Customer Reviews

baby Blues Indeed!

This book is like all the rest: hilarious and strange i've read them over and over again and they never get boring! :)

I have three kids, three years and under...

And this books made me LAUGH. How WONDERFUL to know I'm not alone in the moments that I want to cry, this "full-time" mothering stuff is so hard, but instead I choose to laugh, not in a small part due to Baby Blues. I don't know if their books mirror my life, or my life mirrors their comedic endeavors, but I'm not complaining. If you're a parent, you will like this book. It'll either bring back memories, or show you what's to come, depending on the age(s) of your bundle(s) of joy. ENJOY!
