In this sequel to Confessions Of A Super Mom, Birdie is back and she finds her superpowers are developing into more than she can handle. Her kids are still teenagers you can tell because anything she does they are embarrassed by. She is finally revealing her relationship with Carl just as her ex Dr. Dan has thoughts to rekindle their marriage. All that and cleaning supply mascots like Mr. Clean are coming to life and helping her fight her new nemesis.

I loved this book just as I loved the first book. The celebrity appearances like Ryan Seacrest and the scrubbing bubbles were hilarious. Just like Confessions Of A Super Mom, I can see this as a movie, with Drew Barrymore as Birdie. She is sweet, a little klutzy, and so relatable. The way the characters work through their problems internally also gives you the chance to work out your feelings about the things the characters and their decisions.

I am sad I finished the series. I hope maybe there will be more books in the future but I kinda doubt it.

Still, one of my favorite authors whether she goes by Hauser or Benjamin. Really hope one-day Supermom comes back or maybe I get her powers. Lord knows my place needs it. ( )

I loved it!
If you read this - and I recommend you do - pay attention to the characters names - hilarious!!!! ( )

Summary: Super Mom has a new villain to face as she saves Astro Park again.

The Take-Away: As an unplanned sequel, requested by her publisher, Hauser does an excellent job of developing her characters. Super Mom, aka Birdie Lee, is getting remarried while her ex-husband is divorcing his second wife -- the one he left her for. Oh yeah, something is suspicious with the new baseball diamond for the Little Leaguers. Do they really need a domed field, while the pep bands' uniforms are practically rotting around them? (That's my speculation.)

My favorite scene takes place at Birdie's ex-husband's -- Dan -- house. Dan has purchased, through a charity auction, a cleaning from Super Mom for Birdie. Since Birdie is Super Mom, she convinces him that she, Birdie, doesn't want the prize and he should accept it for himself. Then she, as Super Mom, can snoop through his house. While snooping and questioning Dan, Birdie confronts her conflicted feelings. Should she get back together with the father of her children? Should she marry Carl, her nerdy admirer? Not only is the house cleaned when she is done, Birdie uncovers what she came for.

Recommendation: Check out Confessions of Super Mom, the first title, then grab this one. ( )
