This is a collection of short essays in response to the pandemic and quarantining with kids that moms everywhere are sure to relate to. Divided into categories of things that moms no longer have time to do - read, work out, eat, have sex, or breathe. While I was previously unfamiliar with Owens and her "Moms Don't Have Time" podcast I see this being a great companion focusing on the ways COVID has impacted our lives. She discusses how it touched her loved ones and then shares a number of essays

When the pandemic hit, I think it's fair to say that we were all looking for ways to keep our sanity. Some started making bread, some deep cleaned their homes, some enjoyed an extra glass of wine, and some started a new yoga and meditation routine. Some struggled with old and new demons, struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, grief, body image... Whatever you ended up doing or going through, I'm sure you'll related to some of the stories from Moms Don't Have Time To. The book consists

The perfect book for any mom who has considered packing her bag and heading to Florida, solo, during quarantine. Zibby Owens confirms once again that we are not alone in this glorious, crazy, soul-sapping thing called motherhood and gives us hope that the pandemic, too, shall pass.

The rave reviews and the introduction in the book really hyped me up, but many of the 'essays' were a bit of a let down and felt more like reading affluent ladies' blog posts. There were some good ones which touched me, but there were also quite a few that felt like lacking any substance and some felt whiny, some came of as a bit elitist, some uninspiring and irrelevant, and overall I couldn't connect and relate to many of them. It's probably just me, because all the reviews I've read are super

There are few gems in here, but mostly, it feels like a compilation of blog posts. Not sure what I was expecting, but I was disappointed. One of the interesting things about the book is that it shows just how different people really are, especially in the "Moms Dont Have Time to Exercise" and "Eat" sections. Most of the essays just didn't resonate with me. I was given a free copy thanks to Uplit Reads in exchange for an honest review.

Today is the day! This marvelous anthology is now available. The breadth of what "moms don't have time to" right now is lengthy. The range of memoir pieces curated by Owens manages to capture the sadness, grief, joy, absurdity, and novelty of this strange time. While Owens is showing us what moms can't do right now, these stories actually show us what moms CAN do right now - which is continue the work of taking care of ourselves, our marriages, our friends, our family, and raising our humans. So...

Moms Don’t Have Time To Edited By: Zibby Owens @zibbyowens PUB DATE: 2/16/21💜💜💜💜/5I’ve said it a million times and I’ll keep saying it... it’s been a YEAR.

This is a series of essays covering a variety of subjects by an impressive number of authors. So many of the essays are relatable and others are quite funny. I devoured this book in 2 days but it is also a book you can put down and read at your leisure. It was comforting to know that well known authors were also experiencing the same uncertainty and feelings during the pandemic.While I have read books by a number of the authors in this book, I also found authors new to me whose books I want to r...

This is an inspiring, uplifting, relatable collection of essays/short stories from authors in all walks of life; parents, step-parents, child-free adults, of different races, sex, from different countries and cultures. It's incredibly diverse which makes it so beautiful. You get a million and one perspectives and while it's 'A Quarantine Anthology', many of the stories are not directly related to Covid life but the lessons, joy, or sorrow from those essays/stories can be applied to this time.It'...

Thank you, Zibby Owens, for this beautiful anthology of gifted writers, many of whom were embarrassingly new to me. Their works now comprise my "want to read" list. During COVID, when the opportunity to browse a bookstore no longer exists, I am grateful for this collection and the exposure to these authors. A great read!

These essays are perfectly sized bites that anyone will be able to find the time to read, and when you do? You'll feel all the better for it.

This group of articles about life during quarantine was so enjoyable. FYI, while there were some tragic stories of loss, for the most part, the focus was not on that.The Mom’s Don’t Have Time To articles are separated into sections such as eat, read, workout etc. I found so many of them to be extremely relatable and found myself nodding away or at times laughing. I loved listening to all of them.Why four stars and not five, this just comes down to personal preference. I listened to this on audio...

This book is composed of more than sixty essays written during quarantine from many of today's most popular writers. Each essay is only about three to five pages long and falls into one of the following five Mom's Don't Have Time To categories: Read, Work Out, Eat, Have Sex, and Breathe. With so many different essays, most readers will find something which speaks to them.

I got this as a gift and opened it to the middle and read the first story, Food Can Hurt, by Rene Denzel and I openly wept in my kitchen. So moving. I just spent the last three hours devouring this book. Relevant and engrossing.

4.5 stars Moms Don’t Have Time To is an anthology of articles about everything from working out, eating, reading, sex... Written and compiled as we quarantined and adjusted to life with coronavirus the authors are honest about the small joys, life lessons, losses and the struggle of life in this new world. This book reminded me of my love for magazines. You know the feeling of flipping through brightly colored pages waiting for the next surprise gem. Articles about varied topics, each one impart...

It's 2020. We're in the middle of a global pandemic. (Okay, those were words I never thought I would write). We have both more and less time for certain things in our lives. Namely, less time with our family and friends, less time traveling and exploring, less time to just be okay and more time for frustration, more time being scared, more time for worry.I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of Moms Don't Have Time To: A Quarantine Anthology, which was edited by the creator of the award...

What a year we have lived, right? And it's still going. Ugh.During this time, Zibby put together a fantastic anthology of stories from a number of authors. And not just moms either. While many of the writers are women, there are a few male writers in there as well and I think dads alike would appreciate the writing. A few stories made me laugh out loud, some I did not click with at all, but the different experiences are what make this collection great. This book would make a fantastic gift for f...

Thank you Skyhorse Publishing and ShreveWilliams PR for the gifted copy.Right before the pandemic hit last year, I had started attending Zibby Owen's literary salons in NYC. I had already been listening to her podcasts - which I still do - but attending those salons and other book events were something I looked forward to and hope that one day in the future will be able to happen again. If you have never had the chance to meet Zibby - she is amazing and a true cheerleader for the literary world....
