Funny, but with an edge that hits on female issues more frankly than I would be willing to write about, but yet they are clean, which is important to me. Anna Lind Thomas looks for the stories in the everyday. She doesn't take herself too seriously, but yet can deliver some thought-provoking comments.

The book was a quick read and humorous; it was a good diversion from my normal reading life and I enjoyed it. I'm not a big humor reader, but I do enjoy the occasional book that will make me laugh or at least smile.

However, near the end of the book she wrote something that I hope will stick with me. It is not humorous; it is sobering and yet hopeful. Anna wrote this book recently so the pandemic is present in everyone's minds. She says this,
"This morning over coffee, I chatted with my mom and said, a little sarcastically, 'I wonder what my girls will remember about a pandemic.'
"'You', she said, pausing to take a sip, 'They'll mostly remember you.'"

This hit me squarely; the pandemic has affected all of us so much and it's easy to want to blame everyone else for the things that have happened, the relationships that have been hurt, etc., but what our children are seeing is us and how we handle it will be the thing that they remember. This can apply to so many different things.

One more quote on caring about what other people, especially strangers think of us:
"It's always the simple, mundane moments, the tiniest details of my beloveds that give me the most courage...It's kind of embarrassing when you think about it. Who needs to be liked by strangers when so loved by little girls audacious enough to ask for avocado with salt right before bed."

I enjoyed this book and wouldn't be opposed to reading another book by Anna Lind Thomas

I received this book from Thomas Nelson via NetGalley and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really like the cover of this book. Once you have read the book you realise that it’s a fun representation of the author, and is an apt depiction of women in general trying to do a hundred things at once.

I’ll be totally honest I hadn’t really heard of Anna Lind Thomas before reading this book. I guess some would say well why did I want to read about her and her life? The thing is the book may be about Anna, but, the majority of us will identify with a few or rather quite a lot of the situations she describes. I had fancied reading a non fiction book, and this one has Entertainment listed as a genre too and after reading and loving Tova Leigh’s book, You Did What, I was hoping this one would have some funny stories within it too, and it did. Though all the stories in this book are about incidents that happened to Anna and her family. I easily slipped into the book and really enjoyed the writing style of the book, it really feels like Anna is chatting to you, telling you the stories herself.

I found it both amusing, yet relieving to know that I am not the only person who ends up in fits of giggles at really inopportune, inappropriate moments. A piece of advice when reading the book, be aware it will make you smirk, snicker, giggle and laugh out loud to, so if you’re on public transport be ready for a strange look or two.

I could totally identify with the strong inner need to but the latest technology and items when you have a baby. That overwhelming need that has you crawling out of bed to check your baby is breathing okay at 3am in the morning! I also laughed knowingly at the whole lying about how much something would cost! Not wanting to wear jewellery your other half has given you as you really hate it but at that stage in your relationship you didn’t want or dare to upset his feelings and tell him what you really thought.

I thought this book was a really enjoyable collection of real life stories. It’s written in such a way that you end up feeling that Anna is a good friend and someone you can genuinely identify with, along with recognising and seriously empathising with some of the key events in her life that she share in the book. At first, I had thought these funny stories would be a collection of tales that Anna had gathered from other people as well as her sharing some of her own, but this is all about Anna, her family and things, sometimes unusual things and other times mundane every day things that have happened.

Summing up I really did enjoy this book. It was refreshingly different and I would certainly look at any other book written by this author.

This book wasn't really to my taste, but I can still appreciate the writing. I can also appreciate the sentiment that 'everything will be funny (eventually)'. The book really focuses on the idea of not taking yourself too seriously and that, eventually, anything that is big and embarrassing, yet actually insignificant, in your present life, will no longer matter. A great effort and a valuable lesson!

I have to admit, I didn’t know anything about Anna Lind Thomas before reading this book, but really loved getting to know her as I read each story.

Anna has a great way of connecting with her readers in this book. Her prose is highly readable and entertaining. The stories themselves are insightful and hilarious. I found them not only funny, but also relatable at times. Lind really leans into her vulnerability in a few of the stories and is brutally honest, which I really appreciated.

I planned to indulge in just one or two of these feel good shorts each day, but couldn’t help myself and ended up gobbling up the entire book in just one sitting.

Sometimes the stories had a bit too much rambling, but for the most part I enjoyed them.

I highly recommend this one for fans of Anna’s writing, and anyone looking for a lighthearted book filled with giggles.

Thank you Nelson Books and NetGalley for the ARC!

I absolutely loved it! In this age where it's so taboo to discuss things, Anna throws real life out on the table in all it's uncomfortable, wide-open glory. It's exactly what the world needs right now. Some of my favorite stories are from her (mis)adventures in motherhood-land. Life if messy...it's time to celebrate that. The book has a little bit of openness, a little bit of taking life as it comes, and a whole lotta humor!

I am giving this book a 5 out of 5 because it made me laugh out loud multiple times. So hard I cried…twice. I don’t know if I was just in the right state of mind to have this book affect me like that, but anyway there is, this book is FUNNY! It is an easy read, nothing really to think through while reading it, but just some lighthearted fun reading. (Oh, and this probably will be more funny to women, who will be able to better relate to some of the content).

I will mention that if you are buying this book to get some great Biblical insight, or are very conservative, there may be some content you will not agree with and might not be able to get past. If I had to rate this as a Christian book, it would get 2 stars. But like I mentioned earlier, this is a light read, and I believe, just meant to make you smile.

We'll Laugh About This (Someday) by Anna Lind Thomas was my introduction to the popular humour writer and it was a warm one. The collection of essays provide random snapshots into the life of a writer, wife, and mother, and all are linked by their very relatability. Several had me chuckling quietly to myself, others right out loud, but I was most taken by the vulnerability and spot on observations of the highs and lows of modern life. Ms Lind takes a very conversational approach in her musings, and I found the entire collection to be honest, and at the same time prolific, in sharing an unfiltered glimpse into the human condition.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Nelson Books for an ARC.

This generation's Erma Bombeck, able to observe life in all it's messy, confusing, silliness, challenges and humor.

I was introduced to Anna Lind Thomas via Facebook and her page Hahas for Hoohas.

The essays were funny, sad, inspiring, and overall human. I am trying to look back at some of the same incidents in my life and see if I can now find the humor in the situation instead of the humiliation. The stories inspire hope.

Good, clean, fun.

Funny and down-to-earth. Anna has a unique view of the world and I'm glad she let us see it from her perspective. Her book made me laugh and also made.me appreciate my own embarrassing stories of life

I've been a fan of Anna Lind Thomas since I came across her blog years ago and then again when her date story went viral. That being said We'll Laugh About This (Someday): is an assortment of essays about her life from childhood through raising a young family. I was disappointed that it wasn't as humorous as I expect from her writing style. Another thing that surprised me about halfway through it became a few essays became religious which makes sense since it's essays about her life. Overall I give this a 2.75 star rating. There are some humorous essays but that's not the theme of the book. I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

I loved Anna's book. I didn't love it for its finesse or lavish wording. I loved it for the raw truth of motherhood, of love and loss, of the reality of day-to-day life. I feel a kindred spirit with Anna in her description of herself: she is absolutely not alone! While her anecdotes always make me laugh or at least smile, it's the way it all points her back to hope and faith in Christ that resonates with me most. Her words reassure me that I'm not alone, that there's more to life than what we can immediately see, and to release the worry. I can't wait to read her next book!
