The Perfect Gift

For anyone who's been a mother...that is.  Okay - Mother's day is coming up, and if you want something inexpensive and hilarious to give your mother-type person, you'll want to grab this little jewel, The Crazy Daze of Motherhood.  Jane Still has written a collection of stories about being a mother that are just sooo close to home.  Anyone who has been a mother, has lived with a mother, wants to be a mother or knows a mother should pick up a copy and hand it over.  It's a laugh a page, and many of you will totally associate with her.


For example, one story is how her husband became a hypochondriac when they had their first baby.  Another story is the about getting a spiral perm that I certainly related to.  She delivers each story with dry wit and humor, bringing the story totally to life.


It has cute little illustrations (though, Jane, did you forget I do illustrations???  I don't remember getting contacted...ahem.) that enliven the story and add to the humor.  Really - you need to grab this and gift it to anyone who needs a laugh about motherhood.  Which is like, well everyone female on the planet.  Right?


And to make it even better, you can win a fun prize from Jane to help celebrate the release of her book.  Just go to her blog at http://www.janeisfeldstill.blogspot.com and become a follower, and then leave her a comment and tell her that you're a new follower.  You could win: 

1. Mother's Daze basket, soap, chocolate, lotion, decorative candles, and recipe cards
2. Box of blank cards with a smattering of Canadian chocolate
3. Chocolate

Anything better than chocolate??  Most woman wouldn't think so...and since most of you will be hinting for a copy of the book for Mother's day, then hey, there you go.  Enjoy!!

Wow... really??

so - I didn't realize it has been that long since my last post.  I think I kind of gave up on it, knowing I don't have many follower...
