What Audiences Are Saying About the Show

I got to see the show yesterday afternoon in Richardson, Texas and came home feeling both vindication but also enlightened. The very last line about wanting to be able to say that "these were the happiest days of my life" will not leave me. I'm going to try and apply this perspective to my life now, which is raising three little girls 6 and under. Thank you so much. I wish alll women who have kids or plan on having kids could see this.
— Reviewer: Anne Pfeiffer

Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks for bringing to life so much of what I have been experiencing for the past 7 years, starting with the "birth plan!" I felt like you have been watching me with hidden cameras and stealing my thoughts! It was the combination of "Perfect Madness" the book meets "The Far Side." The insights of Amy weere absolutely spot on! It was such a treat to be able to laugh at ourselves and the ridiculous corners of the world we have painted ourselves into. Thanks for bringing this to Phoenix. PLEASE COME BACK SOON!

Juicy Juice on the Brain

I like Juicy Juice, I really do. Their 100% berry juice is a mainstay in our home. So why I am so bothered by their newest taste sensation, Juicy Juice Brain Development?

"Her brain will triple in size by the time she's two!" their ads crow. So, if you really love your child, she should be drinking Apple Brain Development or Grape Brain Development, both enhanced with DHA, "an essential building block for brain development."

Fergus Facts Easter Edition

We went to an Easter egg hunt this morning and the three kiddoes each came home with about 75 plastic eggs, stuffed with corn syrupy goodness. After a few minutes of letting them gorge themselves:
