YOU'RE EITHER A MILF OR YOU'RE A MILF-DUD. TAKE YOUR PICK.

Whether sporting a cardigan and jeans, sweats or a business suit, today's Mom is a shining example of confidence, poise, and age-defying beauty. Even as she juggles carpool, PTA, and the demands of the office, or shrieks, GET IN THE TUB, NOOOWWW!, she's pretty darn hot.
A MILF ISN'T BORN, SHE'S MADE
A Milf is confident in her choices, because doubt is for 20-year-olds.
A Milf laughs. A lot.
A Milf kisses her man in public and hugs her kids until they cry out in sheer embarrassment.
A Milf doesn't let petty issues get her down and always looks up (take that gravity!).

Great book... thanks to my fellow MILF, Wendy, for entertaining my child for a few hours today so I could relax and finish my book! :)

A couple of good insights but mostly ehh

Okay, so I was searching my library for ebooks I could borrow about parenting, and this one came up. I doubt I would've checked it out if I had to hand it to a real librarian (yet here I am reviewing it for the whole Internets), but anonymous ebooks and all... Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the target audience, but I figured why not.
I spent the first third (maybe even half) of the book disliking it. I even started highlighting passages to make fun of & complain about in my review. There's a dumb quiz you can take to see if you're a MILF, there's a list of ways to pimp out your minivan (cuz, ya know, moms having nothing better to spend their disposable incomes on), and there's the recurring milk / MILF thing from the title... cuz ya know, takeoffs on that Got Milk commercial -- FROM 1993! -- are really original. Anyway. On a more serious level, the book started to sound like it fit with that not-so-empowering idea that since women can be anything they want to be, just maybe they should be perfect at everything. It mentions its share of designer brands and pokes fun at some good strong women.
But it got better. There were good points about clothes & make-up -- specifically, that the stuff that worked for you in your 20s doesn't work anymore -- you've changed, your body's changed, your skin's changed. I like the part about dressing in patterns or layers so you can easily mask or remove the spit-up-upon items. The MILF mantra (maximum efect with minimum effort) seems like a useful approach. It recommends staying fit by staying off the playground bench & really playing with your kids. And it ends with a fun little list of 25 "rules" for MILFs -- things like "shower every day" and "be passionate about one thing other than your family."
There's nothing groundbreaking here. It's just a collection of the sorts of articles you'd find in a checkout stand women's magazine. And if you read those, you've probably seen all this same stuff a million times. But it's harmless. After all, what mother can't use a reminder that you can still be a beautiful confident woman even when you're toting a toddler?

Every mom has the potential for MILFdom! "Roles as moms thrust into sharp relief their confidence, pride, and age-defying beauty. Their strong senses of self made them more complicated, more captivating and infinitely more intriguing creatures...These were women with families, responsibilities, and passion. They didn't disappear behind their families-they stood out.
This book is humorous and a shot of confidence!

It was OK. I laughed out loud a couple of times. It is along the lines of the Sweet Potato Queen books, but not quite as funny. It's only 115 pages, so worth a short time investment if you are a mom

Great humor and some moments in which you identify with the writer. A funny look at how to enjoy your life as a mom.
