Andrea Keeney is a writer, blogger, mother, and wife. She is the creator of the blog, Parenting with Parents as well as the author of the book, Moms: As Elite as the C.I.A….Well Almost. When she isn’t pursuing her dreams of writing she is taking care of her three small children.
Attention! There is an elite group of women walking freely among the average citizens of the world. These freakishly instinctive beings are capable of physical, mental, and emotional acts of greatness. They tend to appear irritated, exhausted, and are almost always bombarded by very tiny renegades who are whining and/or yelling. These women come in many shapes and sizes, however they all respond to a single name: Mom. If you know one of these women, if you are one of these women, or if you are going to be one of these women, you need this book!

Here are the Featured posts from last week!
Danielle chose We Wear Short Shorts … #WomensLives from Barbie Bieber and Beyond. “I chose this post because, as a step-mother to a teen-aged girl, I have been given an new perspective on many young adult issues. One of the most prevalent ones is harassment. Many people think that ‘well that girl is asking for trouble, just look at the way she dresses.’ But the problem is much more complicated. This post gives the other side to the story that more people need to hear.”

Money will be a bit tighter, but I believe with a budget we’ll be just fine. This post gives a great, quick tutorial on how to create a budget worksheet.”
Kelly also chose this post. “After my husband recently changed jobs, I really need to overhaul our budget. Zach has some great tips about why and how to create a budget; and the free downloadable spreadsheet is very user friendly. It’s really handy how it can be edited to suit individual needs and I love how it includes a column for an emergency fund, in addition to savings! What a great idea.”
Lisa chose Strawberry Milkshake Cupcakes from Living Better Together. “I chose these Strawberry Milkshake Cupcakes simply on looks alone. They are gorgeous and mouth-watering delicious looking.

These tips from Seven Graces will really help me to work more effectively on my Facebook page and hopefully get some more likes!”

Kim chose 6 Sanity Saving Tips for Busy Moms from The Sunny Patch. “I am ALWAYS trying to find the “best” way to enable me to do it all – and usually failing miserably. Like Tonia says, sometimes there are things that you just need to let slide off the burner completely in order to take care of the items that are the most important. I absolutely love the analogy “eat the frog” because that’s one of my pitfalls – putting off those tasks that HAVE to be done in favor of doing something that I WANT to do (housework v. blogging). If I “eat the frog” and just get the nasty over with – then I have more time to spend on doing what I love to do. It’s a concept that I preach to my two boys on a daily basis, yet I have trouble doing it myself. This was my most favorite post this week and “Eat the Frog!” is now taped to my computer monitor as a reminder to get the yuck done and out the way so I can do the fun stuff!”
