Permission Slips Review and Giveaway (5 winners) 12/12

I am not really a fan of reading when I have a deadline, so I only choose to review books that seem to connect with my personal wants, needs, and desires. I am a super busy mom. If you know me personally, you know I am here, there and everywhere all the time. I have never been good at taking "Me Time". This book clearly states it is "Every Woman's Guide to Giving Herself A Break"...Well, I need one...sign me up.
From the Publisher: Covering topics such as "It's Jesus or Jail," "Marriage, the Hard Way," "Children: The Gift You Can't Give Back," and "All the Things I Don't Know...And All the Things I Definitely Do," stand-up comedienne, actress, and ABC's The View co-host Sherri Shepherd comically chronicles her struggles to keep up with the many roles-professional, wife, mother, daughter, and friend-that women must play in today's world. Sherri urges women to pursue their most important dreams and to never give up, but also let's readers know that it's okay to give themselves "permission slips" when things don't always work out the way they want them to.

My Take: This book is an easy read. It is broke up in 1-2 page snippets of Sherri Shepherds life. She has stories about her sisters, diabetes, TV appearances, I did catch breast pump in one (now I can't find it because it was too funny at the time)...story of my life, lol. She follows up by suggestion what you should give yourself permission to do...You know the stuff us moms forget to do.

I found this book fun, inviting and just a break from my own insanity. I can sit and read one whole thought while I wait for the kids at school. No having to go back a few pages and reread it all to pick up a week later. Plus you can read them again and again in any order because they are not connecting stories. Each chapter has a main idea, but after that all bets are off. She is so easy to relate to even if you came from Idaho.

Must Read!!!
