I can't wait to read your book! I resonate with your work in so many ways. I'm sure that this book will feel like a friend sitting with you over a warm cup of tea. 💙

I placed my library hold! Can't wait to read it! I've got one kid in college and one with a foot out the door.

I'm so excited! I pre-ordered a while ago and am looking forward to reading your book soon - right after my one and only kiddo graduates in about a month (you have impeccable timing).

I love the idea another commenter had about making a library purchase request, I've also made the request to my library.

I'm also *really* looking forward to the next phase of the podcast. I have listened off and on since the inception (and was a blog reader before that) and was devastated until I finally got to the part where you and Sarah announced that it wasn't the end, but simply a shift. Perfect for this mom who is now moving into a new phase! Thank you for being a virtual parenting support person for me, I'm so glad you're still going to be here in your many ways :)

My birthday and Mothers Day coincide with the book launch. I pre-ordered months ago and can't wait for my "present to me" to arrive! I discovered The Mom Hour during covid when I first discovered podcasts and you and Sarah became two of my favourite people to have in my ears. I can't wait for your next endeavour.

I can’t wait to read this! I love to support small bookstores. Any chance you have autographed copies I can order through your bookshop?

Great idea. Our bookstore doesn’t do direct shipping but you can order via Bookshop.org. Maybe i’ll do signed bookplates as a preorder gift…stay tuned!

Sounds good! I will order from a local book store and would love a signed bookplate :)

Perfect! And I should have mentioned this before, but I have the Bookshop.org link at http://bit.ly/lastparentingbook set up to credit our bookstore. (Bookshop is the way a lot of indies do internet/mail order sales!)

I very much hope to make it out that way - maybe in the fall? I plan on stretching out the promo season so as to not lose my mind :)
