What makes me "normal"?
For one, I reside in Normal, Illinois. Born and raised actually. I'm also "normal" because I'm NOT like the housewives you see on TV. My life is not easy, I do not have a nanny, I don't make millions, I don't succeed at everything I try, BUT everyday I strive to be a good mom/wife/friend/sister/aunt/daughter/etc with as little drama as possible. And I try to work in a shower everyday :)
I'm not the only normal one, there are lots of "normal" housewives here in Normal, Illinois and I'll introduce you to some of them. We'll share stories, advice, recipes, tips, and have fun doing it!

Melissa Ash: I'm a mom of 2 very energetic boys (ages 12 and 8 - soon to be 9) and married to a wonderful husband (who, despite my efforts, still won't put the toilet seat down and is a believer of "yellow let it mellow"!) I'm a stay-at-home-mom, but I also own a graphic design company called BEYOND FUNCTION CORPORATION.
I have the best family in the world - a blessing I could never take for granted. I'm addicted to chocolate, love red wine and every week I say I'm going to "detox" and go sugar free, but quite frequently fail at these attempts, especially on days when the boys are driving me crazy! I never thought I'd say such phrases as, "Maybe jumping off the counter isn't a great idea" or "did you really just pee all over the wall?" I love life, despite its challenges, and hope to share a piece of my "normal" life with you. Life is so much better when you have people you can relate to and share stories with!
