Celebrating the joyous art of being a mother, MOMumental offers an inspiring, honest, and infectiously humorous look at the perils and pleasures of raising a family in the real world.
Once a devout believer in the myth of the perfect mother, author Jennifer Grant now has a more realistic yet still upbeat view of parenting and families. Instead of focusing on creating a conflict-free home, raising picture-perfect kids, and being an ideal mother, Grant offers a wiser and more down-to-earth way to love your children that makes room for mistakes and imperfections. She says, I share stories about family life and how I've come to appreciate the mess of it. I am grateful for my own happy, idiosyncratic, and imperfect family.
MOMumental is one mother's account of the unpredictable, creative, sometimes hilarious, and always rewarding process of raising a family. It's filled with funny and poignant stories from her everyday life--a life that mothers everywhere can identify with.

Wow. Jennifer Grant's MOMumental is amore than a parenting book. It is a love story reminding us that imperfection should be celebrated, not feared. -Kirk Martin, Founder of CelebrateCalm.com and CelebrateADHD.com
MOMumental's wit and wisdom so enraptured me, I found myself taking notes. Moreover, it elicited such from-the-bottom-of-my-soul laughter that I caused a full-blown scene on the cross-country plane ride where I read it. Fasten your seat belts, folks; you're in for an unforgettable ride. -Cathleen Falsani, Journalist
