Momisms: The Wit & Wisdom of My Mom description:
|
|
|
Does it seem like your mom has a saying for every situation in life? Well, my mom did! Those sayings of hers, those "Momisms," are indelibly etched on my mind. I have included stories, mostly from my childhood, to illustrate the day-to-day practicality of her sayings in real life. "Momisms" is a great gift book!

| "Northern", the Alumni magazine of Northern Kentucky University, Spring 2006: | "Beggars can't be choosers."
"Sweep in front of your own door first"
Do those expressions sound familiar? Marianne Osburg Schwartz,'77, has put together a volume of timeless expressions from her mom that probably echo "momisms" heard in working-class homes around the region. Schwartz says her mom, who grew up during the depression, had a saying for every situation in life.
"She always had a simplistic, hit-the-nail-on-the-head attitude toward life. She got to the heart of the matter," Schwartz writes.

What do you mean, baby-boomers and gen-xers! I'm 75 and I savored the book! I guess moms have always been our secret professors and mentors.
I'm grateful to have been reminded of my studies at the University of Mom.

Pauline, A reviewer:
I really enjoyed reading Momisms: The Wit and Wisdom of My Mom by Marianne Schwartz. It brought back memories of what my mother said as I was growing up and hearing variations on the universal themes that we all hear from our own mothers. The book was very readable and the illustrations were well chosen.
