Ever been trapped at school with a Perfect Mom between you and picking up your kid? Have you had the lovely experience of being made to feel second-best because you’re a working mom? Are you fed up with moms who want to compete with you for the title of Best Mom Ever, but you never even knew there was a competition? The White Trash Mom Handbook is for you.
Don’t be thrown by the title. ‘White Trash’ is just code for “I’m not perfect and I don’t need to be” — you’re not going to need to install a broken toilet on your lawn.
Lamar and Wendland take you step-by-step through life-saving techniques to get you out of a jam if confronted by the “Muffia,” how to fake-bake when you don’t have time to lovingly create a Rice Krisy treat masterpiece for junior’s bake sale, and how to step away from the office when you have an unavoidable family commitment during working hours.
This is a great read to get you in gear before school starts up again, and you should consider getting a few extra copies to hand out to your posse too :)
The White Trash Mom Handbook: Embrace Your Inner Trailerpark, Forget Perfection, Resist Assimilation into the PTA, Stay Sane, and Keep Your Sense of Humor.

I was given one of these pedicure sets and they’re very sweet. Inexpensive at $11, they make a great gift for teachers, babysitters, or even just a ‘thanks for being my BFF’ gift for your girlfriend for no reason at all.
Grab a few for Christmas stockings, for gift exchanges, or for emergency gifting.

You don’t have to be a complete germaphobe to agree that airplane tray tables are pretty disgustingly dirty. Plus they’re so tiny that everything slides off the minute your back is turned. Both of these factors could lead to a pretty stressful flight with your kids, so next time consider the Trayblecloth.
It slips over the table and secures with elastic. Even when your tray is “in the upright and locked position” you still have access to the pockets. Flying with kids isn’t going to be a picnic, but this clever device aims to eliminate some of the stress.
