Hope your friend enjoys it, bashtree!

Did you enter our giveaway for the book, The Parent Trip? If you did, listen up, I’m just about to announce the winner. It is:

Congratulations to her! I know she’s going to get a good dose of laughter with this book. And that’s so important with parenting, isn’t it? We’d all go nuts if we didn’t have a sense of humor.

If you didn’t win, I highly recommend reading this post from the Motherlode. It is beyond funny, and will make you feel instantly better about your parenting skills.
