Second Edition. DR. LAURA SCHLESSINGER TOLD HER NATIONAL RADIO AUDIENCE: "BUY THIS BOOK!"Author Diane Dean-Epps pokes fun at the real-life happenings that make up the experiences of married couples and parents everywhere in what she considers the four major areas of our parenting life cycle
In-Volvement (Marriage), In-Utero (Maternity), In-Sanity (Motherhood) and In-House (Management). These sections are organized into easy-to-read segments that allow the time poor, poorly timed parent, to pick up, put down, pick up and put down the book almost as often as they do their own children.
The idea for Maternal Meanderings was born simultaneously with the writer's second child. (Or, as Dean-Epps says, "Okay, AFTER the epidural wore off and AFTER I had washed approximately 1,233 baby items and AFTER I could get my shirt on over my post-birth Pamela Lee Anderson pre-reduction breasts.)
Maternal Meanderings has comedy for everyone, whether you're having a mid-life crisis, a hormonal crisis or parenting crisis. The book applies to testosterone and estrogen producers alike, and it will make you laugh, ease your tensions and remind you that the nutty world of parenting is a world of shared experiences.
Diane Dean-Epps has worked in television and radio, performed in commercials as both on-air talent and voice talent, as well as performing her own stand-up comedy routines that she has written. As a popular humor columnist her writing has appeared regularly for the past several years in numerous periodicals, most notably the San Francisco Chronicle, The Contra Costa Times, The Union and at ParentingHumor.com.
