Paperback. In this energized second collection, the kids are grown, the carpool is over, and after decades of being Mom-in-Chief, there's suddenly a little more room in the schedule-and a lot more room to wonder: Now what?In Empty Mess: Beyond Supermom, Stephanie Mason-Teague continues her funny, honest exploration of life after kids. This time, she's ready to stop staring at the empty nest and wondering what comes next, and start finding out. Through stories of marriage, friendship, changing hormones, new family roles, and unexpected adventures, Stephanie experiments with letting go of doing it all. Sometimes that means breaking her own rules. Sometimes it means getting on an airplane to Africa. And sometimes it means admitting that hiring someone to paint the house is better than spending two months on a ladder.This isn't a roadmap for reinventing yourself. It's one woman's imperfect, frequently overthought attempt to enjoy the life she already has.Because life beyond Supermom may be a little messy, but it's also filled with possibilities.What people are saying about Empty Mess: "Stephanie's stories are honest and from the heart.

In this energized second collection, the kids are grown, the carpool is over, and after decades of being Mom-in-Chief, there’s suddenly a little more room in the schedule—and a lot more room to wonder: Now what?
In Empty Mess: Beyond Supermom, Stephanie Mason-Teague continues her funny, honest exploration of life after kids. This time, she’s ready to stop staring at the empty nest and wondering what comes next, and start finding out.
Through stories of marriage, friendship, changing hormones, new family roles, and unexpected adventures, Stephanie experiments with letting go of doing it all. Sometimes that means breaking her own rules. Sometimes it means getting on an airplane to Africa. And sometimes it means admitting that hiring someone to paint the house is better than spending two months on a ladder.
This isn’t a roadmap for reinventing yourself. It’s one woman’s imperfect, frequently overthought attempt to enjoy the life she already has.
Because life beyond Supermom may be a little messy, but it’s also filled with possibilities.
