"Mommies' Priceless Moments" is a book of short anecdotes from real moms about their experiences with motherhood--the sweet, the scary, the gross, and more. The book itself is narrated by the author, who interjects her own comments and stories throughout, many of which focus on her rambunctious son, Tyson.  This book will likely make women who already have children chuckle, and may make those who haven't yet been initiated into motherhood alternately cringe in fear and smile at the adventure having a child really is.Some of the incidents shared? A child who is a Picasso with his own poop...a toddler who accidentally sets a house on fire...a mom who's driven to the edge by her daughter's tantrum in a store and just as quickly melts at her daughter's innocent sweetness...scary moments having to do with electric shocks and swimming pools...and more."Mommies' Priceless Moments" promises to give its readers the real stories about motherhood, the ones no one ever tells you, and it does! But the tone of the book is one of gentle joy, and I doubt anyone could read this and not get the feeling that all of these mothers are overjoyed to have their children in their lives, no matter what hijinks those children get up to. Recommended for moms who already have children, moms to be, and women who are thinking about becoming mothers in the future!
