Naptime is the New Happy Hour Book

I couldn't resist this book when I saw it on the shelf and I was right.  Naptime Is the New Happy Hour: And Other Ways Toddlers Turn Your Life Upside Down by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor was a laugh a minute from the first page.  I had to read part of it out loud to my husband.  I would tell any mom to read this one and get a few great laughs (but a big warning to not read this if pregnant or do not yet have children).  It went through chapter by chapter of all of the things that happen to moms.  Ever been in a mom's group where another mom says that her kid doesn't watch TV and only eats nutritious food? This book gives you helpful hints for not feeling bad about putting your kid in front of the TV to make dinner and to get a break.  She walks you through her first Pampered Chef party which she walked away with a can opener that doesn't leave a sharp edge and a bad feeling about her kitchen and culinary skills.  The author's story of her daughter's first hair cut is one to read!  The author tells tons of fun stories that we all know to be true from nursery schools, leaving work to be a SAHM, playgroup, finding the right mom and kid friend combo, and more!  I certainly don't have the affinity for wine that the author does but I certainly understand that inclination!!  It is a super funny book that kept me laughing right to the end.  I can't wait to find her other book on the shelf at the library :)  I hope that you enjoy the book and get a few laughs if the day isn't going your way.
