Notes from the Underwire: Adventures from My Awkward and Lovely Life

Angebote / Angebote:

Quinn Cummings was a child star in the late 1970s--an Oscar nominee for The Goodbye Girl and a series regular on Family--but instead of drugs and incarceration, she later opted for full-time motherhood and a side business (inspired by the aforementioned motherhood) selling baby carriers. Luckily for us, she's lost none of the wry, precocious, keenly observant attitude that first caught the public eye. In Notes from the Underwire, Cummings offers her sharply funny take on parenting, relationships, and simply trying to do the right thing: - "I live in Los Angeles, where it is now socially acceptable to carry a Starbucks cup anywhere, including a funeral." - "If you're at ballet class and your daughter suddenly blurts out, 'In three days we're cutting open a real heart and I can't wait!', the other mothers will stop offering to lend you ponytail-holders." - "Some might ask if it is worth a dollar to have your daughter crawl under the folding table in the laundry room with the Hand-Vac and get at the dust bunnies. Oh, yes, I say to you. Oh, yes." With wit, sarcasm, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation, Cummings offers a charming look into the often-chaotic, seldom-perfect world of an everyday mom. - Cummings' blog, the QC Report, has received accolades from publications like Newsweek and USA Today. - Cummings was a child star, nominated for an Oscar for her role in The Goodbye Girl in the late '70s. She is now a full-time mom.
