This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
In this humorous memoir you’ll discover several mind-saving rules, which include:
- Don’t throw your pregnancy test away before the full three minutes is up.
- Unless there is a rush on the grocery store pending a zombie-virus outbreak, never take your kids shopping.
- If your toddler is going to chew on a Band-Aid, hope it’s one found inside the community swimming pools chlorinated pool and not one found in their locker room.
- Never throw up in a cookie sheet.
- Things can always get worse. You could discover your child playing with a used tampon applicator. It’s not a whistle, sweetie.
- And most importantly, the moment one of your children is seriously ill, forget about everything else. You have the greatest honor in the world – being a Mom.

So much fun! I love this book! I laughed hard enough that it should count for my workout today! It's a true and positive look at being a mom- the good, the bad, and the ugly. And of course, the fantastic. The stories are hilarious and so true to life. As a mom myself, this book is really easy for me to relate to. For those who aren't, this is an entertaining look into what being a parent is all about. Of the parenting-type books I've read, this is the only one that hasn't left me feeling overwhelmed and inadequate. Instead, I feel like there's someone out there who understands the craziness and wouldn't judge me for it. A definite must read for anyone who could use a laugh! (isn't that pretty much every one?)
