Once upon a time, I belonged to a Book Club. We met once a month to discuss the book we all read and drink some wine. We read classics like To Kill a Mockingbird, trendy books like The Da Vinci Code, trashy books like The Nanny Diaries, and amazing books like Lovely Bones.
Now I sit on the couch (oh yes, laptop in lap) with American Idol on the tube. (Side note: American Idol is perfect laptop television … takes zero brainpower and it totally entertaining.) Anyway, here’s a book recommendation for ALL MOMS who want to read, but can’t find the time: The Three Martini Playdate. It’s more than a book filled with quick wit, subtle humor, and clever anecdotes. It’s a mantra.
Seriously, this is a funny book that can be read one short chapter at a time. There are some great tips that remind you that our kids are not going to break and it’s okay if we mess them up a bit. Here are some of my favorite chapters:
- Your Cost-Efffective Tomboy
- Screaming: Is it Necessary?
- Diaper Bag or Steamer Truck?
- Bedtime: Is 5:30 too early?
Happy reading! It’s worth the time – and a chapter can be completed during the 5 minute window between crawling into bed and crashing to sleep. It will inspire you to bust out the Grey Goose or SKYY at your next playdate.
Just trying to squeeze in some television between mothering, working and crashing.
