Raising a Family with a Chef

I’ll be honest.  This is by far the hardest topic I’ve written about on this blog yet.  I always knew there would be a time to talk about it, but honestly, when you’re in the middle of a struggle or trial, writing about it and sharing about it with the world is the last thing you want to do.

Yet, here I am.  About to spill my guts about what it’s like to parent alongside a chef.  It’s not easy.

Parenting is a trillion times harder than I EVER thought it would be.

It’s very rewarding and I love being a Mom.  But WOW!  It’s not easy!

The Chef Wives are Talking (part 2) . . .

I’m back this week with another set of blog posts about being married to or dating a chef.  Just like last week, these posts are on lifestyle blogs (where the bloggers write about a variety of topics) and they just happen to be married to a chef.  🙂

I hope you enjoy reading them and I’m sure they would love it if you would comment on the posts if you can relate!

Before I send you on your way, I’m looking for chef wives and girlfriends to guest post on my blog. There are more details here, but I thought I’d mention it in case you had some time tonight and would like to write.  🙂

Happy reading!

The Chef Wives are Talking . . .

I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy reading what other chef wives and girlfriends have to say about this crazy life we live being married to a chef.

I’m guessing you enjoy reading about it too since you are on my blog right now.  (Thanks!)

If you’ve never written a blog before, it’s not as easy as you think.  A lot of time goes into writing posts and even more time goes in to promoting them.  (Because who wants to take all that time write a post and only have 5 people read it?)

It’s also a bit of a risk.  I’m just a normal person who is willing to share part of my life on the internet.  That’s a bit scary if you think about it.  I will always be honest when sharing about our family, and because of that, sometimes it’s really personal and I’m not quite sure how people will respond.  That’s tough.
