The Mommy Zone: Tales from the Trenches of Parenthood

Tekla's writing style is fresh, fast, witty and insightful. Parenting a 4 and a 5 year old and I can totally relate to all the stories. I read the book with a smile and had to laugh outloud several times. A perfect mirror of what goes on in the life of a family. Tekla vividly captures the adventures of parenthood in this day and age. I already see myself rereading it 10 and 20 years down the road, nostalgic tear in eye, tuning right back into this precious and intense phase of my life. I wish I had the time to capture the daily details of life as a parent, but since I don't have it....Thanks Tekla, I'll just use yours.

This collection of essays shows how a little humor goes a long way in day-to-day family life. Interesting stories and nice writing make it a great read. Just what a harried mom needs at the end of the day.
