Raves and Reviews
"In this era of Tiger Mothers, attachment parenting, the mommy track and The Three-Martini Playdate, Cronin and Cornell’s collaboration will strike a nerve with moms looking for a laugh and a bit of validation—if only they can find the time to read it!" - KIRKUS, April 15, 2011
"We admit it: the new laugh-out-loud book M.O.M. (Mom Operating Manual), by Doreen Cronin and Laura Cornell, appeals to us as moms as much as it will to our kids. The 56-page text is packed with humorous tidbits about what truly makes us tick (exercise gives us a legitimate reason to put on our favorite sweatpants) as well as quirky insights (“… despite their size, moms can sleep on as little as three inches of bed. Science has no explanation for this”). Don’t be surprised if you find yourself chuckling over the pages long after your kids have fallen asleep." -- Disney Family Fun Magazine
