"Living life queen size." This saying may be apt for all those hardworking homemakers. Inside the world of a housewife, there is both order and chaos, but things are almost always how she wants them to be. Even though there isn't any one-size-fits-all format for housewives, they all have a handful of things in common like gossip, wine, a chance encounter with a long-lost love and everything in between.

Notably though, it's impressive to see how far housewives have come in counteracting a society that's morbidly obsessed with associating them only with household works, by finding interest in vlogging, influencing and everything that brings out a person's creative side to the fore.

National Housewife Day, which is observed on Nov. 3, celebrates every homemaker out there who dons multiple hats, including that of a mother, aspiring blogger, writer, wife and most importantly, a nurturer.

And just in case you want to give them a pat on the shoulder for harnessing their diverse superpowers, here are some quotes that will do the honors. (Courtesy: Brainyquote)
