Since the dawn of time, moms throughout the world are united in their desire for one thing: five whole minutes alone in the bathroom preferably without the fingers wriggling underneath the door or wails of "Mammmmmmaaaaaa" that begin as soon as the latch clicks.
Co-Author of "Peeing in Peace: Tales and Tips for Type A Moms," Yvette Manessis Corporon, understands this all too well! Yvette will be chatting live Tuesday, May 13th at 6 pm Pacific / 9 pm. Eastern.
Yvette will be giving away five copies of her book during this chat.

Push: One Man's 40-Week Stumble into Fatherhood by Jeff Ruby: A few years back, my wife got pregnant. When I wasn't working my day job at Chicago magazine, I kept a journal to chronicle the whole experience. Now, much to the wife's dismay, I have released the journal here; not a single dumb argument or disturbing bodily malfunction has been omitted. Get started by Riding the Blue Line.
Mother Muse by Leslie Klipsch: I am a mother, writer, high-school teacher, and stay-at-home mother of two. Since becoming a mother, I've enjoyed the new lens through which I look at the world. Motherhood is an incredible muse! I hope you enjoy reading this tiny insight on parenting and life from the trenches of parenthood, "The Virtue."
