The Mother of All Meltdowns Book Review

Posted on by

“Every mother, at some point, inevitably becomes her own worst enemy. In a millisecond, her halo crumbles and she has a moment so crazed it is forever known as the one…The Mother of All Meltdowns. The following anthology was written by women who have had their moments. Together we have experienced the anguish and frustration of the adult-sized tantrum. We have shed the tears, dropped to our knees in agony, and asked the age-old question, “Why me?” From poop-decorated rooms to having our liquid gold scrutinized and confiscated by TSA, we’re not afraid to share our collection of thirty tell-all stories. We are survivalists and know that within every meltdown there is a silver lining.”

The Mother of All Meltdowns was by far one of the most fun books I’ve ever read.  It took me a little longer than usual to read it with being so busy with my newborn son, but it was well worth it!  I read it many times during my late night nursing sessions with my son, and I must say it really helped.  While being dead dog tired, I was able to pop on my deemly lite iPad and enjoy a few laughs while my son filled his belly.

Being a new mom, this book was so fitting and relevant to me.  I could relate to many of the stories, and the others…well I’m sure I’ll be able to relate in no time.  I laughed and cringed, and thought to myself “That will be me one day.”.  Every expectant mom, new mom, and parent in general should read The Mother of All Meltdowns.  Its reminds you that you’re not in this game called parenting alone.

Its so easy to get discouraged and be uncertain about being a mother.  In the two months I’ve been a mom, I’ve gone through so many highs and lows.  Reading The Mother of All Meltdowns let me know that what I was experiencing was normal, and that every other mother has been through it as well.  I will definitely be re-reading it and I hoping for a part 2 in the near future!

is available on Amazon in paperback and for download on Amazon Kindle.  It is written by Crystal Ponti, who blogs over at MommiFried.com and a slew of contributing bloggers.

There’s something about the holidays—that warm glow from the fire, the fact that you actually get to spend time with your kids (or your friends’ and family’s kids)—that makes it the perfect time to curl up with the little ones in your life and read them a storybook. Reading a totally new, beautiful, amazing book with a child is a treasured holiday experience. And if you choose the right book, every time the child reads it alone in the future will bring back the memory of that time you shared. Continue reading →

I be honest I don’t read too many traditional books.  I used to when I was younger, like in middle and high school, but in recent years I haven’t.  I can count the number of actual physical books I’ve read in recent years and it might be two.  However, I do know that if a book has an interesting cover that it catches my eye.  At the least, I will pick the book up and read the back or the prologue to see what its about.  Most of the books I do read these days are how-to books, cookbooks, or self-image/makeup-up/fashion/beauty.  I’m not so much for novels, because I never really take the time out to dive into one and get lost in it.  With the internet and social media, its so easy to get caught up in reading the ‘instant’, than reading a real book.

It can be really hard buying books for people as gifts. After all, you never know just which books they already have. And then when you do find the right book and give it to them, how do you make it really personal? Put in a book plate? Write an inscription? How do you make the whole thing totally them?
