I am so excited to announce that Skyhorse Publishing has signed my second book for release in early 2019! It's called, Mama, Mama, Only Mama! An Irreverent Guide for the Newly Single Parent—from Divorce and Dating to Cooking and Crafting, All While Raising the Kids and Maintaining Your Own Sanity (Sort Of). 

 

And I mean that "sort of."

 

 

Book description: 

 

Being a single mother means relaxing your cleanliness standards. A lot.

 

Being a single mother means missing your kids like crazy when your ex has them, only to want to give them back ten minutes after they come home.

 

Being a single mother means accepting sleep deprivation as a natural state.

 

Being a single mother means hauling a toddler, a baby and a diaper bag while wearing high heels and a cute skirt, because you never know when you’ll meet someone.

 

Being a single mother means finding out you are stronger than you ever knew was possible.

 

Since birth, Lara Lillibridge’s children wanted, “Mama, Mama, Only Mama!” whether they were tired or just woke up from a nap—whether they were starving or had just finished a bowl of goldfish crackers. Over ten years later, not much has changed. 

 

Written in the style of a diary with blogs, articles and recipes tucked between the pages, Mama, Mama, Only Mama follows Lara Lillibridge and her two children, Big Pants and Tiny Pants, out of divorce, through six years of single parenting, and into the family blender with a quasi-stepfather called SigO. Complete with highly useful recipes such as congealed s’more stew, recycled snack candy bars, instant oatmeal cookies and a fine chicken casserole that didn’t pass Tiny Pants’ “lick test,” Lillibridge grows into her role as mother, finds true love, and comes to terms with her ex-husband.
