Miranda Lambert Good Housekeeping Cover: Songstress Talks Family, Fame and Turkey

Good Housekeeping

Miranda Lambert exudes domestic bliss on the November issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. In the accompanying article, the songstress talks about her first year-and-a-half of marriage to Blake Shelton, how success plays a part in their relationship and their holiday plans. The "Over You" singer also gets candid on learning to live with the inevitable criticism that comes with fame.

"People always look for a reason to hammer you for something, whether it's your weight or your marriage," she tells the mag. "Blake and I have reached that point, and I hate that, but we need to be thankful to be out there living our dream, playing music for a living. If I complain about being apart, I think about military families and realize I have an amazing life. I'm so grateful for the people in my life: my family, my husband, my team around me, and my friends. The rest is icing on the cake."

Speaking of being apart, since their wedding in May 2011, the pair have only spent about five months together. That added to the struggles of their first year of marriage, as did the death of Blake's father, Dick, in January, followed quickly by the death of Miranda's childhood friend, Mark Adams, and her dog, Dixie.

"Blake was in Los Angeles almost all the time," says the Texas native. "Everything kept piling up. We didn't even have all our clothes at the same house. After our anniversary came, it was like, 'All right, now we can start married life.'"

One of the best parts of that life comes during the holidays. Thanksgiving has traditionally been held at Blake's farm in Tishomingo, Okla., but this year, his wife is bringing the celebration to him.

"Blake will be in L.A. working for 'The Voice,'" she explains. "So I'll be buying pumpkins and hay bales somewhere in that crazy city and putting them on the porch."

After that's done, the singer-songwriter splits up kitchen duties for Thanksgiving with her parents and in-laws. "We're real traditional," Miranda reports. "Football, turkey, and stuffing. Blake's mom makes ham and the best baked beans ever. My dad's been deep-frying the turkey, which is sometimes wild turkey, because we hunt. I do the green bean casserole, with cream of mushroom soup and fried onions on the top, and a sweet potato casserole."

she is gorgeous and they make a great looking couple, as far as her weight its up and down, whos isnt, and those that judge someone by their weight, evidently dont like their own or are insecure about themselves to knock someone else, so jerry springer to knock someone about weight, rather see somoene with meat on them than someone skin and bones, and to those that preach about big butts etc, you are the people that encourage anorexia by your ridiculous comments

No one in this twosome committed adultery. When they sang together, Blake knew he felt something for Miranda and the other way around. Blakes marriage to his first wife was coming to an end. They didn't date nor anything else until after he was divorced. Miranda didn't have a hand in his divorce neither.
I am glad they seem to have found happiness with one another. And I hope they last until death do they part. They seem to know how to lean on each other. That and trust/honesty is important.

thou shalt not commit adultry. the one commandment i stand strong on. i don't care that much for them as people for that reason alone. BUT i also have no reason to hate them either. it's now all water under the bridge. marrage is hard enough when you are together all the time, must be even harder when you are apart for such long periods of time. at least they can afford to hop on a jet for quick visits. Blake. you have several songs that i really love but miranda most of yours, i just can't relate to.but you do have talent and i'd love some of that sweet potato cassarole.

Miranda Lambert is a beautiful young woman. May they have a long and happy life together. To Manchesterlad - look at some of your English women then you will see unattractive.

I love Blake and Miranda. I don't think Blake ever cheated on his wife with Miranda. I think his marriage wasnt doing well and then he met Miranda and had feelings for her but didn't act upon them until he was divorced. They are both sweet, down to earth people.

not a big fan of hers. her songs are always about torching or shooting someone.
Not the kind of music I enjoy listening to. Plus, physically she's not much. there's a difference between a nice butt and a BIG butt. And she's got a BIGGGGGG butt.
And her hubby just needs to go have a few beers with Jason Aldean and this marriage is over too...

You can't take someone away from their spouse. If the guy's marriage was so solid, he would not have left his wife for her so obviously it wasn't all that great. People always blame the woman for dating a married man but hey, what about him? If his marriage was happy, he would not have left.
