What I most appreciate in Coty’s approach is her bracing honesty. There’s no vision of perfect domestic bliss presented here for us to attain, just encouragement to keep seeking the Lord on our continuing journey and a sister to laugh and cry along with. By book’s end I felt like I knew Coty to a certain extent. After all, in her own words, she’s baring it all:
"Hey, I even hit a few girls-only, whisper-behind-the-hand subjects like excessive boobage during pregnancy, fashion faux pas, menopause and – gasp! – bodily functions. (Ain’t nothin’ sacred after poppin’ out a baby in front of a dozen pubescent boys in lab oats!)"So, be prepared. In truth, Coty won’t gross you out too much, unless you find descriptions of a cat with an exploding abscess unpalatable, or admissions of cellulite horrifying. She draws upon the everyday misadventures of mothering to concoct humorous teaching anecdotes from her own life, but doesn’t delve into the truly disgusting.
Like its chocolaty namesake, Mom Needs Chocolate makes a great gift for moms young and old in need of a bit more lift in their lives. While reading it the names of other mothers I could bless with this resource came to mind. I’m looking forward to sharing my chocolate with others.

WARNING TO CHRISTIANS:
Although this woman is NOT, her husband is a hyperpreterist. A hyperpreterist claims 3 main things:
1. Jesus came back once & for all in AD70
2. The resurrection of the believers happened in AD70
3. The judgment of the wicked & righteous happened in AD70
This is relevant because this woman is appealing to Christians & her husbands views may influence her.
