Just Let Me Lie Down by Kristin van Ogtrop
Kristin von Ogtrop is the editor of Real Simple and spends her life helping people simplify their lives. What we discover in her debut memoir/self-help dictionary, Just Let Me Lie Down: Necessary Terms for the Half-Insane Working Mom, is that her life (and the lives of women everywhere) is anything but simple. Kristin handles the obstacles and pitfalls of mixing motherhood and career with humor, grace and last but not least, simplicity. Any woman who has ever found themselves tethered to their Blackberry, unable to keep their life in order and always struggling to find the elusive “balance” they keep hearing about, will find Kristin’s words to be a soothing antidote to their worries. This is a woman who has been there, done that and written humorously and honestly about it along the way.
