Well, duh. Had I not been previously so engaged with all of my “Mama Drama” this summer (see last post) it would have occurred to me to send this post earlier in the week. Nothin’ like waiting till the last minute, huh?
ANYWHOO, I have an awesome gift idea for FATHER’S DAY!! My wonderful hubby is an excellent writer and a phenomenal father. Combine those 2 traits and you get one hilariously funny book that makes a great gift not only for new daddies, but also new mommies as well (yep..missed that holiday altogether).
Cavemen in Babyland: What New & Expecting Mommies Should Know About New Daddies (So That They Won’t Kill Them)
Here is a little blurb from the back cover:
New and expecting mommies STOP! Don’t beat new fathers to death with your breast pumps! Help has arrived. In Cavemen in Babyland, award-winning writer, public speaker, and professional marriage, parent, and family life coach Kindred Howard gives new and expecting moms the inside scoop on new dads. Compiled from his own “near-death” experiences, Kindred offers new mothers the insight they need to better understand why their significant others do and say all those mystifying things that drive women crazy. You’ll laugh, learn, and have more than your share of “Aha” moments as you read about what’s going through young fathers’ hearts and minds both before and after baby arrives.
Hilarious, right?? (And, I might add, as a father of FIVE he has had plenty of near-death experiences from which to draw inspiration. Just sayin.)
You can purchase a signed copy at www.cavemeninbabyland.com or find it on Amazon.com (And, as an added bonus if you live in and around the Atlanta area and purchase directly through the Cavemen site by midnight tonight, I will make sure the book is hand-delivered to you Saturday (tomorrow) in time for Father’s Day. As an apology for my tardiness in posting)
And, finally, Emerson’s good news~
We had a brief radio interview at 104.7 The Fish this week (http://www.thefishatlanta.com/). Emerson is a HUGE fan of Kevin & Taylor in the Morning so we brought her along in case they were in the studio. Well, guess who we ran into??
Emerson & Taylor!
Daddy & Emerson in studio with Dan Ratcliffe
In her brief 9 years of life, Emerson has travelled to Ethiopia with us to bring home her baby brothers and met J-Lo. But, the highlight of her life so far? Meeting Taylor. Taylor you rock! Thank you for being so kind to our little girl!
Happy Weekend, Everyone!
Ugh. Although, I have to say he has promised me that he will NEVER marry. Really. He wants to live with me forever. When I asked why he doesn’t want to get married, he said “because I don’t like kissies on the lips.” That’s what he associates marriage with, so I guess Kindred and I have done an ok job, huh?
