\"\"Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a book put together by Amber Dusick. The idea for this book came about when she was looking for a way to vent about her\u00a0frustrations and joys\u00a0of being a parent. As a result, her blog, Illustrated with Crappy Pictures<\/em><\/a>, was born and morphed to include anything and everything that she needed to vent about in her life, not just parenting. It became so popular that she decided to turn her blog posts into a book. She just came out with one about marriage as well. Go Amber!<\/p>\n

Dusick describes her family throughout her book as Crappy Baby, Crappy Boy, and Crappy Husband, though she stresses multiple times that none of them are in fact crappy, JUST her drawings!\u00a0Since she wanted to tell people about the things that happened in her day-to-day life, she figured drawing crappy pictures, the only kind that she can draw,\u00a0to go along with her stories\u00a0would help illustrate her frustration.<\/p>\n

Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is broken up into ten different chapters, each detailing one major part of parenting that Dusick and other parents can completely relate to, from the difference in your life before and after kids, how to deal with sickness in your house, remembering the good stuff about being a parent, and also what she calls the “50 Crappy Laws of Parenting”.<\/p>\n

Follow Dusick as she\u00a0regales you with stories about how you just can’t get your kids to BE QUIET while on a road trip especially on a plane, how family dinner time is never actually family dinner since that would require everyone to sit at the table at the same time, and just how much you should treasure sleep because babies, for some reason, do not sleep at all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
