Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Kansas City, KS

See, I took over this here Being Savvy KC blog from one Rita Arens. The same woman who spent a couple of years badgering several of her favorite mommybloggers into letting her have access to their blog archives and compile and edit a book. Rita probably didn't overly plug her book here much, because she's all classy and stuff, but I have no problem quoting directly from it and telling you that Yes, it is one of the best parenting books I've read. Not just this year, I mean ever.

So, since we're talking parenting books and so forth, I give you some of my favorite quotes from my friend's book, Sleep is for the Weak: The best of the mommybloggers including Amalah, Finslippy, Fussy, Woulda Coulda Shoulda, Mom-101 and more!.

"Baby blues, my ass."
Izzymom Things They Never Told Me

"...there are soggy burpcloths in my Coach bag! THAT"S A LIFE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, I TELL YOU."
Amalah Here, I wrote down some long-winded pontifications on mommyhood for you

"Like the saleswoman who cast a narrowed eye on Thalia then remarked, 'Wow, she's a skinny one. Don't you feed her?' Well my goodness, if it weren't for you reminding me, I might have gone on not feeding her for another three weeks."
Mom-101 I think I'm in the wrong village.

Y'all, I have to stop there. There's so, so many more wonderful quotes, and yet if I don't stop laughing and go stop my children from beating each other, I'll have a bigger problem soon. Buy it. Read it. Feel better.

Trust me. I'm a mom.
