The Trad Wife Trend

Ellyn and Lauren

Today we started a new series where we discuss current trends and what we think about them. You know we have thought about most things we come across.

You've heard about it. You've probably seen videos about it on social media. The trad wife is making a comeback. And to think, we were doing it before it was trendy. Just kidding. Seriously, though, being a traditional homemaker has been around since the beginning of time. Only recently, is it making a resurgence as a life goal for women. There is great fulfillment in staying home and raising a family. Women are starting to see that.

We discussed a few of our pros and cons to the trad wife lifestyle. Obviously we are a bit biased on the pro side of the aisle. We truly believe having a parent at home full time is good for the family. There are certainly sacrifices made to make it a reality but they are so worth it for the health of the family.
