What do you get when you mix a crawling toddler, a screaming baby, and a sudden craving for pickles and ice cream all over again?
Sheer panic, for starters.
After having three children
within 26 months (none are
twins), Dallas Louis’ life has been a non-stop circus. From nearly
getting kicked out of Disneyland
after her youngest tackled Cinderella, to being on a first name basis
with her
family orthopedic surgeon, Louis’ children and home life are a constant
source of material – enough to fill her new book, The Mommy Diaries:
How I’m Surviving Parenting without Killing Anyone (May
2012).
The
Mommy Diaries chronicles
the family life of an everyday mom trying to navigate the waters of
parenting.
Louis walks readers through her most embarrassing moments and some of
her more
bizarre emergency room trips. She also sheds light on the husband/wife
dynamic
and the twists and turns a marriage takes when kids (and household
projects)
enter the mix.
With
chapters such as “You
Shoved WHAT up Your Nose?” and “Why Some Animals Eat Their
Young”, Louis shares her parenting lessons with a generous dose of
humor.
Through it all, she also shares her source of strength and the means by
which
she not only perseveres through her day, but also finds the joy amidst
the
chaos: God.
