Mother’s Day BLOG TOUR: “The Mommy Diaries” by Dallas Louis
POSTED BY elaine ON May 8, 2012
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?
Sheer panic, for starters.
After having three children within 26 months (none are twins), Dallas Louis’ life has been a non-stop circus. From nearly getting kicked out of Disney World after her youngest tackled Cinderella, to being on a first name basis with her family orthopedic surgeon, Louis’ children and home life are a constant source of material – enough to fill her new book, The Mommy Diaries: How I’m Surviving Parenting without Killing Anyone (May 13, 2012).
The Mommy Diaries chronicles the family life of an everyday mom trying to navigate the waters of parenting. Louis walks readers through her most embarrassing moments and some of her more bizarre emergency room trips. She also sheds light on the husband/wife dynamic and the twists and turns a marriage takes when kids (and household projects) enter the mix.
With chapters such as “You Shoved WHAT up Your Nose?” and “Why Some Animals Eat Their Young”, Louis shares her parenting lessons with a generous dose of humor. Through it all, she also shares her source of strength and the means by which she not only perseveres through her day, but also finds the joy amidst the chaos: God.
“Parenthood is an intense roller coaster filled with constant chaos, the pitter-patter of adorable, yet never-ceasing little feet, broken dishes, and emotional ups and downs – from the kids and the parents! And all this in addition to the regular duties, chores, and responsibilities of a normal American household,” says Louis. “Sometimes laughter is needed to survive the more challenging days!”
