In the sarcastic family humor tradition of Erma Bombeck, comes Lauren Lauterwasser’s The Mom Comedies. Told in brief episodes, the hilarious stories of The Mom Comedies will bring laughter and tears to anyone who has ever lost their mind while raising a child. Author, and mom, of course, Lauren Lauterwasser began the book as a blog, back in the day before blogging was cool. When she became pregnant, which the inexperienced young author naively assumed would be the most stressful event she would ever have to face in life, Lauterwasser began a ‘baby site’ chronicling her maternity experiences for family and friends who lived far away. Unexpectedly, she developed a following far larger than her family. E-mail requests for more ‘mom comedies’ flowed through her in-box.
Once she had children (two girls, delivered eighteen months apart, thank you), Lauterwasser didn’t seem to have as much time to write. At least not until Facebook came along, which allowed for her to write in short, humorous bursts. Encouraged by the responses to the steady stream of frank stories, Lauterwasser began posting about her life as a bewildered mother. These are stories of a young, working mother trying to keep herself sane alongside a smart-aleck husband and two young daughters whose antics will keep the readers in stitches.
In revealing her own zany family, she hopes not only to just entertain readers, but to make them feel like their own flesh and blood is not so crazy. From toddler speech slip-ups to fishing trips to unexpected visits from central Florida armadillos, The Mom Comedies brims with biting, exasperated humor from a frenzied, family perspective.
