It seems that the webmaster has let an early review of Mammy Diaries slip through the net and go unnoticed. The review in question was kindly written by theclothesline.ie and can be read at their blog here.
Rest assured that the monkey webmaster has had his tyre swing chopped down and his banana rations cut to a minimum.

To celebrate FINALLY getting my arse in gear and publishing the Mammy Diaries, I've organized a series of coffee mornings at play centers around the country to serve as book launches and would love to see you all there! I've also invited local pregnancy and parenting related services to come and be a part of each launch.
The first one will kick off in the Go Safari Activity Center near Carraigtwohill. You can check them out on facebook or see their website for directions here.
The Cork sling library will be there with their HUGE selection of baby slings and carriers for you to try out and Friends of Breastfeeding will also be in attendance with tons of great information for new and expectant parents.
Certified Lactation consultant and Antenatal teacher Geraldine Cahill will be on hand to dish out advice and support on all things pregnancy and baby related. Ger will also be giving out information about Cuidiu, the Irish Childbirth Trust and the many services they offer to new and expectant parents and the lovely Mary Tighe of Birthin' Mamas will be there to answer any questions you may have about Gentle Birth in Cork!
So please, if you're up for a fun day out, pop on down to Go Safari this coming Tuesday and join me in celebrating the release of Mammy Diaries.
Admission is free for Adults and Babies under one and it's €5.00 for children over one.
Details of our Next Launch in Kildare will follow shortly.
