Read an Excerpt

Chapter 5: Cooking for Your Boyfriend
Not long after our return from Philadelphia, I noticed that our car was seriously gross. I've personally always been offended by cars that smell of ancient spilled Yahoo and soiled diapers.



Book Description

Hailed by many as Erma Bombeck's heir apparent, Jennifer Moses — journalist, essayist, prizewinning short story writer, and mother of three — brilliantly transforms the mundane into the hilarious in her no-holds-barred record of a year in the life — and the kitchen — of a modern-day mom.

Writing about the year in which her twins were born, her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and her husband decided to change careers, Moses regales readers with funny anecdotes and gut-wrenchingly true pictures of the chaos and joys of family life. Capturing the essence of motherhood today in all of its complexities and contradictions, this true-to-life story (that reads like a novel) dares to say out loud what moms secretly think.
