What editors and publishers are saying about JellyMom...
"I receive tons of humor submissions all hoping to be posted on my site; and while they are good, they are not extraordinary. Lisa Barker's column,
Jelly Mom, is the only one that makes me literally laugh out loud. Her humor comes as close to Erma Bombeck's insightfulness and superbly incredible sharp wit as I've ever seen . . . Jelly Mom easily inspires parents to
laugh just as much -- if not more! Finally, a mom who can claim the Erma Bombeck, Jr. title!"
~ Jodie Lynn, CEO, ParentToParent.com, syndicated
family/health columnist of Parent to Parent™, and author of family book, Mom CEO (Chief Everything Officer) - Having, Doing and Surviving It All! (June 2006)
