Here’s the dealio: My dream is to be a published author. It’s something I’ve wanted since I was about 12-years-old.
I have completed two books. The first is a collection of non-fiction humor covering topics from discipline, and potty training to taking road trips with your family to the sacrifices mothers make for their kids. If you’ve read much of my blog you know I’m not trying to give anyone advice, but I am telling you the complete and honest truth of how I’ve done things AND it’s usually pretty entertaining. The sheer number of ways I’ve found in which to humiliate myself as a mother is staggering.
The second book is a collection of non-fiction essays I’ve written while trying to figure out how to do this Mom thing without losing my salvation (*litrally), and includes Scripture references that I use to *bursts into song* “help me hold on… to what we haaaaaad,” namely my sanity, before kids.
Also, both books have killer titles. But I’m not telling you what they are until they are printed on the covers, and that’ll happen eventually. Because my agent is dabomb.com. (Not a real website.)
I am represented by the most awesome literary agent around, Jenny Bent. I *litrally woke all three of my kids up from their naps (this is a mortal sin) when she offered me representation because I may or may not worship three of her clients. Who may or may not be listed on my homepage…right over there…to the left. Your left. A little lower. RIGHT THERE.
(*Also, I know how to spell literally.)
Now, if you just think that me writing a book is the best dadgum thing you’ve ever heard and you want to help me, here’s what you can do.

Congrats to you on getting this far. We share the same dream, but I'm a few steps behind (a little more blogging and platform-building, a little less book!) I've recently discovered your blog and am a new follower. Best wishes on this leg of the journey. Your writing is great!

Robin, if I had known you were this hilarious while we were growing up, I would've stolen all your jokes long ago! I have no doubt that you'll reach your goal, and I'll be one of your many fans…I always look forward to my daily Robin's Chicks emails!

I just spent half of my morning reading 'Aubrey said" and others here and there. I don't think I have laughed this hard in a LOOOONG Time. It reminds me so much of my house.
Robin says
Thank you Elizabeth!I hope you'll come back!

I look forward to reading the Greenwood Commonwealth every Tuesday!! I go straight to your article. You are an inspiration to mothers everywhere. I am the mother of a 2 1/2 year old girl who is very, shall we say, strong-willed! Thanks again for keeping this worn out mother amused!
Robin says
