Sleep Is For The Weak

Heather Says:

When I got the opportunity to read and review Sleep is for the Weak through the Parents Bloggers Network, I was excited. And then the book showed up on my doorstep and I thought, “Why the hell did I agree to review a book? Now I have to READ!”

Luckily, I remembered that the book is a collection of blog entries – perfect for my short attention span. And the best part is all the blog entries have been pre-screened for quality. Awesome.

The first thing I thought was how impressive it is to have an actual published book of mommy bloggers. I hate that, to some, the term “mommy blogger” has a negative connotation.

My favorite part about this book is that you don’t have to be a blogger to enjoy it. Any mother or mom-to-be can relate to the trials of potty-training, juggling the 800 things we have to accomplish in our waking hours, and the hopes and dreams we have for our children. These women bloggers are just like the rest of us – they just express themselves through the written word in a most elegant or hilarious way.

The fact that it’s made up of bite-size essays is a plus – as a mom, there were times I knew I’d have only about two minutes to read my book, so I’d skip ahead to a short post. That’s a huge plus for a busy mom like me. Or a mom with a short attention, which I also happen to be. And SHUT UP MEGHAN I know you’re reading this and muttering, “or a lazy mom.” I’ll GET to that other book review, Pushy.
