Publish Jelly Mom™

Dear Editors,

Thank you so much for publishing Jelly Mom. Writing for so many of you over the last five years has been a great pleasure.

As you know, one of my kiddos is terminally ill and I have been on sabbatical for the last six months, sending in reprints. Thank you for so generously continuing to print Jelly Mom. The downtime has allowed me to discern that stepping back from Jelly Mom is the right thing to do and I am writing you today to let you know that I will no longer be writing new Jelly Mom columns or sending in reprints.

Thank you for the coveted space you allowed me on your websites, in your magazines and newspapers, on your blogs and in newsletters. I am so happy that I was able to share the antics of the kids I love so much with other parents who treasure their darlings much the same.

Very sincerely and warmly yours,
Lisa Barker

"The appealing thing about Lisa Barker's sense of humor is that the joke is on her. She is the willing foil in this madcap menagerie and that's what makes it work." - Wendel Potter, humor writer for Jay Leno, Phyllis Diller, Joan Rivers and the Yakov Smirnoff Show, in a review of Lisa's first book "Just Because Your Kids Drive You Insane...Doesn't Mean You Are A Bad Parent!".

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)
