Title: Mama, Mama, Only MamaAuthor: Lara Lillibridge
Genre: Nonfiction, Humor, Self-Help, Advice, Memoir, Parenting, Children, Single-Parenting.
Plot: One day Lara woke up and decided that her bland married existence was too stifling to continue. So she uprooted her world and moved out, adventuring tentatively into the world of single parenting.
There is more to her story, of course. Like what happens when you're the main authority of the house and yet there are still icky spiders to deal with, the trials of co-parenting and what happens when you try to date as a single parent. While she worked her way through those challenges, Lara still had two adventurous boys to raise, a dog to monitor and a couple of jobs to work.
This book is about how she overcame all those challenges and reconnected with herself.
Likes/Dislikes: Single-parenting is hard but so is denying yourself and staying in a loveless bland marriage. Somehow Lara found the strength to do what many of us can't and she overcame her struggles. She still has a messy car though and that will never change. In between her humorous life lessons are tasty, easy recipes and blog posts that spotlight her personal growth. I really enjoyed this book, though it didn't necessarily sell me on the joys of single parenthood. I especially enjoyed the humorous recipes. Definitely a very fun read.
Rating: PG-14 and up, mainly for reading level and some content (it's a parenting book).
