		<description><![CDATA[This book sounds absolutely hysterical to me.  I&#8217;m jealous of the Blisstree readers today because one of you lucky people will win a copy of The Parent Trip by Jenna McCarthy.

Here&#8217;s a description from the author:
Buckle up for a hilarious ride from conception and pregnancy through the first wild-eyed, miraculous months with a baby. The Parent Trip: From High Heels and Parties to Highchairs and Potties exposes the alternately scary, exhilarating, maddening, treacherous, magical underbelly of motherhood in all of its side-splitting glory.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This book sounds absolutely hysterical to me.  I&#8217;m jealous of the Blisstree readers today because one of you lucky people will win a copy of <strong><em>The Parent Trip</em></strong> by <a href="http://www.jennamccarthy.com/books.html" target="_blank"><strong>Jenna McCarthy</strong></a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-73082" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/04/pt-cover-larger.jpg" alt="pt-cover-larger" width="390" height="603" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a description from the <a href="http://www.jennamccarthy.com/index.html" target="_blank">author</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Buckle up for a hilarious ride from conception and pregnancy through the first wild-eyed, miraculous months with a baby. The Parent Trip: From High Heels and Parties to Highchairs and Potties exposes the alternately scary, exhilarating, maddening, treacherous, magical underbelly of motherhood in all of its side-splitting glory.  Candid, thought-provoking chapters include “Why It’s Better to Be You Than Gwen Stefani,” “’Take Me Now, Big Guy!’ and Other Things You Won’t Be Saying Anytime Soon,” and “Mommy’s Dead: Fun and Enlightening Tales for Tots.” Described by reviewers as “hilariously funny,” “whip-smart” and “utterly original,” The Parent Trip delivers the message every fledgling parent longs to hear: You are not alone.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m all for books that add a little levity to our world, aren&#8217;t you?  I think this would make a great read whether you&#8217;ve had kids, want to have them, or want to find a reason <em>not </em>to have them!  Want to win a copy?  Leave a message on this post<strong> by Wednesday, April 22nd</strong>.  I&#8217;ll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky guy or gal the next day.</p>
