Oldest Mom on the Playground by Judy Haveson #blogtour #bookreview #humor #women #nonfiction #parenting #giveaway #rabtbooktours @judyhaveson @RABTBookTours


 Essays & Collections, Parenting Humor, Women's Non-fiction

Date Published: 09-24-2024

 

 

Judy Haveson always believed she would one day “have it all.” Then she turned forty and wondered if she had waited too long. After countless failed first dates and fewer second ones, she finally found love, got married, and became a mother at forty-three.

Oldest Mom on the Playground is a collection of relatable, heartwarming, and humorous essays. Written in her signature conversational style and with a touch of sarcasm, Judy takes readers on her journey of getting pregnant after forty (and delivering the baby during a full moon), raising a child in New York City (including the time she lost him in a grocery store and found him standing on Broadway), leaving the career she spent decades building to volunteer as a preschool class rep, to becoming a card-carrying member of the sandwich generation.

Judy offers no parenting advice, only personal reflection. And she takes nothing in her life for granted. Her message to other midlife mamas is this: trust your gut, let your life experience guide you, and pray no one ever mistakes you for the grandmother.




Review

This was one of those books that was not only very informative, helpful, and a great resource for women, but also inspiring, lighthearted and funny at the same time!

Written like a letter from a friend, Judy gives us advice and stories from her own experience to help us in our own journey as a middle age parent. Having babies later in life is becoming more normal and this is a great navigation of that.

This was ultimately a great read and highly rewarding.


About the Author

Judy Haveson is the award-winning author of Laugh Cry Rewind—A Memoir. She is known for her sarcastic humor and enjoys sharing stories about her life experiences and observations. Her fascination with storytelling comes from her decades-long career in public relations. Judy once had a boss tell her that there are two types of people: those who know and those who want to know. That boss fired her, but his words became a valuable lesson to always aim to be the one who knows. Judy lives in Hampton Bays, NY, with her husband, Adam, son, Jack, and adorable Yorkie, Toby.
