Humor & Motherhood
Real life. Real chaos. Real funny.
Before she was writing about haunted houses and ghostly secrets, Kae Allen was writing about the wild world of motherhood—complete with sleep deprivation, snack negotiations, and the kind of laughter that only comes from surviving the impossible.
Her humor books capture the mess, magic, and mayhem of raising kids, being a wife, and finding your voice in the chaos. They’re short, heartfelt, and hilariously real—perfect for moms who need to know they’re not the only ones winging it..
Cookies For Dinner: The Tales of Two Moms In Their Quest To Survive Motherhood
By Pam Johnson-Bennet and Kae Allen
Pam and Kae are good friends but total opposites. Pam is a worrying germophobe and kae stands by the philosophy that everyone will eat a pound of dirt in their lifetime. In this collection of humorous essays, Pam and Kae come clean on motherhood…
- No one tells you that your breasts will be treated like a fast food take-out window or that a ravenous infant can create more suction than industrial-grade vacuum cleaners.
- I went into labor with my first child four months after my soon-to-be ex-husband moved out to live with his girfriend, six months after my 20th birthday and precisely the morning that I was having my house tended for ticks. Yes, ticks.
- Jumping off the cliff into potty training makes you realize that you didn’t truly appreciate the diaper years. Once you begin potty training, a toddler’s backside becomes a loaded gun, ready to launch its missile in whatever direction it happens to be pointing.
- No matter how we got on this ride, at some point we all end up standing on the checkout line at Walmart, totally unaware of the fact that we’re still wearing our pajama top.
Pam and Kae are living proof that even though every mother is different, we’re all on this roller coaster without a seatbelt. Scary? You bet, but it’s the ride of our lives.
