I listened to this, not read it.

After getting over the 'lds culture' annoyance, I really liked the good things Jaynes had to offer in this lighthearted book. My favorites were the canning chapters and the 'back to work' chapter.

I've found myself relating to her witty accounts throughout my week, so the book must have grown on me. Good for her for writing and being published. I liked her sarcasm and that she didn't try to be artificially spiritual. Sometimes I was annoyed with her trying to wax poetic with her descriptions, but this didn't happen often (my being annoyed).

I'd have to say the same thing about this book as I did the Heaven Bound one. She points out the importance of setting priorities: family first, Church and other matters second. Don't worry about others or what they think. Friends come and go, but family is forever, build the strongest bonds with them. Who cares what others think of you, they don't matter anyway. Don't worry, it is a waste of time, energy, and brain matter. our brains and time can be put to better use than worry. Those who are really true friends will uplift, support, and realize that you have a busy life that often times does not include them. A humorous, fun filled book with great advice along the read.

This has been my bath reading for the past few weeks and has really brought things into perspective for me about motherhood/womenhood/etc. She is an honest and hilarious author with real life experience that we can all relate to. Hard to find. I am not one to read "church books" but I think we could all learn something from her!

Though I enjoyed this book, I did like "Heaven Bound" better. I like the author's take on setting really meaningful goals {play with the kids more, not worry about what people think of me} and her ideas for "coping" while raising children {take time to hear them - what you're doing can wait}. Her style is, of course, lighthearted and easy going and this book is fun.

This book was pretty good, there were a few chapters I didn't love but for the most part it was a funny and uplifting book that reminds readers to just to do the best you can and let go of all of your imperfections. I liked the book Wake Me For The Resurrection a little better but this is worth a read for all LDS women.

I loved this book! I will read it again. Her humor is just delightful and she says the true things that the rest of us are too afraid to say. She just says it like it is. This book was refreshing and light. I loved it.

I read this for my ward book-club...actually I read the first part and listened to the rest on cd in my car. I enjoyed listening to it much more than reading it. Fun if you have time to kill--I respect the author for sharing her memoirs and personal thoughts.

This was a delightful book, full of encouragement. Lynn C. Jaynes has a wonderful, witty writing style that moves the book along quickly. My daughter loaned this to me after reading it, and I'm glad she did!

Witty, witty, witty.... have laughed myself senseless with this humor for it truly is full of wit and wisdom. Some of it I've actually thought, without stating aloud!

I liked this book. It had some funny parts. I agreed with some things she said. "You can't save seats." "Yes you can sir!" That was funny! It was a good read and funny, especially on audio.

Mostly about Motherhood and raising kids. Pretty funny.

It was ok! Not as funny as I thought it would be but had some good true stories.
