Customer Reviews

This book spoke to me!

Currently in the throes of new motherhood myself (two babies nineteen months apart, like the author), I really appreciated this humorous and HONEST take on being a SAHM. The writer also articulates what so many of us are afraid to admit: Staying at home with our kids is the toughest job we've ever had, and feeling this way comes with a guilty conscience - since society deems staying at home with your children a privilege. The book is a collection of smaller stories which can be read in installments - perfect for busy moms who can't sit for an afternoon or evening to devour a good book like we used to! Definitely a great baby shower gift with lots of laughs!

A delightful read

I got this book as a gift from a friend and have so enjoyed it. It really struck a chord with me. I smiled from ear to ear as I read the book. Infact, I just ordered a few copies -- perfect Mom's day gift for many friends. Great work - highly recommend it.

Jen's Writing Sings

I bought this book for my SAHM friends, and they all love it! Jen's writing sings and her humor is spot-on. Touching, funny, and filled with moments of universality, this is a book that any mom will enjoy over and over again!

A delightful giftbook for stay-at-home moms everywhere

14 Hours 'Til Bedtime: A Stay-at-Home Mom's Life in 27 Funny Little Stories is a stay-at-home mother's collection of insightful and chuckle-inducing true anecdotes. Whimsical sketches illustrate this funny and oh-so-true tour of everything from Feng Shui for toddlers to "15 Signs Mommy Needs a Little More Me Time" (sign #1: You've decided not to wash the red paint form today's art project off your fingers, because it's the closest thing to a manicure you've had all year). A delightful giftbook for stay-at-home moms everywhere.

Moms United in Humor!

Jen's take on the long, long, long, long day with little ones is true! Trust me, my angels are 10, 9, 5, 3 & 2 and I have counted the hours until bedtime many afternoons. Jen unites all Moms in the realization that we are all doing the best we can! And if we can't laugh, why bother??? Thanks Jen for your honesty!
