Confessions of Super Mom

I picked this book up because of the cover and because my daughter has been obsessed with superheros her whole life. The story is a page-turner, tugging at themes that, as parents, we all struggle through--negotiating our consumer oriented, media saturated world, family dynamics etc. The tongue-in-cheek, slighty "noir" style of writing increases the sensation that such a story really could happen to you, if only certain things fell into place. It was a wonderful, uplifting fun read that I have been recommending to everyone. I am also really hoping for a sequel!

Huge thanks to Melanie Lynne Hauser for giving us moms what we deserve--our very own super hero. Smart, funny and surprisingly poignant, CONFESSIONS OF SUPER MOM introduces us to divorced mother Birdie Lee, who, after a ghastly Swiffer accident, discovers that there's no mess too huge, no child too unruly for her to conquer. But Birdie's powers don't stop there, and before the book is through, she's thwarted evil and saved the children of her town from corporate greed gone mad. Along the way, she reconnects with her teenage children and even finds the love she deserves. This story has enough heart and humor for any book-loving mom.

I allowed myself to run out of reading material and had to resort to checking my wife's nightstand, where I found "Confessions of Super Mom". I started reading the first page and was immediately hooked. This was a fun, witty read...so much so that even a guy can appreciate it!

I really enjoyed, "Confessions of Super Mom." Melanie's great humor shined through almost ever page. If anyone has ever caught themselves juggling between soccer practices, a hundred loads of laundry,and cooking a family meal by midnight, they will love this book. So skip the laundry for a day, and read about your life! This is a must for all those over-worked, underpaid moms! I also recommend, "Mom CEO", by Teresa Kindred, and, "Leaving Lancaster County", by Teresa Phillips Sicily Yoder Author of, "Amish Cooking with Sicily Yoder"

" Confessions of Supermom" is a perfect read when you need to escape from the drugeries of making lunches, car pooling and trying to find the spelling lists. Melanie Lynn Hauser writes a charming story of Birdie Lee who is trying to juggle teenage angst, ex hubbie attitudes, best friend betrayl and a crush on fellow PTA member, Carl. When a horrble swifer incident changes her to super human the fun really begins! This is a laugh out loud book with many wonderful insights! A great gift book to share with a friend who needs reminding that she too is a super mom no matter what her kitchen floor looks like.
