TMI Mom: Oversharing My Life- A Book Review


Have you ever "met" someone yet not really "met" them and feel like you know them? In this great world we call the blogosphere I have a friend that I know just like that. I met my friend Heather last summer when she submitted a guest post for The RHOK where I write as ♥Mrs. Hart♥. I didn't know then that I was in the presence of such a fantastic writer. A writer who really knows how to put a pen and paper to all life's experiences and isn't afraid to share. Someone that I can learn from. I have since learned that we know mutual people and places. Small world. But, that is what I love about the great state we live in. Oklahoma.

Heather released her book TMI MOM: Oversharing My Life on April 1st. Funny, huh? April Fools Day.  Totally fits her personality.

Oversharing My Life is a collection of humorous essays about parenting, marriage and life in general. It’s the first in a series of four books which, Heather Davis overshares and gives her readers way too much information about her life. Information that her mother is probably even shaking her head over.

Would you ever share openly about things you have done on the toilet? Admit that you are obsessed with the stocking of toilet paper? Share that your husband brought you home a copy of Playboy? Tell everyone that you pee in the shower to save time? Oh, these are only a few of the overshared examples in the book. If you want the full story and even juicier stories than these you will have to get your own copy at Amazon or maybe just follow Heather at the sites below and catch her at a book signing.

Makes a blogger/writer almost wonder if she shares enough or too much. Hmmm....

Here is the review that I wrote on Amazon and Goodreads:

"WARNING!!! If you read in your marital bed and plan to stay in that marital bed, do NOT read this book in that bed. I laughed/giggled so hard page after page that it interrupted my sleeping husband. He told me that his pillow was not for wiping tears of laughter and if I wanted to giggle to go to another room. The laughter wasn't just at the author, but with the author. Stories and adventures that all of mothers and wives can relate too. Excellent read!!!"

About the Author:
Heather Davis has a finely-tuned snarky side which she uses on a daily basis to save her sanity. She is married to a very patient husband, and together they have two very entertaining daughters. Oversharing My Life, a collection of humorous essays, is her debut book. She and her family live in Bartlesville, OK, where she chronicles her life at Minivan-Momma.com.

Please be sure to follow Heather's adventures on Facebook and Twitter and of course her blog Minivan-Momma.com!

It is. Things that some of us have done and never would tell, have thought to do, or have never even imagined. You have to read if you get a chance.

This sounds like a good book. It reminds me of a friend of my mother's. She never had a though enter her head that she didn't share. I will have to look for this book.
