Reviews

“[If] she's right, then maybe a slacker mom will be the best kind of mom to have, after all.”
Newsweek


“Celebrates the benefits of simplicity in mothering.”
New York Daily News


“[Mead-Ferro has a] wicked sense of humor."
Washington Post


“This quick, entertaining read provides welcome validation for the feet-on-the-couch mom many of us long to be.”
Chicago Tribune


“A brief, breezy take on a theme that seems to be resonating with a lot of mothers right now.”
USA Today


“Quirky and unpretentiously honest.”
Library Journal


“Will have you nodding knowingly, chuckling out loud and maybe even shedding a tear or two.”
Arizona Republic


“The latest and funniest in a series of parenting backlash books …. The author’s extra-dry Wyoming sarcasm… puts New Yorkers to shame.”
Los Angeles Times


“If you feel guilty about the fact that you want a life outside your kids, that your child isn’t yet on the Ivy League fast track, or that you haven’t protected her from her every last bump and bruise—don’t. Ready Muffy Mead-Ferro’s hilarious Confessions of a Slacker Mom and you’ll realize you’re doing a pretty good job.”
Healthy Family


“A humorous and candid look at how one woman learned to stop feeling guilty and embrace being an imperfect mother.”
Child


“A welcome relief from the flood of how-to-mother-perfectly tomes, Mead-Ferro’s short and sweet book is a reminder not to take parenthood too seriously.”
Publisher’s Weekly


"Confessions of a Slacker Mom and Confessions of a Slacker Wif' by Muffy Mead-Ferro top my list of books to give to my girlfriends. They're hilarious, smart and (sometimes painfully) honest essay collections by a woman who is comfortable enough with her real life to pin it up like laundry on a line. I pay them my highest compliment: wish I'd written them."
AOL Book Maven


"Sure to have tongues wagging on real life Wisteria Lanes"
USA Today


"Terrific follow-up to her popular Confessions of a Slacker Mom...a refreshing take on the role of the superwife"
Oxygen magazine
