If you enjoy Mommy-Lit with an emphasis on wit over fluff, you will really enjoy this book. This is a collection of essays written by Lisa Belkin, columnist for the New York Times. Her writing style is very accessible and her thoughts are insightful. As a working mother I appreciated how she captured the competing desires to do it all, and at the same time, just get it done. The only down-side is that this book was written in 2002 and I wish it had more contemporary topics. However, if you want to continue following Lisa Belkin, she now writes a blog through the New York Times called "Motherlode." Check it out!
