Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women. 

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Independence Day

I have so many posts in my head and so little time to write them. I'll catch up soon. For now, I'm going to give an ode to one of my favorite holidays, "The 4th of July"!
 
My love of the holiday is chronicled in my post from last year, A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom: 4th of July Fashion,  http://chatonsworld.blogspot.com/2012/07/peek-into-life-of-blogger-mom-4th-of.html. I just reviewed that piece again. We were cute last year. I need to start planning our outfits for tomorrow! :-)
 

Why I love the 4th of July

 
I love the 4th of July because it tends to be warm, which leads to lots of fun. It's a great break from work, which is welcome by this working mom. We tend to be around our families.  Tomorrow we are hosting a cookout, which is a great excuse to have great food and great drinks! (If you have any special 4th of July cocktail recipes send them to me!) Also, I am partial to festivals.  Pittsburgh hosts the Pittsburgh Three Rivers Regatta every year that has lots of good food and free, family fun.

If that's not enough, who doesn't have fun when there are fireworks?! Even though we get our fair share of fireworks because of the generosity of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the ones on the 4th of July are special. Whenever I see fireworks they tend to punctuate fun-filled times and inspire romance...

The other reason I like this holiday is because there are no presents to buy. The sole purpose is F-U-N! Wait, I may need to re-visit my history lessons. I think I vaguely recall something about it being Independence Day. I may buy a flag or something... :-)
 
 Enjoy your holiday!!!
