It's for every mom who's ured to be perfect yet lost under the laundry, wondering if she's a bad mom. It's for every mom to wants to enjoy-not endure-motherhood while still giving her kids what they truly need to succeed.

Summary: Made me laugh out loud!
Rating: 5

I was picking up a book to help me understand my son and his emotions better when I saw this book. I flipped through a few pages and laughed out loud at each page I read. How refreshing!! I told myself I would look at a few more pages and if I laughed more I would get it. After five minutes I couldn't put it down and I was drawing stares from others b/c I was laughing. Instead of a book telling me what I need to do better, this one told me "we all understand and we've been there". It helped me see things in a less tense way and laugh at myself. I have four little ones under 6 yrs, including a newborn, and I went home and read a book for me that made me feel better about ME. What a refreshing concept!
