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!

Awh what a great couple! I will have to check her restaurant out!!!
this is a great write up! Beautiful couple, its good to see people who are successful away from "the spotlight"
why would you pick such a non traditional couple as a contrast to RHOA. This man has SIX children from another relationship. SIX. Not 2, or 3, SIX. He isn't far off from Kandi's man on RHOA. If she owns the restaurant what does her husband do? Sounds like another Kandi situation!
@Anonymous Thanks for your comment. I picked this Housewife because her story is dynamic- she's balancing a relationship as the step mom to 6 and a mom to her 2 children they have together, all while being a business woman and a wife. Not many women could or would want to walk in her shoes, but she's doing it and she's happy and that's ultimately what matters. Unlike some of the women on RHOA she is really a wife, she is successful and she loves her children & step children. In regard to her husband, I interviewed her not him.
It's nice to here we can hold it down. I love your writing. Keep it coming.
6 kids? Come on. Keep it in your pants!
He is a great businessman himself. Your so Negative. If she married him, with the kids, he has his life togather. Look at the positive. He has all the kids with him!!!!
Stop worrying about them!! You take care of yours!!
He does NOT have all of his children. Also, he is very much behind on his child support payments for two of cases involving two of the four mothers.
LMAO!! well we know who 6:24pm is!!!!
