“Out of all the parenting books available to moms these days, The White Trash Mom Handbook stands out. More than just a fierce, strong, and hilarious punch back at the competitive moms - called out as Muffia - Michelle's book serves as a guide for moms with children of all ages to band together and revel in our imperfections. Plus, it goes well with a nice Merlot."- Stefanie Wilder Taylor, author of Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay and Naptime is the New Happy Hour

"I love it!  The immediate comparison is to my favorite pregnancy book, 'The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy'. I think every mom sending her child to kindergarten needs to read this book before Labor Day. -Amie Adams - DC Metro Moms, Mamma Loves and Kirtsy

 "If you like your kid's peanut butter sandwich fried and then dunked in Fluff or made from specially picked organic peanuts crushed individually by fully unionized workers, you'll love "White Trash Mom" by Michelle Lamar. I aspire to the life lessons here, especially how to fake it for the bake sale."

-Kara Swisher - Co-Executive Editor of All Things D, Author

"Michelle totally strips the veneer off the ideal mom and tells you to knock it off already if you are spending time and energy trying to be perfect, or even good enough. Chances are, you're aces."
-Melinda Roberts - The Mommy Blog, Chief Blogger for MomBlog Network, Author


“Take it from a Yellow Trash Dad that The White Trash Mom Handbook is a book that you should read. Actually, you don’t have to read it. Just buy it. Michelle will be just as happy either way--as would I be.”

 Guy Kawasaki-Founder of Alltop, Co-Founder Garage Technology Ventures and Author

“Buy it for your sister-in-law who gives you the stink-eye every time you give your kid an unthawed eggo.  Buy it for the woman in your mommy-and-me group who makes you feel like crap for not making your 3 year old go to Violin/French/Juggling lessons and send another copy to the bitchy chick down the street.  The White Trash Mom Handbook is not about money or status or education. It's about giving yourself the freedom to be yourself, and that is a good thing indeed.”
Jenny Lawson, Houston Chronicle and The Bloggess

"This handbook is a LIFESAVER.  Now I can Fake It For the Bake Sale and Blend IN at the PTA meetings.  Michelle Lamar's irreverent handbook is a must read for all mothers. It's a reminder that no mom is perfect and offers tips and tricks even the trashiest Mom can use to help navigate the mess of love that is parenthood."
Erin Kotecki Vest-Queen of Spain Blog, Huffington Post

"You don't need to have a toilet on your lawn to appreciate the wisdom of The White Trash Mom Handbook. Everyone who has a school age child can benefit from her practical tips on school volunteerism, handily disarming the "Muffia," parenting on a budget, and just plain surviving until your kids leave the nest. So leave that toilet indoors where it belongs, and go out and get this book."

“Every mother out there who doesn’t have a full-time nanny, chef, chauffeur, agent, personal trainer and masseuse should read this book! TheWhiteTrashMomHandbook  is mommy self-help at its finest and funniest.”
Lash Fary-Celebrity Gift Guru and Author

Whether you need help faking a tray of “homemade” brownies for the bake sale, or coming up with outrageous lies to tell your children for their own good, the White Trash Mom Handbook is a veritable encyclopedia of common sense wisdom. In a world that seems to continually reward style over substance, The White Trash Mom Handbook is a modern-day 95 Theses nailed to the pre-school door.”

"Blogebrity, the "velvet rope" of the blog world has deemed White Trash Mom worthy of our “B” list.  The book is funny, even if you're not a parent."
