Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Elizabeth Lyons is many things: mom, wife, friend, lunch maker, chauffeur, hostage negotiator, on-call plumber, tile layer, guitar student, window washer, product designer, and on and on. One thing she is not is Superwoman. She simply demands the right to do things her own way--a way that often defies even the most creative imaginations--and she strives to inspire others to do things their way (once they figure out what their way is!). Elizabeth lives in Arizona with her husband, five kids, two dogs, two fish, four barely surviving organic gardens, and whatever (or whomever) has taken up residence with them since this manuscript went to print. She claims this is the last book she'll write (which she also claimed the last time). Author's home: Buckeye, Arizona

Von der hinteren Coverseite

For years, Elizabeth Lyons has been asked how she does it all. Whether she's negotiating a truce between her 10- and 5-year-old while eulogizing goldfish, swinging a sledgehammer in her garage-to-be-nursery, bribing her twins to keep their pants on in the grocery store, planning her product line, strategically planting carrot seeds in her garden, receiving life lessons from her oldest daughter, or explaining to her kids why a fellow post office patron has pierced nipples, Elizabeth has discovered that the secret to navigating the land of euphoria and hysteria is a carefully crafted set of rules -- for herself! You Cannot Be Serious is a contemporary and humorous roadmap for "doing it all" that any woman can relate to for untying her own "nots." And for moms who lie awake at night wondering if their sanity will remain intact until the kids move out, Lyons provides a girlfriend-to-girlfriend guide, not just for getting through each day, but for being able to say with conviction, "I love my life."
