The onslaught of reproduction has made this overachiever aiming under, especially for the Holidays, a spit storm of FUBARiffic Decking of the Halls brought to you by, none other than, mom. Take a shortcut through achievement, under it, with these hacks and how-to’s to get you through.
She was going to be the perfect mother. She was going to bake Christmas pies from scratch. She was going to make the kids donate time to charity to teach them the spirit of Christmas. She was going to have the department store Christmas tree she used to decorate for Stone and Thomas when she was in high school.
She was the perfect mother, up until the point where she had kids.
Now she has no idea how long that food has been sitting in her slow cooker and is planning to throw it away, again. Shhh. Don’t tell anyone.
Michelle Grewe is only one of the many moms who realized around the third day of having a baby, she was no longer going to pull off Mother of the Year.
“They forget to tell you the part where you never get to sleep again in that What to Expect When Expecting book.”
By the time kid number 3 came along, she realized Honorable Mention was definitely out.
She has had to make short cuts. She has had to pretend things happened the way they were supposed to happen despite that it didn’t go that way. She has pictures to prove her lies on her Facebook, for sake of the children’s memories.
“All my Christmas Pictures on Facebook are Photoshopped. Some women photoshop bigger boobs and a smaller waist, but I Photoshop out the carpet stains and drawings on my wall. One time I was even able to remove cobwebs from my ceiling.”
Now she has combined her engineering background with her artistic ingenuity and her inherent desire to sit on the sofa and watch a movie, and she compiled some Holiday Ideas you can do in that “Just a minute!” time your kids won’t let you have.
In this book, you might find
The secrets to achieving the fake smile you see in all the 1950’s advertisements. What woman smiles like that next to words like, “Keep her wear she belongs?” A medicated one. That’s right ladies.
Department store worthy handmade bows, for that person on your list you’ve been trying to one-up at the mom thing.
Delicious Dinners you just “throw together.”
Easy Desserts that don’t require an Easy Bake oven.
An Apple Pie from Scratch, with only 10 minutes prep time.
Underachieving decorations that look like they belong on the cover of Better Homes.
Some of the dumbest crafts you’ll ever find that your kids will love, and you can still use what they made for something besides the spot on the back of the tree.
Cheap or Fail-Proof things that are slightly overachieving.
The word, “Plop,” in a How-To.
Lots of Easy Buttons. Metaphorically speaking.
Pencil in, "Enjoy the Holidays" on your to-do list. Keep things easy for yourself and Jingle Bell Hopscotch through the Holidays with Fantabuloso Underachievement.
May your days be merry and bright! May all your Holiday Expectations be Slight!
Warning This entire book was written, edited, and designed while under the influence of children.

I was more than pleasantly surprised after buying my Kindle copy of "The Underachiever's Guide to Perfect Holidays"! In the author's description, she admits (as a warning) that "This entire book was written, edited, and designed while under the influence of children." She could have fooled me! It looks and reads like a professional, (a professional who created it behind closed doors with maybe some classical music, a cup of tea, and no interruptions); hats off to her for putting it together so beautifully!So . . . what will you find in her guide for the holiday-challenged mom? (A LOT! It's well over 300 pages long!)
Easy desserts that don’t require an Easy Bake oven; an apple pie from scratch, with only 10 minutes prep time; and underachieving decorations that look like they belong on the cover of "Better Homes."
I highly recommend this wonderful holiday Kindle book, and I cannot wait for "The Underachiever's Guide to Perfect Holidays" to come out in paperback next year (during the 2016 holidays)!

The Underachiever Guide to Perfect Holidays edition by Michelle Grewe Cookbooks Food Wine eBooks Reviews
Okay, I collect Christmas idea books. The best I have are two by Susan Waggoner "A Very Vintage Christmas" and "A Handcrafted Christmas". This book has 4 or 5 ideas I will consider. It has 2 or 3 I will use for sure, to me that is middle of the road and pretty good. I realize it is Christmas but though I celebrate it I would have liked it a little more if there was a little less angels and religion...
I had really expected to enjoy this book. I mean what parent does not feel like a underachiever when it come to Christmas and our kids. But the author has used way too much unacceptable language in the book. We try to teach our children that using foul language is unacceptable and then someone comes out with a book like this that is filled with cursing. It was just not acceptable in my humble opinion. The only thing that is saving this book from a 1 star is the recipes.
