Moms: More precious than rubes
Final Summary
Surveys
On one of my surveys I asked the question below to the mothers and this is some of the advice they gave me.
If you could go back in time to before you were a mother, what advice would you give yourself about being a mom (or life in general)?
- I would tell myself to try not be in such a hurry all of the time. I remember rushing my kids around all the time in order to meet my obligations. We would have stopped and laughed more.
- Enjoy EVERY moment. The times you cried will be as important as the times you laughed. Protect their innocence as long as you can.
- Adapt! Adapt! Adapt!
- Take care of yourself too. For me since I'm been single most of my life: try harder to find a husband.

Magazines
During the Great Depression, the ordinary house wife could afford to live to the extent of extravagance displayed in this magazine. Vogue, today, is know primarily as a high end women's fashion magazine, but in the 1930's vogue included homemaking tips, person of interest articles, and male fashion tips. The focus of this magazine in the 1903's was to give tips to women on fashion, homemaking, and their personal life as if there was always room for enhancement and improvement.
