Welcome!

Welcome to The Real Housewives of NOLA. No, it's not a new spin-off of the popular Bravo series...this is a blog about the REAL housewives of the New Orleans metro area. Wives, mothers, friends, sisters, lovers...we're real, every day women. What we hope to do is share our stories and we hope you'll enjoy the ride. Our goal is to have a variety of housewives--we're the women you meet on the street; we're the women praying the grocery line goes faster so we escape with our screaming child. We're the women who stand in front of the closet and wonder if we can squeeze our behind into those jeans. We burn bread, fix flat tires, fight with in-laws, wait for the line on the pregnancy test. We're the women who enjoy our couple time and perhaps don't WANT children. We've loved and lost. We laugh, cry, love, hate, and enjoy life---just like you do. We hope you'll enjoy our journey together.

The Real Housewives of NOLA is also looking for bloggers. Our goal is to have a wide variety of women authors. 

What Are We Looking For?

*Creative, energetic, fun, independently driven "housewives" from a variety of lifestyles!
*Must live in the New Orleans Metro Area in one of these parishes: Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines.
*Must have experience in blog writing, although formal writing experience/education is not required. Basic blogger.com knowledge is required.
*Minimum of 1-2 posts a week, post requirement will vary based on how many housewives help contribute to the blog.
*We're looking for housewives in a variety of lifestyles. We want to show different pictures of real housewives lives! So, are you an army wife? Working mom? No children? Living Together? Trying to conceive? Traditional housewife? UN-traditional housewife? Work at home? Garden? Sew? Blended family? Battling an illness? Caring for your parents? Someone we left out?? We want to hear from you!
