A collection of the best of Jelly Mom™, Just Because Your Kids Drive You Insane...Doesn't Mean You Are A Bad Parent!, has been praised by editors, publishers, readers and fellow writers.
Wendel Potter, humor writer for Jay Leno, Phyllis Diller, Joan Rivers and the Yakoff Smirnoff Show, says: "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."
