Review of Journey to the Darkside: Supermom Goes Home (Paperback)

my baby is almost 11 months and i'm looking at going back to work in a month. naturally i've flirted at the idea of quitting my bank job and staying at home. this book gives a preview of what awaits! it's another jungle out there, and it only seems great and promising when one is still deciding to crossover. to other moms, read this and be forewarned. anyway i really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others looking for some insight and comic relief!

Product Description
In her latest book, popular humorist and parenting writer Kathy Buckworth takes a good, hard look at what happens when high-powered corporate moms decide to hang up their briefcases and venture into the uncharted waters of the stay-at-home world.

Journey to the Darkside: SuperMom Goes Home explores the culture shock that results when a woman goes from being a corporate go-getter to being an unpaid chauffeur, chef, and maid. Think you're a pro at dealing with office politics? Wait until you attend your first PTA meeting. Confident in your ability to make sound wardrobe choices? Don't listen too closely to what the other stay-at-home moms are saying at the park. Expect your husband to help out when you're feeling under the weather? Hah!

Part guidebook, part warning, Journey to the Darkside is insightful, hilarious, and brutally honest. It will have moms (stay-at-home or otherwise) laughing out loud-which is a good thing, because otherwise, they might have to cry.

Review of Dads Toddlers & Chicken Dance (Paperback)

Downey's book is a must read for all dads, old and new to this game of parenting. I was the fortunate recipient of this book, and having read Downey's earlier book, "So You're Gonna Be A Dad," I knew immediately that Downey would deliver with hilarious material that would make a difference in raising my two daughters. I have not been disappointed.
One significant diifference between Downey's book and others is that his approach diminishes the anxiety that comes with being a dad. He lets you know that there's a lot of other guys going through the same things, and they're all doing just fine.
Perfect holiday gift--better yet, the PERFECT gift to give Dad when his son or daughter turns two. I give Downey's book, "Dads, Toddlers, and the Chicken Dance" the highest rating possible: *****.

About the Author
PETER DOWNEY B.Ed., M.A., J.P., Ed.D., describes himself asoutstandingly ordinary. He lives in a red brick house with his wife,his trio of daughters and a rabbit named Chloe, to whom he is allergic(the rabbit, that is, not the kids). He brews his own beer, takes milkin his coffee and often walks to the corner store to buy bread and thepaper. He wrote this book because he believes in fatherhood; becausehe wanted to warn his paternal brothers about the challenges of livingwith a small child; and because he thinks all other parenting booksare lousy. The main reason, however, is so he can claim his vasectomyas a tax deduction. He lives in Australia.
