Rounding out our holiday book series,
I have a book that will take you into the new year with humor!
Synopsis:
Step right in to this beautifully illustrated book with short stories about marriage, household pests, children, holidays, teenage driving, bedtime antics and many other matters of domesticity. Each story has a subtle message and is peppered with wit and plenty of laughter.
Mary and her hubby, old Hunk raised five kids, assorted grandkids, three dogs, two cats, various reptiles, rodents galore, a boatload of fish, and a Mexican tarantula named Mad Max. It was crazy. But their drug of choice has always been laughter. Enjoy the stories taken from their experiences.
Sneak Peek: "Why oh why can't mamas live their kids' lives for them? It would solve so many problems before they even started. And it would save so many kids from making mistakes. Big, hairy, dumb-dumb mistakes. Dear God, life would be so simple if only we had a Mama On Board, magical, instantaneous, high-powered panic App - otherwise known as the MOB App. Think about it . . ."
Review:
This was a funny look at parenting- both the normal pitfalls (messy rooms-sometimes you have to pick your battles) to the insane (invasion of ants). You'll find yourself laughing out loud as you read it, and the chapters make for perfect late night reading, to relieve the stress of your hectic day, when you realize other parents have been there before you and lived to write their stories about the dramas! It would be a funny book to give as a baby shower gift, a hostess gift, or a Christmas present for the new parents, to warn them about what will be coming!
