Holiday Stress Getting to You, Mom? Laughter Really Is the Best Medicine! by Kathy Shimmield

When the holiday – or everyday – stress of motherhood gets you to the point of seriously contemplating hiding in the cupboard for some alone time, taking a break with some much-needed humor is the solution. We all know the health benefits in doing something that amuses you or gives you that big belly laugh. Talking with friends about how you'll lose your mind if you pick up one more lone sock helps you vent and feel you're not alone in the journey.

Being a mom of three myself, I go through the daily joys and insanity as well, which is why I thought I'd write a book that would bring some humor to a mom’s day. I've created and written a few books just for moms, and the latest is a parody book called, “Goodnight Mom.” I hope it makes you smile!
