"Elizabeth's writing style is like Tina Fey is channeling Dear Abby"
-Jenna McCarthy, bestselling author

Elizabeth Lyons had a great life raising 5 beautiful kids (who tended to lie down on the floor of Target when things weren't going their way). She was blessed with great friends (who she had little time to see). She had a well-paying job (that she enjoyed just enough to make it palatable).

And then one day while driving down the highway, "Happy" by Leona Lewis came on the radio.
While she hadn't ever fully paid attention to the lyrics, one line in particular forced her to pull over:

I could stand by the side. Watch this life pass me by. So unhappy. But safe as could be.

In that moment, getting real honest with herself and developing customized rules to ensure that she began living her best life in order to show her kids by example how to live theirs became non-negotiable.

✓ You miss yourself (even though you're with yourself all day long)!

If so, this book was written just for you. You Cannot Be Serious: and 32 Other Rules That Sustain a (Mostly) Balanced Mom is a roadmap to shift your perspective and put you back in the driver's seat in order to bring consistent joy back into your amazing life.

The alternative is continuing to live in comfortable mediocrity, and that life isn't for you!
