Overview
Author, television personality, and lady who cooks for a living, Danielle Kartes turns her most embarrassing moments into hilarious and hopeful stories to remind us that perfection is overrated and humor is one of the best ways to get through parenting hiccups, career pivots, and life's uncertainties.
Let's be honest: You're tired. Tired of trying to hold it together. Tired of measuring your days against everyone else's highlight reel. Tired of pretending you didn't just cry in your car, wear mismatched shoes, or Google "Is this normal?" for the third time this week. You don't just want to laugh. You need to. And you need to know you're not the only one who is figuring life out on the fly.
In this hilarious collection of all-too-real stories, Danielle Kartes welcomes you into her beautifully chaotic life, where peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are not just for breakfast anymore, national television appearances include peeing your pants, and being a professional chef doesn't require culinary school but does occasionally call for a fire extinguisher. She'll remind you that
- authenticity is a strength (even when it's uncomfortable);
- uncertainty and change--even in midlife--isn't a failure, it's part of being human; and
- you're not alone in your family drama, moments of anxiety, and unyielding desire for cheesy crackers.
Rooted in faith and grounded in grace, Danielle helps you see how Jesus gives you hope--even when He hands you a punchline instead of a plan. So pull up a chair if you can find one. And if it's covered in laundry, don't worry. Sometimes beauty and lost socks show up where you least expect them.
