About this ebook

Following the success of Go the F**k to Sleep, Confessions of a Scary Mommy, and Ketchup Is a Vegetable, a collection of funny, warm, and charmingly profane tales from the frontlines of parenthood by the author of the popular Baby Sideburns blog.

Once upon a time you and your partner had a perfect life: dinners out, weekend mornings cuddling in bed, brunch with friends. Then you gave birth to a poop machine (or two). Now, it's all about the pediatrician, breast pumps, princess dresses, and minivans. And discovering that your pride and joy is actually a little A-hole.

When your son wakes you up at 3:00 A.M. because he wants to watch Caillou, he's an a-hole. When your daughter outlines every corner of your living room with a purple crayon, she's an a-hole. When your rug rats purposely paint the kitchen ceiling with their smoothies, they're a-holes. At times like these, it's only natural to want to kill them (or yourself). But it's against the law (and there's the suicide hotline). Plus, there's that whole loving them more than anything in the whole world thing.

In I Heart My Little A-Holes, Karen Alpert shares hilarious stories, lists, and deep thoughts on the joys and horrors of raising children. Accompanied by cheery illustrations and photos I Heart My Little A-Holes will make you laugh so hard you'll wish you were wearing a diaper.

I think the sample is probably enough to know if you are invested in finding out what happens next in this motherhood story or not. The sample goes over the first chapter or so and helps for anyone who's having a hard time breastfeeding, I could have definitely used this when I first became a mom! other wise I will not be purchasing this although I can relate to it, I'm not invested.

A book chronicling the author's experience as a parent of two toddlers, and all the "crazy" she goes through daily as result. Very entertaining, and only took me two days to finish.

I don't have any children yet (I'm pregnant now) and I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't stop reading! Definitely worth the buy. The language can get a bit rough at times, but other than that it's great.

About the author

Karen Alpert loves her family, chocolate and writing, in that order. So when she’s not taking care of her kiddos or drinking Hershey’s syrup straight from the bottle, she’s probably working on her blog Baby Sideburns where she entertains hundreds of thousands of stressed out parents every day. She is a New York Times bestselling author and also an expert nagger who relentlessly badgers her husband until he finally breaks down and does what she wants.
