Making Light of the Changes in Your Life (FM)

While my radio show is all about the changes a couple's life goes through when bringing baby home, I am usually talking with guests that are resources for the journey. This week I wanted to talk to two mothers who have written funny books dishing about the reality of motherhood and how humorous the difficulties can be.

Stefanie Wilder Taylor seemed to have paved the way for more mothers to write books about how life really is! When she wrote the book "Sippy Cups are Not For Chardonnay" four years ago, when her daughter was born, there were no real funny books out there for new moms. Since then she has written a continuation that speaks straight to me -- "Nap Times are the New Happy Hour" as her little girl became a toddler and she welcomed twin girls to her family. Listen in as we laugh it up and enjoy a funny motherhood rapport.

Then Claudine Wolk author of "It Gets Easier and Other Lies We Tell New Mothers" talks about how moms are now coming out of the closet with more enlightening books, and creating a movement through Blogging to let their voices be heard!

We chat about the "lies" other mothers tell each other and what she discovered in her 12 year compilation of interviewing hundreds of moms coast to coast for the content of her book. Check out her website at www.help4newmoms.com.
