Andrienne rated it:

I enjoyed reading this book. I particularly liked the story about a little kid who had a propensity to hurt puppies (because the reaction of the mom is so classic!) with the mom constantly asking this little toddler what he felt like doing; trying to find a reason for his violent tendencies. This book was like a quick coffee chat on what's out there after all the cooing and cuddling are done and over with. Raising a child isn't a death sentence...that much I figured out, and getting into the min More...

I got hold of this book because I am a fan of Alice Bradley's "Finslippy" book, and I guess I was looking for more of the hilarious, self effacing work of Alice and hopefully her friends.

Some of the other writings in this compilation made me laugh, a few were very poignant and others woke that sense of recognition in me as I read of their everyday grappling with how to be a good parent to their children.

So, while I could have done with more hilarity, I did enjoy More...

I read this book in those early weeks after bringing my second child home from the hospital. You know, those weeks. The ones where you are drowning in diapers and dirty onesies and don't believe you will ever sleep more than 2 hours in a stretch again. And if you choose to read anything during those weeks, this is the book to read. Full of funny, humorous stories about debacles and successes in parenting, it will make you laugh, probably make you cry, and definitely make you excited about the More...

(Non-Fiction, Motherhood) This book is a collection of blog snippets from mommybloggers. The snippets cover a range of motherhood topics like sleep, diapers, childless friends, never having enough time, etc...I enjoyed the collection and laughed at loud at some and resonated with others. All in all, these mommies inspire me to laugh, take care of myself, and go with the flow of the craziness that is parenthood.

Very cute book, especially for mom's of young children but good for any mother. Has some language but it is a book of blogs from the internet so you get lots of different people. Helps new mom's feel like they aren't alone. Very good read.

I liked some entries better than others of course, but it's fun to hear others stories from the trenches. Some made me laugh, some made me tear up, and I skipped a bunch too. Kind of nice to be able to read in small snippets.

Despite the fact that I don't have any kids, I really enjoyed reading this book of blogs by mommies & one daddy. I even laughed out loud at a few parts. Since it's composed of blogs, it would be easy reading even for a busy parent.

A fun and funny read. This one kept me laughing most of the way through. I would have loved if it were a bit longer. I’m looking forward to checking out the contributor’s blogs for more!

I would never have read these whiny, angry blogs, but I hoped this book would be better. No effing way. More proof that blogs are for people who aren't great writers.

A collection of short essays about motherhood. Some are funnier than others, but none are total losers.

Bree rated it:

This was a really quick book to read due to the fact that it was a book of blogs. It opened my eyes to some really funny relatable women to read online. The reason for 3 stars is because there were some that I didn't care for. This was a collection so it didn't always make me laugh or have the type of story that I could relate to. Many will be able to find a different reason to like/hate this book because of the different authors. I look forward to reading the new blogs I found from this bo More...

It wasn't the laugh I wanted it to be, some of the stories rang true (others, not so much).

It's no secret that I love blogs. This is just a complilation of some of the best ones. It's perfect because I don't have to search for them or read them from my computer screen.

I KNOW this book will be incredible. How do I know, you ask?

Well, firstly, my friend Rita was the editor. How cool is that? My brush with greatness...and secondly, these are fabulous bloggers from all over the momosphere (or viceversa). Definitely a heart-breaking thrill-ride, spit-up included.

Not just for moms, either. Topics are wide-ranging and well-written, sometimes laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Cute. Entertaining. Sometimes tear-inducing, sometimes guffaw-inducing. It's basically a compilation of entries from some uber-popular mommyblogs, so really, if you're already reading some good mommyblogs, you're already reading a lot of this stuff. What I want to know is how these women get their blogs noticed and create such huge followings.

I'm a follower of many of the contributors, so upon having my little one I was excited to pick this up. Though I'd read some of the content before, it introduced me to posts I'd missed, and other amazing bloggers. Great to have around when you're short on time-the format works great for new moms.

This book was a wonderful read.

This book is for those times when you think you suck as a parent. Just pick it up, read one of the entries, and you'll feel better. Many of the blogs in this book are daily stops for me online.

Not sure if I will be able to be objective because I love so many of the writers but I'm pretty sure I'm more in love with many now that I've read their chapters.

HYSTERICAL. A must-read for expecting moms out there (a category I still cannot believe I find myself in, I must add).

Much more up my alley than the cupcake-covered mommy book I read recently. Funny folks just telling it like it is.
