Stuff That Matters for Single Parents dispenses a liberal dose of hope and humor for "solo" parents. From money matters to time crunches, from loneliness to navigating the dating scene, Lorenz addresses a myriad of issues that can baffle even the most even-keeled. Having singlehandedly raised four kids, Patricia knows all about life's little ups and downs. But she assures us, for those who keep a sense of humor, the experience is never boring. This book will encourage you to enjoy life and get the support you need from other adults, from your kids and from God.

"I'm no different than anybody else trying to raise kids in today's world. But we single parents get to take all the blame for all the mistakes that were made along the way. Then again, we also get to puff out with pride and joy when our kids turn out OK and we see them raising their children the same way we raised them. Motherhood has been my greatest joy, my most challenging role, and my most cherished accomplishment." - Patricia Lorenz

"This book is a veritable 'Chicken Soup for the Soul for Parents.' I was touched, moved, inspired, and educated by all of these stories." - Jack Canfield, co-author of New York Times bestselling "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books.

Patricia Lorenz, a longtime contributor to Guideposts magazine and the devotional book Daily Guideposts, is one of the most prolific writers for "Chicken Soup for the Soul," and in Life’s Too Short to Fold Your Underwear she entertains you with her own and other people’s tales about how to prioritize the truly important things in life.

Patricia doesn’t fold her underwear. One woman doesn’t sort her silverware, but tosses all of the knives, forks and spoons together. Another friend doesn’t match her socks, set her hair or play around with make-up. A forty-something-year-old man says life’s too short to dedicate himself to corporate America, so he started his own business.

In Grab the Extinguisher, My Birthday Cake’s on Fire! Patricia delights us with smaller slices of life. When her children are grousing and pouting around the dinner table, Patricia pulls out a handful of kazoos, plays one and marches around. Soon the rest of the family adds to the cacophony and laughter follows.

Let this witty and wise treasure trove of stories calm you, inspire you to make some changes in your life and give you a sense of what living joyfully is all about. Patricia will make you laugh, cry and give you wings to become a person who truly knows what’s important in life.

This exclusive two-book collection of original true short stories will tickle your funny bone and tug your heartstrings.
