REAL Housewives In Atlanta pt 2.


The Reed Family

Last week I got a little flack from a reader in regard to the family I featured on my post “They Really Do Exist…Housewives in Atlanta,” which is apart of a series that I am putting together to feature housewives in Atlanta.  I think it’s a great idea to profile housewives who are “Not So Average” to see how they make it work, other than to speculate on what we think is going on, as the tabloids often do.

This week I got a chance to catch up with a self made media mogul in the making, Tammie Reed. Most people know her as Talking With Tami, but I know her as the lady who juggles a full schedule being a producer of her own TV show, blogger, tweeter, a mom to 2 pre-teens and a wife to a husband who is supportive of her very busy schedule.

How long have you been married?
Tammie: Married 10yrs

Do you have any Children?
Tammie: Yes, two Tyra 12 Terrell 9

What is your profession or what type of business do you run?
Tammie: I'm a Talk show host

How do you balance work/parent/spouse relationships and time?
Tammie: It’s all about communication and prayer. We pray over everything. My husband and I tag team a lot, it’s a collective effort.

What can you do to be a better housewife?
Tammie: I can cook and clean a bit more, I’m always traveling or on red carpet, but we all chip in. Everything else is pretty good I guess lol.

What word of advice can you share with other married or engaged couples? Tammie: Talk to each other; have date a nights, that’s very important. Sometimes when people get married they forget to keep dating.

Who is your favorite Housewife from the Bravo Housewives Series & Why?
Tammie: My favorite housewife is Lisa Wu Hartwell. She is also a good friend of mine maybe that’s why. I can relate with how she tries to handle home life and the entertainment business.

They Really Exist... Housewives In Atlanta

Although I love the drama that is “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” they are giving a new meaning to Atlanta wives, so I wanted to remind everyone they really do have drama free and successful housewives in Atlanta.

                                  Natalie & Derrick Alexander

Meet Natalie Michon Alexander, she is a restaurateur of a St. Louis style Smoked Meats & Seafood Restaurant in Atlanta, Michons. Guess what? She’s a housewife. Natalie has been married to her husband Derrick for 1 & ½ years now and together they have 2 children Carrington Alexander (1 yr Old) & Carson Alexander (3 mos) and she has 6 Step children: Christen (19), Derrick Jr. (16), Tori & Dedrick (14), Devin (12), & Kennedy (6).

Recently I caught up with Natalie to ask her a few questions about life as a married and busy woman and what she thinks about the ladies on RHOA. Here is what she had to say:

NUAL: How do you balance work/parent/spouse relationships and time?
Natalie: Very Delicately! I Am Specific With Work Time And Family Time. I Try Not To Intermingle Them. I Get Up Early While The Kids Are Sleep And Complete Any Work Task That I Am Able To Do At Home -Such As Pay Bills, Make Phone Calls And Email, Etc... I Am Usually Home At A Decent Time To Cook. I Take An Hour Out To Myself In The Evenings For A Little R And R Or Read A Book. After Playing With The Kids For A Little While I Spend Time With My Husband... We May Sit In The Theater And Watch A Movie.

NUAL: What can you do to be a better housewife?
Natalie: There Is Always Something I Could Do Better... Let Me Pick One! I Would Say Be Able To Do The Laundry Myself... I Am Always Missing Clothes! (Teenagers!)

NUAL: What word of advice can you share with other married or engaged couples?
Natalie: Do Not Fight Over Money... Either You Have It Or You Don't

NUAL: Who is your favorite Housewife from the Bravo Housewives Series & Why?
Natalie: I Am A Cross Between Ne Ne And Lisa. Ne Ne's Is Always Consistent. Lisa Is Like Me... Not Into Too Much Drama And Always Smiling. But She Will Get Down To Business When Necessary!
