My most recent book, You Cannot Be Serious, was inspired by my brilliant friend, Heather. We were driving to Starbucks one day, and all 5 of my kids were in the backseat. It was all manner of chaos. Heather calmly asked me, "How are you not losing your sh*t right about now?" to which I answered, "The rules."
She said, "Well, your next book needs to be about 'The Rules.' If they work for you, they'll work for other moms!"
At the time, I thought the idea was crazy, but the opportunity to write about all the craziness that goes on and how I handle it (which isn't particularly graceful some days) sounded surprisingly fun!
As a began to combine blog posts, new ideas flowed and the rest, as they say...
