About the book: Raising boys isn't easy. Life with them is loud. If it's quiet, they're probably up to something. Boys are messy, competitive, fearless, and proud. Living with them pretty much guarantees that you're in for an adventure.
In Boy-sterous Living, Jean shares a few of the priceless stories and laugh-out-loud lessons that she and her boys have experienced over the years. With humorous insight and practical advice, she offers encouragement and ideas to help both mothers and fathers impact and shape the lives of their sons. From understanding their love of sports to overcoming the superman complex, Jean shows moms how to find joy and contentment in everyday life by celebrating the laughter, passion, noise, and endless energy boys bring to our lives.

MY REVIEW
This is a very fun and enjoyable book to read for anyone, and especially hilarious if you have a son (or two in my case!). Boy-Sterous Living is an easy read and would make an excellent gift for the mom-of-sons in your life.

As a mother of two boys, I'm sure I could relate to some things in this book. It looks like a fun read.

As a mom of four and 3 of them being boys I have had a lot of gross and funny stuff happen along the years. One of the funniest times I recall was when my son was 2 and at a wedding, he took his hand and rubbed it up this ladys panythosed leg all the way up her skirt. I guess her liked the silky feeling. We all still laugh at the time he goosed the old lady.
Thanks for the book review and enjoy those boys!!
