About this audiobook
Family life is an adventure in becoming real... Jennifer Grant’s girlhood dream of being the perfect mom withered quickly once she got a real taste of the messy, creative, sometimes hilarious, and often taxing process of raising a family. With MOMumental, she presents a warm, compassionate audio book filled with uncommon and amusing insights about being an intentional parent — and about realizing that family matters, no matter what yours is like.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Some nice thoughts but not really funny. Sometimes the stories were a bit rambling or disconnected.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful memoir of family life in all of its (sometimes) messy glory. It's definitely not your normal book about raising a child! It's not about being the perfect parent, its about being a REAL mom. I think that's whats so appealing about this book. The author uses her real experiences(and that of friends etc.) of being a parent, the good, bad, and the ugly. The stories that she uses to illustrate are pretty dog gone funny, and I think most parents have a story or two that's pretty similar from their journey through parenthood.;)Even though I'm not a Mom myself, I really liked this book. The heartfelt stories, and the realness of the author, made this a fun, interesting, and educational read.If you are a mom (or about to be), I would definitely recommend that you pick up this read. I'm sure you won't regret it!
