Peeing in Peace...Tales & Tips for Type A Moms

Robin Givens Can't Pee in Peace Either

2008-03-06T07:04:00.001-05:00

"Hello Beth! I am sitting at the airport and reading your book. How wonderful. Soooo funny and soooo meaningful. I've read the "Cinderella Syndrome" 3 times! It was such a pleasure to meet you and talk and laugh. Congratulations on your book, once again!"

•Actress and author Robin Givens

Just got the chance to shoot the breeze with actress Robin Givens - a single mom of two and former actress, turned stay at home mom, turned author, turned actress and potential talk show host. We had a great time with all the moms who attended - including Liz with Mom-101, Kim at Travelingmom.com, Mardene, my girlfriend from the 8:48 and a friend who's a new mom and about to return to maternity leave. Time to start doing more girls night's out with celebrities.

A Recent Review...From a Real Mom!

2007-03-16T07:16:00.000-04:00

This Just in...

We received an email last night from a working mom who just read our book and had to share her kind words...

My friend recently let me borrow your book "Peeing in Peace" and I was nearly peeing in my pants. As a working mother of two from Westchester County (from a Jewish family) with a high-stress job in NYC, it's not difficult to see why I completely could relate to your stories and had to refrain from laughing so hard out loud for fear of waking my baby. I just wanted to say thanks for giving me some great laughs the few first harrowing weeks home on maternity leave juggling a newborn and a three year old. It was nice to see that others experience the same challenges but manage to keep a sense of humor about it all. Thanks!

PRESENTING OUR NEW BOOK!

2006-11-17T15:14:00.000-05:00

Are you a multi-tasking mom pulled in a million directions by your precocious kids, demanding boss and starved for attention spouse?

Between the pages of this book you’ll find your community, confidantes and co-conspirators. Packed with hilarious stories and side splitting parenting tips, we’ll help you navigate the choppy waters of work, home and everywhere in between.

Who else but two successful time-strapped busy working moms can offer a brutally honest yet beautifully inspiring glimpse of what it’s really like to be a modern day working mother.

So grab a latte, enjoy the quiet and dive in.

A STEADY STREAM OF PRAISE FOR PEEING IN PEACE…

“For all the working moms who feel like they are about to drop the balls they’ve been juggling (ie all of us!), take heart. Peeing in Peace is filled with humor, compassion, and sage advice. I only wish Beth and Yvette had been around when my daughters were younger. Make time to read this book, even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom.”
Arianna Huffington, Author of On Becoming Fearless

“Like that euphoric feeling when you walk through the door of your home for the first time, Peeing in Peace welcomes working moms with open arms, awesome advice and pee in your pants moments. A must read for any mom who needs a little boost while trying to juggle business and babies.”
Barbara Corcoran, real estate mogul and author

“From the adorable cover to the laugh out loud chapters to the wonderful charity it's benefiting – Peeing in Peace had me smiling from start to finish.”
Marg Helgenberger, "CSI" television star and feature film actress

“If you’ve ever soaped up with the shower door open so you can watch the baby at the same time, piled furniture to build a “demilitarized zone” between your kids, or looked forward to Mondays because your high-powered job is comparatively restful, this is the book for you! Yvette Corporon and Beth Feldman have penned a laugh-out-loud rendition of parenting that will inspire you and give you strength for the next birthday party, middle of the night ER trip, or burping-decorated business suit. Full of wisdom on loving both your work and your kids like crazy.”
Donna Hanover, Host, WOR Radio Morning Show

"After raising my daughter, Lulu, alone and building my business, I know a lot about the crazy and chaotic life of a working mom. Peeing in Peace brought back incredible memories of what it was like to watch my baby and business grow. I love that this book is benefiting the GAL TO GAL foundation. As a breast cancer survivor, I know how important it is that we gals stick together and support each other in the fight against breast cancer."
Betsey Johnson, Designer

Balance is a mistress who often sleeps alone. But learning you’re not alone is worth its weight in comedic gold. Read it, laugh through it and for God’s sake, buy it!
Eva LaRue, ”CSI: Miami” star
