Synopsis

Motherhood is like an exciting roller coaster ride. We’re smiling and laughing one minute, then screaming the next. Get ready for the ride of your life—a ride on the roller coaster called motherhood! Humorous and perceptive author Janene Wolsey Baadsgaard will take you on an exhilarating-exhausting, exuberant-exasperating journey through the ups and downs, twists and turns of modern mothering. Janene covers all the well-known "eras" of family life—such as A.D. (Always-Diapers Period) and the Middle Ages (Unenlightened Period). Hilarious one moment and quietly moving the next, this book captures both the trying and the tender moments of motherhood. Being a mother is an ongoing adventure, and so, as the author observes, "the idea is to hold on tight, take a deep breath, and enjoy the whole wild and unpredictable ride."
