I bought this book for my wife and ended up reading it myself. As parents of a two year old and three year old, we could relate to practically every story. Some stories like "Ode to Dad" really hit home. This book is a must for any parent. We need more family humor to make us realize we're not the only ones going through these things. As it says on the cover, "laughter really is the best medicine for parenting"! I can't fathom why anyone who has kids wouldn't enjoy this book immensely.

I just discovered this author by accident as I was browsing the Amazon site. Her book sounded interesting and so I ordered it. It came this morning and I haven't been able to put it down since! Ms. Farmer has her finger on the pulse of motherhood and really knows how to tell a funny story. Whether she's telling the hilarious story of the "homemade lunches" or detailing her adventures of going "cartless" through the big department stores, she had me in stitches!!! I can't recommend this book enough to anyone who has kids. Ms. Farmer has proved an expert at tickling the funny bone.

I just want to say that I totally enjoyed reading this book. Most of the stories hit close to home because I have small children. I felt that Debbie Farmer was writing the stories about me. This book is a must for anyone with children. You will thoroughly enjoy it.

I love Debbie's writing. I've read many of her columns and essays, and this book reveal's Debbie at her all time best. She takes the real frustrations and pains of parenting, and forces us to see it in humorous, loving light. You KNOW she is a mother and a wonderful one at that when you read this book.

Erma was wonderful. Debbie is just as awesome.

I love Debbie's column which I receive in my e-mail on a regular basis. I also love this book. It is full of some very funny insights into life as a parent.She is someone who has been "in the trenches", so to speak and knows exactly what it feels like when your darling children are ready to drive you to the funny farm. She writes with a loving heart that shows the best way to handle many situations is to laugh about it. Sometimes parenting children can push you to the end of your rope and the best thing for you and your children is to stand back, take a deep breath and let out a good belly laugh. I look forward to a follow-up book in the future.

I receive Debbie's Family Daze on a regular basis. After reading her first column- I was hooked! Debbie is outrageously funny; reason being, her stories hit home! Getting through my really "stressed-out-Mom" days is more tolerable after reading Debbie's take on life with kids! Thanks Debbie! Keep 'em coming!

I receive Debbie's e-column on a regular basis and it never fails to get me breaking out in laughter. She gives us a picture to relate to in our own world of parenting with all the crazy things that happen. We can laugh about it and know we are not alone. She is a talented author who deserves to receive a 5 star award from Amazon! Great book Debbie. Once again you have captured the whacky world of parenting.

Funny, charming, caring, a delight to read.

Debbie hits the nail on the head with her humor about parenting. This book is a must have for any parent. She turns the trials of parenthood into humorous stories that touch everyone.

I have not a yet read her book but have had parts of it sent to me in her column. As a dad of eight children I can relate to some of the stories she has sent me. To find humor in every day child raising is one of the best ways to let the little thing go. Thank you for your insite and the laughter.
