Hilarious book for the mom struggling to do it all November 5, 2008
This book is very funny take on how to cope with trying to be a great mom, wife and still hold a full time job. It is a quick read and a great escape from the stress of trying to do it all! This is a great book and one that I am giving all my friends for Christmas!
Totally TRUE--and laugh-out-loud funny November 4, 2008
Don't let the "White Trash" bit fool you... This isn't really for trailer park moms--this book is for EVERY mom who (obviously) loves her kid/s but sometimes needs to take a shortcut to get through the mommy madness. Hello? That's all of us!!! There are so many great tips in this book that will make your life easier and happier that you won't even want to lend it out--you'll have to buy your friends their own copy. The chapter on which school volunteer activities to pick and why, alone, should make this book required reading for all parents (at least, the ones with a sense of humor). I love this author and can't wait for her next book! Still laughing...
never a dull page November 4, 2008
Love, Love it! Never a dull moment with this book. This is one crazy mom and she thinks of it all! Highly recommend to any white trash mom or white trash want a be! Fun and certainly entertaining!
Love this book- Love the author! November 3, 2008
What a totally fun, and funny book! Bought it for several of my friends and they have all loved it as much as I did! Loads of laughs, great advice, and hilarious anecdotes!
Perfectly Imperfect September 22, 2008
OK -- get past the title and BUY THIS BOOK! It reminds us all the most important thing is to accept, embrace, and celebrate our imperfect parenting skills. We all know our kids best and God in his infinite wisdom and perfect sense of humor gave them to each of us to raise - to the best of our abilities. This book drives home the message again and again that our actions speak louder then words. Who wants little Susie to think that time spent with a trainer perfecting our backhand or at the mall searching for the latest designer handbag is more important then time spent volunteering and taking care of our families - while having fun and staying sane? Well done, ladies, well done!
