Ingredients: My kids tell me that I have expressions that I use all the time which they have dubbed "Mom-isms." They have always wanted me to write them down so I decided to include them in this book as a way for them to always have them at hand. The following list is probably, in no way, all of the "Mom-isms" I use but they are the ones I can come up with today!
