Customer Reviews

This Book Is My Life In Print!

This book is hilarious! Over the years all of my mom friends and I have swapped stories about parenthood. Being a parent is full of sometimes funny, sometimes embarrassing, sometimes frustrating but always memorable moments that fly by all too quickly. Reading this book brought back a lot of memories about my own children and those of my friends. I bought it for a neighbor that just had a baby in the hopes that she will read it and realize that someday she will look back at all of the crazy things that are going to happen and laugh. I hope there will be a second book!

Mother of the Year

What a charming book! It's funny that when you look back on your life, the little, uncomfortable moments are the ones you tenderly remember and are so funny in retrospect. I thought this book did a great job of capturing those moments from a mother's perspective. This book makes a great gift for all the "moms" in your life!

If Carrie and Miranda were mommies...

You know how Sex and the City used to make you gasp and laugh, because they said those things out loud that you never thought anyone dared talk about? Well, this book is like eavesdropping on the Sex and the City girls after they had a few kids and moved to the suburbs! Not that it's about sex (though some of it is about how kids misinterpret and generally interfere with their parents' mostly nonexistent sex lives). It's just brutally honest about the most embarrassing parenting moments, that are so awful you just have to laugh. If you can laugh at these moments, then you can laugh at yourself. And a sense of humor is certainly a most valuable asset for us moms!

If the cover had a martini and not a coffee that could be me!!!

I am a momma of two and Auntie of 8 and I loved this book! It does NOT get more real than this and makes me feel a THOUSAND times better about some of my own ridiculous acts as a mom! I love books that make me laugh out loud and this was one of them!! The pictures were super cute too...the front says it all...moms can juggle any and all!! I just got one for my mom as mom's day is right around the corner

Laughter is the key to motherhood!

I believe that laughter is the key to being a great mother. Laughing at the situations we mothers find ourselves in makes being a mom even more fun. This book has fun personal stories from ordinary moms with the hilarious twists we all face. Great for any mom who strives for perfection but comes up short and can laugh about it!
