by Martina Anto-Ocrah (Author)
Dr. Martina Anto-Ocrah was busy preparing for graduate school when she found out she was pregnant with not one, not two, but THREE babies! TRIPLETS?! Yes! Best part? She and her husband already had a toddler! Four kids under 4 was what the future foretold! She almost lost her mind. But also realized she had a sense of humor.
The stories, anecdotes, and poems presented in this book started as a coping mechanism for the various parts of life as a mom of four (a set of Triplets and a Big Brother), spouse, an academic, and of course, an immigrant in a foreign land during these times. Also in the book is her appearance on the popular baking show Nailed It! Holiday! Season 1 Episode 3 ("You Mitzvah Spot" 2018)-where she won (spoiler alert!) In her words: "Although this book is about ME, the challenges of parenting, I believe are universal. Being a mom is a constant battle of guilty feelings, frustration, escapism, and ultimately, trial and error. The book's tone is one of authenticity cushioned in humor; a humor I did not know I had until the Triplets arrived and doubled the size of our household! As you read this book, I hope that you can relate to a story or two and know that you are not alone. Please, enjoy as I share my worthy, humorous life with you."
