Meet The Author:
Kersten Campbell grew up in Wisconsin until she turned sixteen, when her family moved to Boise, Idaho. When she protested the move, her father said, Don't worry, you'll probably find some nice Mormon boy to marry.
Confused, Kersten replied, What's a Mormon?
She soon found out and joined the LDS Church at age twenty-one. She earned a bachelor s degree from the University of Idaho in English Literature and has written many articles for Church publications and other magazines. When not writing, she enjoys reading, painting, family history research, playing the clarinet, and playing with children.
She and that nice Mormon boy live in Washington with their five beautiful children.

Kersten is a new author and her foray into the humorous realms of motherhood are priceless. There is an absolutely hilarious tale of one of her daughters "flying" that just had me in stitches just visualizing the situation. Each of her lessons we can all learn from, even us grandmothers. We all can use a lot of humor in our everyday lives to get through all the stresses of raising our children. I had the opportunity of finishing this little book of wisdom while waiting to see my Oncologist yesterday and it was al I could do not to laugh out loud. This is a book to treasure for the insights Kersten has. I was wondering how she would handle her Primary lesson, bujt she did with grace.

Review: When I first got "Confessions of a Completely Insane Mother" in the mail, I set it on the counter, thinking I'd start it after lunch. My daughter beat me to it, though, and had it the rest of the afternoon. She's an avid reader and it didn't surprise me too much that she'd latched onto it. Okay, I thought to myself, I'll read it tomorrow.
The next day came and I went in search of the book. This time my son had it, and wasn't about to give it up. This was a little more unusual. My son is a reluctant reader and it's been a chore to get him to read anything but "Captain Underpants." You can bet your boots I wasn't about to snatch away his new reading material of choice.
The day after that, I was in the kitchen making dinner when I heard uproarious laughter coming from the living room. I looked in and saw my husband sprawled out on the floor, reading the book, laughing so hard he had tears running down his face. All four of my children sat around him, listening as he read aloud the challenges of getting all one's children arranged for a family photo shoot. His stomach hurt from laughing by the end of the chapter.
That night at the dinner table, my children engaged in conversation.
Son #2. I think that author should write a sequel.
Son #1. Then it would be called, "Confessions of a Completely Insane Mother II."
Son #2. Or maybe it could be called "Confessions of a Completely Insane Father."
Daughter: But then her husband would have to write it, and I don't know if her husband writes books.
This morning, I went in search of the book (again), still waiting my chance to read it. Finally, I asked, "Kids, have you seen my book?"
"Oh, it's on my dresser," my daughter said. "I was reading it again last night."
At last, the book was in my hands!
And what did I think of it?
Pretty much all of the above. My children have good taste, and of course my husband does. He picked me, didn't he?
