Synopsis

This program is read by the author.

A Good Morning America Buzz Pick

From the author of Class Mom and You've Been Volunteered comes a new audiobook on one mom's challenges through parenting and life, keeping her on her toes and perpetually in yoga pants.

Jen Dixon of Overland Park, Kansas—fearless mother of a fifth-grade boy and two thirty-something daughters—is used to juggling a lot, from her mission to become a spin instructor, to stepping in as the most acerbic class mom ever (again), to taking care of her two-year-old granddaughter. But when the PTA president throws her a mandate to raise $10,000 for the fifth-grade class, even unflappable Jen is going to need more than her regular spin class to get her through this final year at William Taft Elementary School.

In the midst of new complications—organizing the class overnight to Topeka, an unexpected spin class fan in the form of her husband’s crazy ex-wife, and trying to navigate her parents’ sudden descent into apparent delusions—Jen hardly has the patience to listen to yet another half-baked idea (come on, ladies, another wrapping paper sale?) from WeFUKCT (We Fundraise Until Kingdom Come Team), her fundraising committee. But if anyone can get elementary parents to pull off the impossible, it’s Jen Dixon.

With her always irreverent and laugh-out-loud humor—boldly holding forth on those things you’re thinking, but would never dare say out loud—Laurie Gelman shines a light on the indignities and hilarities of modern parenting.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company

Calling all moms! Grab your best Lululemon because Jen Dixon is back! Yoga Pant Nation is the third book in the hilariously funny Class Mom series.

3.5 stars, rounded up Cute addition to the series, listened to the audiobook narrated by the author and I love her sarcasm and tongue in cheek comments. I think this is a series you should read in order so that you'll know who all of the people are, because she doesn't really explain it in the narrat......more

Confession: I want Jen Dixon, first introduced in Laurie Gelman's 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙢, to be my best friend. She's a snarky, hysterical, wine-loving wife and mother attempting to make it through her 40s with her sanity intact. To say I relate is an understatement. So it's not surprising that 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗔 𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡......more
