The Yummy Mummy

Have you ever wondered how to manage a successful children’s birthday party? What would you say if your little one wanted to know where babies came from? And just how do you get your kids to eat their greens?

Liz Fraser’s new Ultimate Family Survival Guide offers a range of witty tips and advice to the unsuspecting mother (and father!) on how to manage every day life as a parent.

The book is divided into manageable chapters offering help on a range of topics from bribing your child into wearing their coat to cutting the cost of family life. A true bible for the modern day ‘Yummy Mummy!

If stroppy kids, pants on the floor or run-ins with the in laws sounds like your family then resist the urge to run for the hills with a bottle of gin – just pick up a copy of this book because according to the author, Family shouldn’t be an F-word!

The ThinkBaby verdict

A humourous, straight-talking guide to the trials and tribulations of family life in the modern age.
Usefulness: 4/5
Readability: 5/5
Value: 4/5
