Comedian Anita Renfroe was already well loved by women's groups across the U.S. before YouTube delivered her infectious stand-up hilatiry to the rest of us. In her most famous videotaped bit, she sings everything a mom typically says to her kids during a single day to the tune of "The William Tell Overture" (which takes just two minutes amd 55 seconds).

I have been reading a bunch of doomsday stuff (we are all going to starve to death while we die from all the chemicals in the food we can't get and meanwhile we will freeze to death because there is no more oil) recently and so I am going to give myself a break. I saw this on the library's New Book shelf and picked it up.
On the surface, you would think this book and I have nothing in common. The author is a Texan religious perimenopausal mother of three married to a minister, and I...more

I picked this book up at the library because I thought it was going to be a quick, fun read about pregnancy & motherhood. Sadly, this wasn't the case (only one or 2 of Renfroe's "bits" involved these topics), and in general I didn't think any of her pontifications on life's little oddities were particularly funny.

This book is a little like Bombeck for 2010. I think she writes better about being a woman than she does about being a mom, if that makes sense. Her chapter about hair and about getting just one good picture of yourself in your life are hilarious!
I love Anita Renfro. This book was exactly what I needed when I needed it. And I love that she narrated it. She rocks. :-)
I haven't finished it yet, but golly is this a great book for any mom out there.
So funny! A very light read, but she touches on some great topics.
This is a fun book, will make you giggle out loud!
loved it, great to listen to her reading it
A fun read from the "William Tell Overture" mom.
Wanted belly-laughs, but instead I got knowing smiles and few bits of snorting laughter.
It was just OK for me. Probably if I had kids I would have liked it more. It is an easy humorous read. Now that I'm done with it, anyone who wants it, just let me know.
I was not familiar with this lady before reading this book. She had me laughing out loud in places.
She is reminiscent of Irma Bombeck.

This lady is hilarious! I'm pretty sure she and I could be best friends if we lived closer to one another. (I stole her material about Vivien Vance being contractually required to stay plump so Lucy would look more glamorous.)
I laughed out loud a good amount with this one. There were a few slow chapters, but overall, I really like her humor. Lots of fun!
This book was amazing I loved it from beginning to end. I would recommend it to every woman/ mom. She was hilarious!
Wasn't as funny as I thought it would be.

It's been a wild decade going from "stay-at-home-mom" to "YouTube comedic Phe-mom-enon" but Anita Renfroe doesn't mind. With her unique brand of estrogen flavored musical comedy and blend of sass, edge and slightly offbeat takes on All Things Female, audiences at her comedy concert tours, viewers of Good Morning America appearances and the YouTube masses who enjoyed her William...more

“What's amazing to me now is that I actually recall fixating on the fact that my thighs a-l-m-o-s-t touched at the top....If I could go back in time and slap my eighteen-year-old self, I would. I would tell her to snap out of it, because that's the best you thighs will ever be. You should take pictures of your thighs right now so you can remember how amazing they were!”
