About Laurie Sontag and Manic Motherhood

I used to be a functioning adult with a brain. Then my son, Junior, came along. It took about 5 minutes in Junior's company for me to realize I knew nothing about kids. So, numerous backward diaper changes, parenting mistakes, and several mental breakdowns later, I began to write about all the calamities in my life in a weekly column. These are my stories. The names have been changed to protect the innocent and the manic mommies in all of us.

Does Laurie Have a Blog?

Of course, I just don't update it daily. Oh, please. I'm busy relearning 7th grade math and snooping on my kid's MySpace page. But I update every Thursday with a full blolumn and sometimes more often with snippets of frustration, humor and things I find ridiculous or just plain weird. Oh, and sometimes I let you know what I burned for dinner. 

Where Else Can I Find Manic Motherhood?

Since 2000, I have been a weekly columnist for the Gilroy Dispatch, the Hollister Freelance and the Morgan Hill Times. 

What About Books?

Laurie's work has appeared in Chicken Soup for The Soul Celebrates Mothers, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Resolutions, as well as Misadventures of Moms and Disasters of Dads. All are available at Amazon.com. I think.
