Sleep Is For The Weak.
There have been so many times that I've put finger to key, poised to say the absolutely perfect thing, and the words have ceased to flow. For whatever reason, the words just wouldn't come. A lot of times it's because the topic that I wanted to write about would flow so much better if it was uncensored, and because of my readers I find that I have to watch what words I choose. My blogs typically appeal to the masses. They're clean. They're fresh. They're in a word PhotoShopped.
I read many bloggers, whose words flow like streams... Their words aren't callous, or hurtful. Their words are just truthful. I can feel so much of myself in their words, their stories, their sadness.
When Parent Bloggers Network asked a handful of us to take a look at a new book, I jumped. Sleep Is For The Weak, is a compilation book of 25 Mommybloggers. Falling into that category, I knew that I would find something in common with these women... Indeed I did. Upon picking up the book, I was immediately hooked. The book is broken up into nice manageable chapters, and is totally easy to read on the go. Lately I've found that I can't submerge myself into a great novel, because I pick it up and cannot remember where I left off. This delightful book, is an easy read. With five little ones, all born nearly at once, I read my fair share of parenting books... They didn't give me the insight into motherhood that this one book did.
I'd dare say this book replaces "What To Expect When You're Expecting"... So, you could probably give this as the hands down best gift ever...












I just wanted you to know that I am a mom with a single, double, and a triple. All girls!!! It is always fun to know there is someone else out there who understands the struggles and joys of multiple multiples. My email address is demianandkristi@hotmail.com if you would like to connect sometime

I hope you are feeling better! That book looks awesome. Sometime I will write something out and then try to condense it down after I am done, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't (I am a total rambler, like my daddy). Might work for if you want to censor your post too, just a thought.
