My Laundry Museum & Other Messy Gifts of Motherhood is a collection of humorous, touching, and inspiring stories of motherhood originating from author Jill Fales' column Mom's Voice in the Newport Beach Independent.
As a mother of 4 myself I found that I identified with 99% of the stories that make up this unique and delightful book. Recently my oldest son started high school and reading the story The First Day of School was like reading a page from my own diary. It brought tears to my eyes as the emotions I experienced on my son's first day flooded back. It brought me comfort to realize so many other moms share in my feelings of wanting to hold on to that little boy or girl, but knowing it's best to let go and allow them to experience what life has to offer.
A Farewell to Roller Coasters made me laugh even more so as two years ago I was at Knott's Berry Farm and on the exact same roller coaster with my boys who thought I was so much braver than dad for accompanying them. After the ride I too realized my roller coaster days were coming to an end and that dad had the right idea when he choose to be a spectator.
I found inspiration in A Birthday Party Trumps Everything as Jill Fales' son looks beyond a boy's disability and sees a friend. The story proves that all it takes is one person to make a difference.
My Laundry Museum & Other Messy Gifts of Motherhood by Jill Fales is filled with stories like the ones I shared above. Her stories bring joy and celebrate the, never dull but always rewarding, life of a mother.
I recommend picking up a copy and sharing it with all the moms you know.
