What do you get when you mix a crawling toddler, a screaming baby, and a sudden craving for pickles and ice cream all over again? A full-time job. Some people call this “parenting.” It’s an intense roller coaster of constant chaotic sounds; pitter-patter of adorable, yet never-ceasing, little feet; things getting broken; emotional ups and downs…all in addition to the regular duties, chores, and responsibilities of a normal American household. Sometimes laughter is needed to survive the more intense days… The Mommy Diaries: How I’m Surviving Parenting without Killing Anyone is a snapshot into the crazy, daily parenting life of Dallas Louis, author of Girlfriends, Giggles, &amp; God. Dallas is the mother of three kids who all arrived within twenty-six months of each other. Combining that with later home renovation projects and surviving multiple ER visits, all the while still maintaining a relationship with her husband (remember that guy?), she has lived through enough moments of her own to share with her readers her tears and fears through laughter, and often times, the act of surviving the early years by sheer, dumb luck! The Mommy Diaries will have you rolling off your couch, and thanking your lucky stars that all these babies fell to someone else!

Did you ever have one of those days? You know the ones...you keep tripping over the hem in your pants; you roll over the heel of your shoe with your chair at work; again, you can’t stop fighting with your kids or your spouse, or worse, you even feel that God has stopped listening to you... Situations arise daily in each woman’s life that, although sometimes hilarious, laughable, or ironic, can somehow manage to make us feel all alone. Other occasions, we will laugh through our tears, thankful that the drama has fallen on someone else for a change! Girlfriends, Giggles, &amp; God is a thirty-one-day devotional filled with moments of hilarity, reflecting upon circumstances that arise in every woman’s household across the country. Crack the pages open, laugh (because we all know it’s good for the soul), and take comfort in knowing that through all of life’s unexpected twists and turns (good and bad), we can stand united by our Heavenly Father who loves each one of us eternally and unconditionally...and for that we can all giggle a little more freely!

Product Description 
"Earthy, matter-of-fact, and simply hilarious."—Midwest Book ReviewWhen Dallas Louis decided that all she wanted was to meet and marry her Prince Charming and become a mom, she had no idea what was in store for her. But she would soon find out. After only seven months of dating the love of her life, she married him, and within the course of twenty-six months, she gave birth to three children. Her husband knew her longer pregnant than not pregnant!In this laugh-out-loud book, Dallas shares highlights of what happened in her world once all her dreams came true. She would like readers to find comfort in knowing they aren't the only ones suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or buyer's remorse. And, yes, it's okay to admit that both of these conditions apply to parenting, though hopefully not all the time.Channeling Erma Bombeck, Dallas will tell you the things your friends won't and the things other books are too afraid to print. With her irreverent humor and brash "tell it like it is" style, she'll help you laugh at everyday situations, easing the pressure of the toughest job in the world: being a mom. 
 Review 
"Narrated in a style akin to Erma Bombeck: earthy, matter-of-fact, and simply hilarious, as well as thought-provoking. Mothers seeking a bit of humor about their child-rearing experiences will find it in droves . . . It's especially important because without humor, surviving this stage of family life becomes questionable."\n—Midwest Book Review\n"As a fellow mother of almost-Irish twins (mine are 14 months then 24 months apart), it was refreshing to see another mother go public with her struggles. . . . Postpartum depression hits moms hard, and Dallas's comedic take on all the highs and lows of motherhood is hilarious and relatable."\n—Jackie Miller, Snarky Mother Nutrition\n"Reading this book is like having a cup of coffee with a friend—a good, brutally honest one. God must be laughing because these stories made it to print. This book will remind you that despite all your chaos, you are not alone."\n—Kerri Pomarolli, comedian and author of Confessions of the Proverbs 32 Woman\n"The title just sucked me in, and I literally sat down on a Sunday afternoon and read through the whole book, with several outbursts of laughter as I read. . . . There is a great deal to be learned from this author and her unique style of writing."\n—Joesette Huffman, Learning Curve\n"This book is just what every mom needs to read; it'll give you a laugh-out-loud break that will help you survive the most mommy-ness situations you could encounter. . . . [Dallas] lifts back the curtain to give her readers a peek into the real life that is kept hidden away by most of the world on social media."\n—Lisa Healy, Syncopated Mama
