I wake up, bleary-eyed.
It’s been two years, six months and three hours since I last shaved my legs, and the llama-patterned knickers I’m wearing have seen better days.
We have seven minutes before the kids wake up, and my husband shuffles closer. ‘Ouch,’ he says, a piece of Lego sticking into his back.
Then, a light comes on in the landing. Small footsteps creep down the stairs. A little voice screams, ‘IS SOMEONE COMING TO MAKE BREAKFAST?!’
All hopes of having some ‘alone time’ is replaced with wondering if we’ve run out of Cheerios, thinking about the overflowing laundry, and remembering that I forgot to take out the recycling. Again.
Just a typical Monday morning for the Morton family…
Except today, when I go downstairs in my dressing gown, I find something. Something belonging to my husband. Something that definitely wasn’t mentioned in the wedding vows. And it’s either going to make us… or break us.

My Review: This was so funny that I just could not stop laughing. This one felt like my life in some parts and it was pretty perfect! It was a pretty easy to read and understand story which was great. The characters were wonderful and the life and chaos of this story will have you agreeing with pretty much everything. I will be grabbing this one in print ASAP because I will need to read this one again.
Readers totally love Kristen Bailey:

‘Not many books have the ability to make me belly-laugh and have teary eyes in the same proportions… A hilarious analysis of the daily grind of family life that every parent can identify with. Kristen Bailey perfectly captures the chaos, mess, emotions, tearing-your-hair-out moments and love that surround the demands of a modern family.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars
