NEW IDEAS FROM JULIET:

Juliet Johnson never meant for motherhood to be her thing. She just had three kids and surrendered. Now she wants to do a television (or cable) series about mothers around the world called EARTH MOTHER. See her first presentation of the idea by clicking Earth Mother above.

And then there's her book, which is what most of us come here for:

SOMEBODY'S ALWAYS HUNGRY by Juliet Johnson. Available in hard cover and paperback.

"Johnson doesn’t spend a lot of time feeling bad about the yelling or the kids sleeping in the grownup bed for years on end or the detoured career. She’s not shopping for a revamp of her body, lifestyle, or parenting skills. She’s not chronicling motherhood in order to amuse, send up, analyze, or offer tips. Her aim is higher, deeper, truer....Every page is a vivid, funny, poignant scene of power struggles, lost teeth, dead pets, the high drama and humdrum grind of life with kids. Yet there’s more. Cleverly disguised as a collection of anecdotes by a harried new mother who might be just like someone you know, the book is a lighthearted but gutsy meditation on time, mortality and surrender." Julia Gibson, Imperfect Parent, Mother's Day, 2008 edition.

You're going to feel every moment of being a mother ... you're also going to be making sandwiches until you die.

This was supposed to be a website for a new book about parenting. However, like the collection of stories that is the book, this site has become more: a big, comfy home for moms ... a place to get lost in and then realize that you are not alone.

We hope you stay long enough to read a few stories and like them enough to purchase a book or two. But we wouldn't complain if you got lost in our house and just moved in. Search around enough and you will find six stories from Somebody's Always Hungry and other little treasures as well.

The book is funny, touching and reassuringly familiar. Early readers are responding with excitement. Moms are telling us that it helps them feel not so all alone.

Judge for yourself.

Stay in your pajamas, have some tea and peek in all our closets on this website.

We hope you'll like the taste of SOMEBODY'S ALWAYS HUNGRY.
