good book
This book is good for a little laugh and also reflects upon God at the same time. A great book when you just get a minuite for peice & quiet. Good advise for stressed out moms with little ones.
Perk Up Your Day!
I got this book in a gift pack from MOPS last year (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers - a great mommy network, by the way!). I was really disappointed when I finished the book because it touched me each day where I needed it. It helped me lighten up and reminded me my unusual experiences are actually normal. Lorilee's style is very casual and hilarious. Her work is so approachable that you feel as though one of your friends is sitting right there sharing each story with you personally. Her style, personality, and Christian perspective remind you that God really isn't so uptight and He loves to laugh and relax as well.
SO I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE LIFE HAPPENS TO
THIS IS A WONDERFUL, EASY, LIGHT HEARTED, AND GUILTFREE BOOK. EVERY MOM REALLY NEED TO TAKE THE TIME TO GET THIS ONE....IT IS PERFECT, VERY SHORT STORIES! THANK YOU MRS CRAKER FOR YOUR HONESTY IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE!
Moms don't need another parenting book - they NEED this!
Every mom with little ones can benefit from and appreciate the amusing, thoughtful and profound "mini-retreats" from Lorilee Craker. She draws from her experience as a busy mom, understanding that women don't have time or energy to read preachy meditative volumes. The chapters are short and sweet, yet they leave the reader with words of wisdom and encouragement to chew on all day.
One of my favorite chapters relates the story of the little pregnant stray cat that Lorilee's family adopted. I laughed as I read her concerns about her willingness to act as doula for the little feline.
You will laugh and you will cry as you read Just Give Me A Little Piece of Quiet. It's a PERFECT baby gift - especially for a second-time mom. I highly recommend it.
Check out all of her books! You'll be so glad you did - and you'll be a better mom and wife because of it.
Piece of Quiet
Lorilee Craker has got to be the funniest writer I have read on motherhood. This book is set up for short reads. I read a little two or three page blurb before bed and it has validated me as a momma and remind me that "I am not the only one". Craker has a definite gift at conveying her humor, I can't wait to read another book by her!
