A collection of humorous essays about how we let our expectations steal the joy out of Christmas and other holidays and special events
It’s the American way to create a celebration for everything, then turn it into a chore or worse, a nightmare. ’Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate is a collection of humorous essays about how we let our expectations steal the joy out of Christmas and other holidays and special events. It’s understanding for those who think Christmas form letters can be honest—or they can be interesting. And it’s empathy for anyone who’s ever gotten poison ivy during Nude Recreation Week or eaten all their Halloween candy and had to hand out instant oatmeal packets to their trick-or-treaters. | |  | | Alexa’s a Spy and Other Things to Be Ticked off About
Humorous essays on some of the issues we have to put up with living in the modern world, from clutter and noise to technology overload and uncivil discourse.
Part comical call to arms and part tongue-in-cheek tirade., a good-natured rant about what brings us down during the day and keeps us up through the night, a collection of humorous essays that laugh in the face of the peace thieves and the joy robbers; from the spammers and scammers to the people trashing our planet and the ones trashing our homes. (Who, us?) Too much stuff, too much noise, too much technology. Not enough patience, not enough kindness, not enough…chocolate? | |  | | I Didn't Know You Could Make Birthday Cake from Scratch: Parenting Blunders
The little book of big parenting boo-boos.
The book for every parent who ever stuck a candle in a peanut butter sandwich and called it birthday cake. Or ever tried to crowd source her child’s braces. Or ever told her child to shut up and be quiet so she could finish reading a parenting magazine. | |  | | I Used to Think I Was Not that Bad and Then I Got to Know Me Better
The book for people who read self-improvement books and never get any better. Also for the people who sincerely wish they would.
A humorous look at the kind of issues one tries to fix by reading self-help books—anxiety, bad habits, poor communications, poor fitness, lack of prosperity, struggling relationships—and how the author and maybe you are failing to fix them. |
