Arlene has written a hilarious book about "being Mommy" these days, my favorite is her "lists". I understand everything she says, and enjoyed how she expresses aspects of modern motherhood in a light-hearted, entertaining voice. It was just right for my end of the day wind-down. Did I mention I loved the lists?
A must for every mom who needs a laugh!

LOVED this book! Saw the author on TV & knew I had to read her book! Bought it to read and give as gifts to my best mom friends. You can read this book in one sitting and you're guarenteed to laugh out loud the whole time!! (My husband thought I was insane, I was laughing so loud!) Then you keep it around to go back to whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. Highly recommend this one for every mom who has a life filled with peanut butter, playdates, or prozac!

Arlene Schusteff writes an amazingly funny, true life tale of raising kids today. I laughed out loud as I turned each page!! If you believe that its okay to laugh about being a parent- you have to pick this book up!! I loved this book and can't wait til she writes another.
I Laughed Out Loud

This is a great, great book. I ordered two copies and have been anxiously awaiting their arrival. I was delighted when they finally did and immediately devoured one. Being an overscheduled single parent, I read it while I was at the health club on the bicycle (what? exercise standing up?) and was literally overcome with laughter. So many things ring true and the others, if they haven't happened yet, I am expecting to at any minute. I loved the warmth and affection that shine through the words as well as the very appropriate humor. The subject matter will be familiar to anyone with children and many times the reader will realize that indeed misery loves company and that this book is great company. The author is articulate, witty, irreverant, insightful, and a very obviously devoted parent. She's seems like someone you'd want to be friends with. This should be required reading for everyone with children or those who are about to have them. I am doing my part -- my two copies are making the circle round the neighborhood. I hope I'll get at least one of then back eventually!
I want to have coffee with the author

This book is my life! I kept nodding my head in recognition, and empathy, over the stories told in this book. And I admit to honestly laughing out loud over several of these anecdotes. I'm so happy to have found an author who speaks not only to me, but to my generation of women.
