Considering my complaining has reduced quite a bit over the last several years, due to this blog and many of you, I'm proud to say I've really got a handle on this chef wife thing. And because of that, I'm in the best place to have another baby. I'm due in July, and very excited to be expanding my family.
Thank you all for the support over the years, because I would not have been able to handle the work that comes from children without being able to say "this chef wife thing, yeah, I got that. "
Food is Love,
Hilary
This blog is a place for wives, girlfriends, significant others, and anyone else stuck to a chef to come together and chirp to each other about how to deal with the nonsense that goes along with being the wife of a chef. I was struggling to live with a ghost of a husband who I never saw until I met two other chef wives that saved me. It was then that I realized there must be more who need love and support too, right?

I stumbled across your blog a little over a year ago when I found myself terribly frustrated and upset over being a Chef's wife without anyone to talk to who really "got it." While I've never commented before, it has been nice to know that I'm not alone! (Thanks!) Obviously living in the NYC metro area I knew I wasn't alone, but not everyone de-romanticizes the concept of Chef's wife for people to commiserate with :)
Congratulations on your exciting news! I'm looking forward to reading how you handle TWO little ones, working outside the home, with a partner who works long ridiculous hours, weekends and holidays. Our daughter will be two in April and we have been on the fence about having another, in large part due to sheer logistics! We do have a lot of help from family, but I only like to rely on them to a point.
Have you already made some decisions on how YOU'RE going to handle/juggle everything? Would love some logistical advice!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS BLOG!!! My boyfriend is on the second semester of his career as a chef in the university and just started working in a restaurant. Sometimes it is REALLY HARD for me to understand him (being sincere, even to carry on with his schedules and distance is so hard :( ) But I've been reading some of your articles and they are really helpful! I'm officially a fan of your site!!
Thanks! :)
