Hard Times Will Pass

Kathryn Sprandio Ells Author Interview

Laugh Like A Mother is a wonderfully engaging blend of humor, chaos, and heartfelt emotion, capturing the rollercoaster ride of parenthood. What inspired you to write this book?

Motherhood! My day-to-day grind with my 3 tiny humans inspired me to lay it all out to help myself and the world laugh.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

Parenting is hard, but so very rewarding. It’s important to remember that the hard times will pass and the fun and laughter far outweighs the tantrums.

What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your story?

When you’re parenting, it’s easy to get lost in it and feel alone. I love being honest about life and I hope my writing makes other parents say, “Okay, it’s not just me. I’m not alone in this.” It’s comforting to know that other people are going through it and are able to laugh about it.

Will there be a follow-up book to this one? If so, what topics will the next book cover?

I would love to write more funny poetry and anecdotes about parenting. As my children grow, the phases they go through grow as well and I am sure I will find a lot more humor to come!

Laugh Like A Mother

Laugh Like A Mother by Kathryn Sprandio Ells is a wonderfully engaging blend of humor, chaos, and heartfelt emotion, capturing the rollercoaster ride of parenthood. What sets this book apart is Ells’ knack for portraying the madness of raising small children in a way that feels intensely personal yet universally relatable. Through witty illustrations and short, vibrant stories, she offers a candid glimpse into the joys and frustrations of parenting, all while keeping readers laughing from start to finish.

Ells writes as if she’s sitting across from you, coffee in hand, recounting her latest parenting disaster. Her voice is real and conversational, making the reader feel like they’re swapping stories with an old friend. She doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles, but she also doesn’t dwell on them. Instead, she finds humor in the chaos, whether it’s wrestling with an umbrella stroller in a crowded parking lot or accidentally setting herself on fire while cooking. Her ability to make you laugh out loud while still recognizing the underlying challenges of parenthood is what makes her stories so compelling. What truly sets Laugh Like A Mother apart is its balance between humor and sentiment. While the stories are quick and light, they’re layered with moments that catch you off guard. Ells reflects on her children’s growth, her own insecurities as a mother, and the small victories that come with parenting, adding depth to what initially seems like a breezy read. The mix of light-hearted anecdotes with deeper reflections turns this book into something much more meaningful than just another funny parenting book. The inclusion of poetry adds an unexpected and thought-provoking touch. These poetic interludes offer a reflective pause between the more humorous tales, allowing Ells to explore the quieter, more introspective moments of motherhood. Simple yet evocative, these poems capture the tenderness and emotional complexity of being a parent, lingering in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page.

Laugh Like A Mother is a book that will strike a chord with anyone who has ever found themselves laughing and crying at the same time. It’s not just a funny take on motherhood; it’s an honest one, and that’s what makes it a must-read for parents everywhere.
