Praise
“Narrated in a style akin to Erma Bombeck: earthy, matter-of-fact, and simply hilarious, as well as thought-provoking. Mothers seeking a bit of humor about their child-rearing experiences will find it in droves . . . It’s especially important because without humor, surviving this stage of family life becomes questionable.”—Midwest Book Review
“Parenting is like taking a permanent vacation into the wild kingdom complete with biting and gnashing of teeth . . . I felt seen in reading Dallas’s excitement and trepidation with her quickly growing family. Postpartum depression hits moms hard, and Dallas’s comedic take on all the highs and lows of motherhood was hilarious and relatable. If you love being a mother but struggle with motherhood, this book is for you!”—Jackie Miller, Snarky Mother Nutrition
“Reading this book is like having a cup of coffee with a friend—a good, brutally honest one. God must be laughing because these stories made it to print. This book will remind you that despite all your chaos, you are not alone.”—Kerri Pomarolli, comedian and author of Confessions of the Proverbs 32 Woman
