First, if you have never read any of the Sweet Potato Queens' books
Right now.
When you're finished with all those, the read the newest one, The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit.
The Sweet Potato Queens are not Alpha Moms and the motto is "laugh through the hard stuff".
If I were a real writer (you know, "writer" with a capital "W") and not some hack with a blog, I'd want to be Jill Conner Brown.
She is absolutely hilarious, and, oh so right about so many things, and, captures life in the American South superbly, but, everyone can relate, too.
In The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profitis a "hilarious (though not scientifically tested) wink at the time-honored mysteries of parenting, for anybody who has ever had a kid or has ever known one, knows that the experience is neither fun nor profitable - so, you might as well laugh!".
I read it in one sitting. and, Browne covers topics from pregnancy, traveling with kids, and, potty training, to the Toothfairy, and, as with her other books, she does not disappoint.
