From the humorist behind the popular Crash Test Parents blog comes this collection of cleanly hilarious, irreverently honest, and undeniably charming essays that humanize the challenges, frustrations and rare victories of every parent-unless you're a perfect one, in which case this book is not for you. Rachel shapes stories around the everyday happenings of parents-trying to leave the house with kids, eating at the same table as kids, wrestling plungers (and other undesirable "toys") from the hands of kids.
She opens a window into the trenches of parenthood, where she says you'll feel like Cinderella without the fancy ballgown, dream of sleeping like Rip Van Winkle, and aspire to master that Pinterest perfect party-which won't happen, by the way, because kids live to thwart their parents at every turn. Also, you'll be so glad you're here. The essays collected in Parenthood: Has Anyone Seen My Sanity? are not only deeply introspective and encouraging but also wildly hilarious and entertaining.
Rachel pulls her readers along for the ride of a lifetime (parenthood excepted, of course) and shows parents how they, too, can laugh at themselves, their situations and the antics of their children-laugh their way right into hope. Parenthood: Has Anyone Seen My Sanity? includes essays like:Things You Don't Consider Before Becoming a ParentSleep While the Baby Sleeps and Other Unhelpful AdviceNo, I'm Not Still Pregnant.
This is Just My After-Belly. Do I Ever Feel Like Giving Up? Every Other Minute. That Frightening Time When Your Kid is Learning AutonomyWhat Happens When a Kid Environmentalist is on Trash DutyHow to Talk Like a 3-Year-OldWhy Traveling With Kids is Maybe the Worst Idea EverAin't Nobody Got Time for a Pinterest Perfect PartyParenting is Like Living In an Insane Asylumand many more. Called the Erma Bombeck of a new generation of parents, Rachel's first full-length humor book in the Crash Test Parents series is sure to set parents laughing in recognition and relief that they are not the slightest bit alone. Rachel is the mother of six young boys who daily give her inspiration for comical essays.
Her essays can often be seen on Huff Post Parents, Scary Mommy and Babble. She lives with all her males in San Antonio, Texas, where she faithfully writes 5, 000 words a day, five days a week.

Biographie de Rachel Toalson

The themes of identity and love amid difficult circumstances often show up in Rachel Toalson's writing, and no matter their age, gender or genre preferences, readers around the world enjoy and anticipate her hopeful message of bravery, transparency and the the human capacity to change the world, at least a small part of it. She is the author of the middle grade fantasy series, Fairendale, (under the pen name R.
L. Toalson) about a tyrant king (who may not be quite as bad as he seems) pursuing a group of magical children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another; the nonfiction Family on Purpose series, which chronicles her family's daily journey into values; and This is How You Know, a book of poetry on the daily ordinary that becomes extraordinary when filtered through the lens of poetry.
Rachel Toalson's own journey into writing is a long and straight-line one. She began penning stories in small-town Texas on white computer paper back when she was a kid. When she got to college, she rose through the ranks of her college newspaper, this time telling true stories. That's where her writing career began-sitting with sources, gathering information, soaking up the stories of everyday life.
In 2015, Rachel ended her newspaper days as a managing editor, with multiple writing accolades accrued over the years, so that she could become a full-time author of both fiction and nonfiction. In her fiction she enjoys crafting tales of quirky characters who are more than what they seem on first glance. In her nonfiction, she enjoys writing about real life, real love, real struggles and the humor underlining much of our human experience.
She writes middle grade fiction and picture books under the pen name R. L. Toalson; poetry, memoir and humor under Rachel Toalson; and narrative nonfiction stories and literature under Rachel L. Toalson. Rachel is a regular contributor to Huff Post Parents, Scary Mommy, a Bundle of THYME magazine and many other publications across the world. Born in Houston, Rachel lives with her husband and six boys in San Antonio, Texas, where she faithfully writes 5, 000 words a day, five days a week.
