A full time job, two kids and a husband at home . . . The diary of a modern family.
"What are those feathers doing in your school bag?" I asked Alex after his second day in kindergarten.
"I'm collecting them," he replied. "If they put me in prison at school I'll make wings and fly away."
Alarm bells went off in my head. "You've been a good boy, haven't you?"
Alex didn't' answer. Somehow I wasn't so sure.
A birthday party for a mob of eight-year-olds, house hunting with kids in tow and the teething problems of starting school: Eva Lewicki details the incidents that pepper her everyday life as she tries to hold down a full-time job while living with a busy house-husband and two demanding children.
The 1.5 million people who read 'That's Life' magazine each week have followed the good times - and bad - of Eva Lewicki, her househusband Jules and children Sophie, 10, and Alex, 9, for four years. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll end up loving this fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants domestic diary.
This is not a how-to parenting book but a feel-good portrait of family life in 2002 with lots of laughs and some wisdom. 'The Kids And Us!' is for any parent who can see the funny side of parenting - or needs to.
