A collection of funny articles published in the newspaper about motherhood. There were some really funny articles that I actually laughed out loud at. Easy read especially since it is separated into short articles.

Unputdownable for me. Real life recounts about parenting children. Also laughing at things women do. Sandi uses language well. Many laughs.
