Summary: If you need to smile...
Review: If you are a mother, have a mother or know someone who is a mother, there are elements in this book that you will appreciate. You will appreciate it more if you are a mother. This book talks seriously about the responsibility and the demands of mothers and motherhood but also puts a humorous face on the day to day ins and outs of actually taking care of the business of mothering. This book is an intelligent read, but also very entertaining, and if you are a frustrated mother you will find solace here. I take this book along with me in the car to read while I wait at school, in lines, etc... I have read it twice and I still love it. Word of warning, if you are a democrat, you will not love the political views expressed, but you can still appreciate the rest.

Summary: I LOVED this book!
Review: In a culture that de-values families and puts a small price on motherhood, mothers need a champion to re-affirm the priceless nature of their work. Ms. Down does that beautifully, humorously, upliftingly.

I especially enjoyed her comical and realistic perceptions on raising boys. How reassuring that my three are just normal!

If you are having "one of those days", this can lighten your mood and make you glad, once again, to be a mother.
