Product Description
Motherhood -- it's not for wimps.

Once the zigzagging hormones and endless, bleary-eyed exhaustion of the first year have worn off, you're left with the startling realization that your tiny, immobile bundle has become a rampaging toddler, complete with his or her very own, very forceful personality.

Just as Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay helped debunk decades of parenting myths to offer honest advice for the first year, Naptime Is the New Happy Hour is a voice of reason for every woman facing questions such as: Will refined sugar make my toddler's head explode? Is it wrong to have a cocktail at two in the afternoon? And what exactly is a Backyardigan?

With biting wit and boatloads of common sense, Stefanie Wilder-Taylor addresses all these concerns and more. Whether it's planning easy outings that are fun for both of you (fact: your child will find the local Target just as scintillating as the Guggenheim), dishing the dirt on preschool TV (those mothers who swear their kids don't watch television? Liars or psychos, every one), or perfecting the art of the play date, readers will find advice, anecdotes, and a reassuring sense of camaraderie to help them survive -- and even thrive -- during each hilarious, frustrating, and amazing moment.

the perfect "mom" book
This book has everything a stressful mom would need. Humor, truth, and more humor. I laughed and cried with this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone with children.

Another lemon from an absolute mediocrity.
The fact that publishing houses are now multinationals means that most new books are, in essence, washing powder: marketed to meet a particular demographic. And this "author" is responsible for some of the most perfectly packaged bilge in a very, very deep reservoir of bilge. Another depressing foray into her inadequacies as a mother, this book is to be avoided as studiously as her first.

Cute, But Purchase It From The Library
I think this is a very cute book, easily read, very relatable and the writing is quirky but solid! My thoughts are that while this book is a great read the first time I don't think I will ever read it again.... it is just not one of those books you need to read more than once. I do feel it is worth reading so borrow it from the library on your way home from story time.

Funniest book for mom's EVER!!
This book gives a perfect description of what "normal" moms are. As a mother of three, most days I don't start cleaning or getting dressed unless I have to leave the house or an hour before my husband gets home. The author gives us the OK to do that citing that she is just like us. I think moms worry too much about how their children will turn out if they make mistakes too often. I make them all day long and my kids are fine, as the author states about hers.

The author tells her tales from finding a pre-school that doesn't involve a brief case and punchcard for kids to admitting that having sex once a month is normal after children. This book seemed to speak directly to me and my life. It made me feel like a better mother. Don't miss out on this one, ladies!

Loved it!! I think I loved it even more than sippy cups.
I think I liked this book every more than sippy cups! Makes me feel like I am not alone out there and personally I love sarcastic humor. Too bad I live on the east coast and can not immediately try to make myself Stephanie's BFF.
