Tell us about your book.
Moms want sleep.  Moms want five minutes of peace and quiet. Moms want to be left alone in the bathroom for more than 45 seconds.  But more than anything, moms want to know that they are not alone in this crazy ride called Motherhood.  

That’s why I wrote A Real Mother: Stumbling  Through Motherhood.

It is a 136-page collection of my most popular parenting columns from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

There are moments in parenting that provide bliss, joy and wonder.  A Real Mother is about the other moments. Parents will catch a glimpse of their lives in the pages of A Real Mother and know that it’s okay
to laugh not only at the ups-and-downs of parenting, but also at
themselves.

Presumably it is aimed only at mothers?
It’s written with mothers-to-be, moms in the trenches and grandmothers who have survived to tell the tale in mind but Dads enjoy it too.

Complete this sentence for us: If you like________________,  you’ll love A Real Mother.

How would you like the reader to feel as they read the last word of your book?
Like their abs ache from laughing for 136 pages. . . and that it’s better to laugh at most of the moments of parenthood – mainly because it’s a lot more fun than crying.

Tell us a bit more about yourself.
I’m the mom of two teens and a humor columnist for the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.  When I’m not embarrassing my teenagers,
I’m hanging out in this great college town in the mountains that I
call home.
