Praise for Motherhood Martyrdom & Costco Runs
- "Being a mom is tough, but it's wonderful, funny, and the most exhausting thing ever. Dineen captures this humor-bordering-on-despair with an acute sense of comedic timing and a keen awareness of the often nonsensical world that is raising kids in modern society."--San Francisco Book Review, 5-stars
". . . Whitney's book, her voice, and experiences shared [are] hilarious but also raw, honest, and beautiful. I highly recommend Motherhood Martyrdom & Costco Runs. It is a fun, easy read, but is also realistic. If taken to heart and mind, this book can help drive you to do good in the world and in your own personal life as a mother and as a person."--Portland Book Review
"Whitney Dineen serves up an honest and hilarious portrayal of motherhood. Motherhood is tough and you're going to laugh or cry; you should always choose to laugh."--Jen Mann, NYT Bestselling Author of My Lame Life
"Erma [Bombeck] would probably get the biggest charge out of Motherhood Martyrdom & Costco Runs. It's beautifully written and a joy to read, even the parts that are embarrassing for some Victorian throwbacks like the author's husband. Dineen works a bit of magic here in this authentic, inspiring and very human collection of humorist writing. Motherhood Martyrdom & Costco Runs is most highly recommended." --Jack Mangus for Readers' Favorite, 5-stars

"With Motherhood Martyrdom and Costco Runs, Whitney Dineen has given us a beautiful, comical, and often poignant look into what raising children is really like. I found myself laughing and shedding a tear or two as I devoured the pages of this fantastic book. I absolutely adored it. And now I'm off to renew my membership at Costco!"--Bestselling Author, Jennifer Peel
"Dineen and I are kindred spirits - modern day mothers who tell it like it is. She beautifully expresses her successes and failures as a mother, while making us all feel a little better about our own parenting failures. Although we are very similar - I applaud her ability to have a 5 & 7 year old that have only ever heard her say the word "hell." This is what I call a GREAT mother!! This is a great read for anyone with children - and is looking for a light-hearted, humorous take on the reality that is parenting today."--Blogger, Laydee Googoogaga
