Bookworm Week Giveaway #1: Peeing in Peace CLOSED

So, earlier today, I brought you a review of See Mom Run by our very own Role Mommy, Beth Feldman. Well, did you know that she and Yvette Manessis Corporon, the founders of www.rolemommy.com wrote their first book back in 2007?

Peeing in Peace: Tales & Tips for Type A Moms is an uproarious how-to guide for the overwhelmed mom. Whether you work outside of the home, work at home, or are a stay-at-home parent, you know how difficult it can be to juggle your responsibilities and the many hats you have to wear on a daily basis. It's easy to feel like you're about to drop the ball and lose it at any moment. You may not always be able to vent to friends who understand, which is what makes this book a necessity for your bedside table.

Are you a multi-tasking mom pulled in a million directions by your precocious kids, demanding boss and starved-for-attention spouse? Do you find the only time you are able to steal a moment to yourself is when you’re behind the doors of a bathroom stall? Then you are in desperate need of a play-date with Peeing in Peace.

Between the pages of this book you’ll find your community, confidantes and co-conspirators. Packed with hilarious stories and side-splitting parenting tips, we’ll help you navigate the choppy waters of work, home and everywhere in between.

Whether you’re a working mom practicing the daily juggle, expectant mom wondering what your new life will be like, or stay at home mom who’s thinking of one day dusting off those old business suits and jumping back into the game, this is the only humorous how-to you’ll ever need. Who else but two successful time-strapped busy working moms can offer a brutally honest yet beautifully inspiring glimpse of what it’s really like to be a modern day working mother?

I haven't had a chance to review this book yet but it sounds like something every mom could use for those times you feel things are spiralling out of control. I was a full-time, working-outside-the-home mom for 8 months before coming to a crossroads and making the decision to stay at home. I've had the unique opportunity to view motherhood from both perspectives. Unlike other books that patronize you for the lifestyle you've chosen for your family or pit moms against one another, this book seems nonjudgmental and constructive.
