About the Author
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a woman...
She was a stay-at-home mom to two crazy little boys, wife to a busy man, and owner of her own marketing communications business.
In order to escape the chaos, she had come to know as life, she started to write about it. Soon her "cracked" way of looking at things became a column, and now a book!
Kathryn Mahoney has been entertaining friends and family with her humor for years, but it wasn't until after the birth of her second child she decided to "share". In 2001 she began writing her column, "Sunny Side Up" for Nashoba Publishing of Devens, MA, and continues to write for them today.
Kathryn is also a regular columnist for SanityCentral.com and has had her column published on a variety of parenting web sites, as well as in the book "Misadventures of Moms and Disasters of Dads".
When Kathryn isn't busy writing her humor column, she's running her business CreativEdge Marketing Communications out of her home in Groton, MA, where she resides with her husband and their two sons.

Cracked me up!,
This review is from: Cracked at Birth: One Madcap Mom's Thoughts on Motherhood, Marriage And Burnt Meatloaf (Paperback)
Some lives were just made to be made fun of. Some lives are so wacky, so silly, so undeniably cracked up, you just can't help but chuckle. Kathryn S. Mahoney is living one of those lives.Kathryn Mahoney, who thinks she was CRACKED AT BIRTH, takes time to sit back and good naturedly marvel at the absurdity in her life. And, like the next door neighbor who keeps us in stitches with her zany tales, Mahoney shares the absurdity with us - one laughable story at a time. CRACKED AT BIRTH is a collection of Mahoney's essays from her humor column, "Sunny Side Up," which has been running in six newspapers published by Nashoba Publishing of Devens, MA, since 2001. In this lighthearted essay collection, Mahoney tackles such hilarities as: *Attempting yoga with children in the house *The feeling of being invisible *How to make your husband leave the room *Household mishaps *Valentine's Day romance failures Mahoney seems to have mastered the art of being funny without being too sarcastic. Her style is refreshing and fun, and nearly all of her essays end with a feeling that, given the choice of any other life and family on the planet, she'd still choose the life and family she has. Her essays are warm and endearing, with just enough silly thrown in to make them irresistible. While CRACKED AT BIRTH is consistent - none of her essays are weak or boring - Mahoney's funniest work revolves around her husband and the relationship between the two of them. Far be it from Mahoney to engage in man-bashing - she'd rather lovingly poke fun at the things that make her hubby so adorably male. This slant on love, marriage, and romance is a refreshing style for all those women who adore their hubbies but sometimes just can't help but shake their heads and chuckle over something they've said or done. Mahoney should follow CRACKED AT BIRTH with another humor book ("Cracked at Marriage," perhaps?) filled with nothing but marriage and romance-related essays. Make no mistake, however; CRACKED AT BIRTH points out the sunnier side of so much more than love and marriage. Mahoney has no qualms ribbing her kids, her mother, even herself! It is this quality that gives her work tantalizing breadth. Good for a light read and perfect for the bookshelf of any aspiring humorist, Kathryn S. Mahoney's CRACKED AT BIRTH will tickle your funny bone and maybe even make you look at your own cracked life in a little sunnier light.

Kathryn Mahoney relays humourous tales of the everyday joys of family living by sharing her real life experiences, adventures and dreams. A fun and enjoyable must read for anyone who would like to excape their own family reality and enter into another's "cracked" sense of seeing the lighter side of things.

Universal Truths & Embarrassing Secrets,
By Sherri Caldwell "RebelHousewifedotcom" (Atlanta, GA, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cracked at Birth: One Madcap Mom's Thoughts on Motherhood, Marriage And Burnt Meatloaf (Paperback)
From The Rebel Housewife to One Madcap Mom...I felt an instant kinship with Kathryn Mahoney. She writes fast-paced, clever essays on universal truths and embarrassing secrets of motherhood -- and the lady is funny. From totally relate-able riffs on Reality TV, modern-day children's birthday parties, and our eerily number-ized society to WYSIWYG Woman (which I whole-heartedly support!), CRACKED AT BIRTH offers fantastic diversion and out-loud laughs to overwhelmed Moms everywhere -- CRACKED AT BIRTH would be a great gift to those women in your life.-- Sherri Caldwell, Humor Columnist & Reviewer, Co-Author, The Rebel Housewife Rules: To Heck With Domestic Bliss!
