by Kristen Lazuta

After emerging countless times from the local grocery store with a bucking toddler, significant armpit stains, and the fresh sting of stink-eyes from other customers, Kristen Lazuta always had a choice—cry, laugh, or post.

As a fan of Facebook and as a Mom, this book resonated with me in so many ways, and while I don't know the author personally, her aunt is my BFF, so an inside peak at a family I already know made this read a lot more personal to me. I laughed and cries as stories told to me second-hand became more detailed and real. Her funny posts about her daughters had me reminiscing about the times my kids did similar things. How I wish I had had Facebook back then. I could have used the "therapy".
