Review

"Anyone enduring a mini-van of belching boys in muddy cleats will see themselves in Paula's light-hearted look at mothering boys" -- Jen Singer, Author of 14 Hours 'Til Bedtime: A Stay-at-Home Mom's Life in 27 Funny Little Stories

"I can say from experience Paula provides a VERY realistic and humorous insight to living, raising and surviving with boys!" -- Priscilla Y. Huff, Author of 101 Best Home-Based Businesses for Women

"More than a story about four boys; it's a light-hearted romp about the coo's, ooh's, and boo's of raising children!" -- Julie Watson Smith, founder of Mommy Hullabaloo™

"Overflowing with one humorous anecdote after another." -- Kirk Martin, Author of The Gravel Drive

"With four boys, Paula Schmitt is not just a mom... she's a saint!" -- Tim Bete, Director, Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop and Author In The Beginning...There Were No Diapers

About the Author

Paula Schmitt lives her life in a locker room as the "All Sports Mom" to four boys between the ages of 9 and 17. When she's not laboring under piles of laundry, restocking the pantry or screaming from the sidelines, she is writing about all of the above. Paula's columns, Mommy Mediator and The All Sports Mom, can be found across the web - give her a Google. She may also be found in print publications such as the Herald of Randolph, Penwomanship magazine, and Adopting for Tomorrow magazine.

Paula's family recently welcomed a daughter from Guatemala (and added some much needed estrogen to the household!). In between her kids' play dates, music lessons and unexpected sports injuries, she is writing her next book and is the co-founder and editor of The Mom-Writers Literary Magazine. Paula lives in Chelsea, Vermont with her wonderfully warped family.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOOO Funny, I read it to my son and he loved it!, March 5, 2007
By 
This review is from: Living in a Locker Room: A Mom's Tale of Survival in a Houseful of Boys (Paperback)
I intended to read this book after the kids went to bed, but my eight-year-old son was struck by the title, figured out it was about sports, and I ended up reading it out loud to my little guy. We thoroughly enjoyed it, laughed page to page, and if I had been allowed to read this one my own would have enjoyed it just as much.
Paula Schmitt captures the exasperating notion of raising boys and fully plays up the potential for hilarity of having, feeding, clothing and finally simply enjoying children.
This book is a happy journey on Highway Mommy. It stays on my nighstand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre... you will get some smiles but no out-loud laughs, July 9, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Living in a Locker Room: A Mom's Tale of Survival in a Houseful of Boys (Paperback)
As a mom of three boys and after seeing the reviews I was really excited to read this book. But I was disappointed. It's not that the book was flat out bad, but the writing style was VERY simple and elementary. While reading the book I got a few smiles, but no out loud laughs. The sense of humor through out the book was very clean and lacked good wit and humor. The humorous comments seemed forced and the author tried too hard to sound funny. Not to sound harsh -- but comments that were meant to be humors basically sounded like lame jokes. If you like clean, elementary humor, that could be sold in a church book store then you may very well like this book. However if you are looking for a great laugh out loud book with hilarious wit and humor try one of the following books:
1. What's the Matter With Mommy?: Rantings of a Reluctant Stay-at-home Mom
2. The Perfect Stranger: The Truth About Mothers and Nannies

5.0 out of 5 stars Living with four boys -- Oh My!, July 12, 2005
This review is from: Living in a Locker Room: A Mom's Tale of Survival in a Houseful of Boys (Paperback)
As a mother of two very active little boys, I can't even imagine what it would be like to raise FOUR of these testosterone producing beings. Fortunately, this book gives me great insight and some great laughs, too. Thanks for sharing!
