings get hurt).  So what I’ve been doing is this:  Each week I try to include different ladies. So if I shared your outfit last week you may not be in this week’s roundup, but you could still show up on my stories!  You need to be following me @diaryboredhousewife in order to be included in the weekly roundup.  Ladies, please know that I so appreciate all of you who join in and support the hashtag.
