Silence is golden, but for moms on-the-go, 10 glorious minutes to yourself might be the next best thing. If you’re wondering what to do during your next breather, Julie Klappas and Lyss Stern co-authored a charming book entitled If You Give A Mom A Martini: 100 ways to find 10 blissful minutes for yourself. Activities range from sweet to satirical, and your much needed mommy time-outs include anything from attempting a handstand to a good old “Stitch ‘n ***” (catching up with old knitting pals, of course).

This clever book is also sprinkled with tips from celebrity moms like talk show host Kelly Ripa and Melissa Joan Hart, fashion designers such as Catherine Malandrino and other mommy authors like Sophie Uliano.

Our favorite 10 minute time-out: Park It

“Arrive early to pick up your child at school, and watch the other mothers passive-aggressively vie for the good spots in the car-pool lane. It’s a relatively new sport – as competitive as NASCAR – and just as entertaining.”

This sassy book makes a great gift for the upcoming holiday season or new moms-to-be who will appreciate this comedic take on being a mom.
