Kat Ryan has been called the ‘perfect mom’ by many when she goes out with her three daughters. She seems to be the envy of other moms who can’t quite seem to get it together. In this memoir that recounts her three births and raising three girls through their toddler years, Kat lets us in on the craziness, embarrassment, joy and love that can come from motherhood.
With a whole chapter dedicated to poop, yes just to poop alone, this book offers a realistic view into what a new mother might be in for. With a stress on the fact that everyone’s situation is different and nothing you do for your child is wrong for you, Kat gives us her down to earth insights on her forays into motherhood. Starting from the birthing process, this book is not for someone of the faint of heart. Kat had three very different birthing experiences that she tells us about along with three very different experiences with her newborns. Some of the best advice in the book is the funniest, what went wrong, poop on the walls, milk squirting everywhere, toddlers that simply refuse to be potty trained until their ready, the magic words to stop sibling rivalry and potential trips to the emergency room. Overall, this book is perfect for any mom or mom to be that needs to know that nobody is perfect, but whatever you decide for you and your child will be perfect.

I loved this book! Such a quick, fun read and so very on point. Kat compartmentalizes every aspect of being a mommy in such a great way that there are laughs, head nods, been-theres, and, yes, even a little bit of tears. I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud. The Poo and Breastfeeding Chapters...awesomeness! I, myself, have three daughters, and my experiences were so similar to Kat's, it was a little creepy. Honestly, it was like Kat had hijacked my every "mom thought" I ever had and wrote about it. You know those books "What to Expect...", add Confessions Of The Perfect Mom: Baby and Toddler Years to your MUST-READ list. If you're not a mom yet, you will thank me. If you are a mom, you will say, "Thank goodness. It's not just me."
