Synopsis

Take a walk on the funny side of life

Being a parent is tough. With Sandi Kahn Shelton, it's also hilarious! This outrageously funny collection of her WorkingMother magazine columns captures the everyday challenges of parenthood with wit, wisdom, and lots of laughs. Join Sandi as she tackles lost car keys, chiecken pox, broken appliances and getting a new puppy...struggles with cash machines, hairdressers, and computers...and says goodbye when her firstborn heads to college, along with the secret to programming the VCR. She'll make you howl, she'll make you cry, and she'll teach you that when it comes to parenting, laughter truly is the best medicine.
