cute

This is a cute book; short little subjects, so takes no real time to read as moms don't have time to sit around with their "bon-bons" any more!!!

Good stuff!

Wife and I got this as a gift for a friend / expecting mother, but admittedly as new parents ourselves, we flipped through it first too. Some of the quips were almost sad and scary, but overall, we laughed our heads off. This was confirmed by the mom-to-be we gave it to. This will go on our list of gifts for expecting-and-new moms. It's good as a source of "relaxation" for anyone unsure of what they've just gotten themselves into and some of the feelings they might be having. Moreso, it's just downright funny.

Short, sweet and sassy!

What a fun, light, uplifting read - great Mother's Day gift! Every woman can hear herself in the voices of these women. It reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously and enjoy life in the moment. Take it to your next car pool line, doctor visit, or bathroom trip!

What a GREAT Mother's Day gift!

I have to say that "Dirty Little Secrets" is the perfect Mother's Day gift for all your friends and sisters and mothers!! I know my sister, who JUST became a mother in January, will love the stories. I have a feeling she is thinking the same thing but just won't admit it! I'm very excited to see the joy on ALL their faces when they open their presents. I really think it's a fun and fabulous book! Enjoy~ Alisa San Francisco

Heart-warming and fun!

This is a fun book to pass along to all your mom friends! It has many quotes that will have you laughing at the time and that you will continue to think about later. I find myself chuckling randomly during the day when I think of them. It really shows that we are all in this together. The authors have done another good job of making us feel less alone and not judged. It is short and simple, yet makes a big impact. You can read it over and over -- whenever you just want a minute to laugh, or to feel good about yourself and about moms everywhere!
