The Beer's Folded and the Laundry's Cold

Mostly True Adventures in Housewifery

De: Paige Kellerman

Narrado por: 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?

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!

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Ahhh

Sorry I really tried to get into this book. However, it was like listening to a reading of a comedy show. It just lacked any real story value to me. I kept waiting for the drum roll after each little story. Not my cup of tea sorry. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review.

Hilarious Stroll Down Memory Lane!

I loved this listen! It totally took me back to my days of being a young, stay-at-home mom with my two daughters and working husband while struggling (and laughing....yes, sometimes through a few tears) at the realities of every day life. SO relatable and had me laughing out loud many, many times! The chapter about trying to live up to that Pinterest lifestyle had me howling!!! Rebecca Hansen did an excellent job with author Paige Kellerman's hilarious and heartwarming take on how life REALLY is for domestic goddesses everywhere! Bravo, Ladies!!!

Share it with freinds

Overall, this is an entertaining listen. It could be considered a modern-day Ann Landers with a touch more humor. I'm actually a stay-at-home husband, so I could identify with many of the observations. It is a common theme to hear friends dismiss my job as audiobook narrator/producer and zombie novel writer as not really working.

Some of the bits seemed almost forced at times like the attempt to bring out the humor was more important and it made me forget what she was talking about. I did like how she always referred to her spouse as simply "Husband". I enjoyed it overall and would share the title with friends.

Ms. Hansen fit fine as the narrator, bet there were times when her voice would lull me out of the story and into a daydream. Of course, that could've just been the road as I listened to this as I drove to and from a dog show in my RV.

This title was furnished by the author/narrator in exchange for an honest review. I don't write "fluff" pieces, so if I love or hate it...I will not be shy in telling you.

good story.

♥ Story ♥


If you are a housewife or a mother or wife, you will find laughs listening to this. There are definitely several scenarios I have found myself suck in as a mother and wife. I feel this whole title could of used some more structure as the writing jumps around a lot without any warning and it becomes confusing at times. About the time you figure that out, it jumps to somewhere else in time. This is more a rant than a story, but for those of us who have lived even a smidge of this, it can be somewhat cathartic!



♥ Author ♥


This is my 1st read/listen by Paige Kellerman. This is her only audio title. She writes good realistic comedy that is relatable.
Paige only has this 01 title listed on Audible.


♥ Narrator(s) ♥


This is my 1st listen by Rebecca Hansen and she did a decent job. She spent too much time at one level of voice that is became distracting a times.
Rebecca has 13 titles listed on Audible.
