The Beer's Folded and the Laundry's Cold

Mostly True Adventures in Housewifery

By: Paige Kellerman

Narrated by: Rebecca Hansen

In The Beer's Folded and the Laundry's Cold: Mostly True Adventures in Housewifery, Paige Kellerman follows up her hilarious debut - At Least My Belly Hides My Cankles - with the natural next step-taking on budgeting, babies, and trying to keep the day drinking down to a minimum while staying at home.

At the core, it's a story of a woman who worked in an office and didn't, instead working on trying to make money stretch like a two dollar pair of panty hose, upping her fashion game to include occasionally wearing pants, and using dull childproof scissors to cut out coupons and wads of gum from her kid's hair.

Listeners will learn how to:

• Cry about student loans
• Accept the futility of cleaning while children are awake
• Make their spouse feel awkward, using only conversation
• Dance in the grocery store

This hilarious follow-up is not a "how-to" on being the perfect parent, but rather a tale of one woman running the house like a boss-that is, when she's not scraping failed Pinterest-inspired experiments out of the crockpot, filling the bird feeder and waiting for rogue squirrels, or inhaling the smell of a laundry sheet like a Snuggle-scented sedative. Housewifery just met its match.

What is this

Try as I might I could not get in to this book. The title leads one to believe it will be funny. But I didn’t find anything funny within.
I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator

good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

This story was not for me

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

This was more of a how to or not how to type comedic manual which I want a story and did not feel like I was getting. This wasn't like a technical manual. It just grated on my nerves. I'm sure this book will be perfect for others just not my type.

What three words best describe Rebecca Hansen’s performance?

Way too loud.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Amusing and entertaining

I enjoyed this audiobook. The humor was well written without being overdone. The narrator did a wonderful job of making the story incidents relatable. I have recommended it to others especially those with small children.

Funny and memorable book!

This was a very easy listen. The narration was great and everything flowed really well. I thought about my wife constantly as I listened, and laughed out loud several times (in my car so everyone around thought I was crazy!!!).

Overall, very enjoyable. Nice job Paige!
