Contest: Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures

By Mir

March 27, 2013

If you’re not reading Amber Dusick’s hilarious blog, Parenting. Illustrated with Crappy Pictures, you’re missing out. Fortunately, she just came out with a book, and the total-surprise-of-a-title is—you guessed it!—Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures.

I happen to have a copy of this book, because her publicist sent it to me. I’m a longtime reader of her blog and figured the book would just be stuff I’d already read, but there’s a ton of new stuff in there, plus I was mostly too busy chortling to take note of what I’d seen before and what I hadn’t. Girlfriend is funny.

Want to win a copy? Of course you do! I’ll send a copy to one lucky reader. First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Saturday, March 30th, 2012 for a chance to win. I’ll use my WordPress number-picker-plugin-thingie (technical term) to choose the winner.

Ready? Go!
