How a wannabe perfect mom hit the wall of reality—hard. A funny, relatable, and spiritual look at the unforgettable journey of motherhood. Mommy Memoirs is a delightful journey from pregnancies and births to marriages and a hysterectomy! There are few stones left unturned as author Ann Van De Water describes her hectic life as a mother of three boys in short read-it-and-run stories that will have her audience laughing out loud one minute and grabbing tissues the next. These true-to-life experiences filled with humor, tenderness, practicality, and joy, written by a been-there-done-that mom, will have other moms and grandmothers reminiscing and expectant moms anticipating their own adventures. All will come away knowing they are not alone on their journey through motherhood. “Reading Ann’s book was like dipping my cup into a well of stories filled with the authentic trials and triumphs of motherhood.” —Jill Kelly, author of Without a Word “I have been laughing my head off as I read Ann’s anecdotes about raising her three sons . . . I found so many stories that I could relate to, from ‘letting down’ in public (breastfeeding moms know exactly what I mean) to struggling to find a last-minute Halloween costume. I encourage all mothers and moms-to-be to read Ann Van De Water’s Mommy Memoirs. You’ll learn that you don’t have to be perfect to be the best mom for your kids!” —Susan M.
