Hilarious Tales From The 'Hood

Melissa Jarvis appears to have turned the vital job of a stay-at-home mom into an art form. Of course, much of that art came when one of her children practiced spelling the word 'butt' on the living room wall the day before a planned party. This story, plus tales of the wonder of childhood smells, and the ways children and pets are similar are all included in this hilarious and heart warming book. Every mother can learn a lesson from looking at their family life from Ms. Jarvis' perspective. And someday one of these moms will find that she too has raised a seven year old police detective who needs a timeout. Buy this book. It makes growing up a lot easier.
