"Diapers, Onesies, Stretch Marks--Oh My"

Sometimes, I get baby crazy. The sight of a sweet, chubby, dimpled, smiley munchkin becomes too much and I am convinced that I NEED ONE NOW. And then  my sweet husband reminds me that chubby babies don't stay that way forever.

So, I content myself with babysitting, playing with friends' babies, and reading mommy blogs--my favorite of those mommy blogs being one by a skilled musician, teacher, mama, and delightful writer who hails from frigid New England.  (This is where everyone should figure out that I'm not pregnant and that I'm obviously Californian.)

A few months ago I wrote about Deanna at Everything And Nothing From Essex had introduced the world of precious people with an added chromosome (ie, Down Syndrome) to me with hilarious, witty, candid, blog, filled with delightful tales and pictures of adorable toddlers.

Well, Deanna has taken it to--as Jillian Michaels likes to say The Next Level and written written an e-book--a la blog style

Entitled...

"Diapers,  Onesies, Stretch Marks--Oh My"

  And the content follows after the title. Deanna fills her book with  metaphors such as  "crumbled faster than a graham cracker being spread all over the house by a runaway toddler on 100% juice"  and tales of Christmases spent saving precious ornaments from tiny, dangerous toddler hands. "Diapers" is no lecturing tome on toddler discipline, or ill-written tell all. Instead, it's a heartfelt chat with a understanding, humorous friend; one that promises nothing but empathy and affirmation that chocolate and coffee really comprise an entire food group.

So, for any tired mama chasing toddlers and wondering if she's alone... Or the mommy, reminiscing about those golden crazy years, and wondering if she did it right... Or the twenty something year old, or pinning too many pins on the "one day baby board"--yet secretly wondering if she'll has what it takes... Deanna confesses what we're all thinking: "We clearly lack the fairy dust to pull this gig off."


So READ Deanna of Everything and Nothing from Essex's new E-book, Diapers, Onesies, Stretch Marks--Oh My.  Sit, laugh, cry, and imagine as one woman writes what we're all thinking, fearing, and remembering.

Oh, and the best part? You can buy  Diapers, Onesies, Stretch Marks--Oh My on Amazon and enjoy the luxury of warm, hilarious empathy for the less-than-a-Starbucks-latte--price of  $2.99.  Yep, she really is THAT amazing. 

And do forgive me, Mom, aunties, sisters, friends, and everybody who saw the title of this and thought/hoped it might be a pregnancy announcement. It was just too tempting to resist.
