Produktbeschreibung

"Elizabeth's writing style is like Tina Fey is channeling Dear Abby" Jenna McCarthy, bestselling author

Elizabeth Lyons had a great life raising 5 beautiful kids (who tended to lie down on the floor of Target when things weren't going their way). She was blessed with great friends (who she had little time to see). She had a well-paying job (that she enjoyed just enough to make it palatable).

And then one day while driving down the highway, Happy by Leona Lewis came on the radio.

While she hadn't ever fully paid attention to the lyrics, one line in particular forced her to pull over.

I could stand by the side. Watch this life pass me by. So unhappy. But safe as could be.

In that moment, getting real honest with herself and developing customized rules to ensure that she began living her best life in order to show her kids by example how to live theirs became non-negotiable.

Do you ever feel like... - You need an extra hour in the day. Possibly four. - You fall into bed exhausted most nights yet unsure what you actually did all day (because it definitely wasn't any of the 367 things on your to-do list). - You miss yourself (even though you're with yourself all day long)!

If so, this book was written just for you. You Cannot Be Serious: and 32 Other Rules That Sustain a (Mostly) Balanced Mom is a roadmap to shift your perspective and put you back in the driver's seat in order to bring consistent joy back into your amazing life.

The alternative is continuing to live in comfortable mediocrity, and that life isn't for you!

READING YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS WILL: - Untie your "nots" so that you can begin taking intentional steps toward the life of your dreams - Eliminate the two words that are unconsciously sabotaging your growth - Equip you to view chaos as an opportunity - Reframe your focus each time you begin comparing yourself to other moms who seem to "have it all" - Empower you to trust your intuition...the first time! - Grant you permission to take care of yourself in a way that ensures you have full control over your own happiness at all times.

Autorenporträt

These days, Elizabeth is many things: mom of 5 (including a set of twins), friend, lunch maker, chauffeur, hostage negotiator, author, on-call plumber, tile layer, guitar student, window washer, product designer, and on and on. She is the author of Holy Sh*t...I'm Having Twins! The Definitive Guide to Remaining Calm When You're Twice as Freaked Out and Ready or Not...There We Go: The REAL Experts' Guide to the Toddler Years with Twins---humorous, solutions-packed, tell-it-like-it-is guides to the first year and toddler years with twins. She is also the author of You Cannot Be Serious: and 32 Other Rules that Sustain a (Mostly) Balanced Mom. She demands the right to do things her way--a way that often defies even the most creative imaginations--and she strives to inspire others to do things their way (once they figure out what their way is!). Elizabeth lives in Arizona with her five kids, two dogs, two fish, four barely surviving organic gardens, and whatever (or whomever) else has taken up residence with them in the last five minutes. Please feel free to contact Elizabeth at author (at) elizabethlyons (dot) com. She would love to hear from you, and she prides herself on punctual responses. But if you send an e-mail between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., you'll have to wait a bit because those are the hours during which she either thinks about or actually engages in sleep, the latter of which is completely non-negotiable.
