Laura Bennett is not a soccer mom or a PTA mom or a helicopter mom—and she's certainly not mother of the year. Another breed of mother entirely, Laura is surely more Auntie Mame than June Cleaver. As a busy mother of six, Laura is on an impossible mission: raising a brood of fast-moving, messy, wild sons in the jungles of Manhattan. So what other choice does she have than to sit back, grab a martini, and let the boys be, er, boys?

In Didn't I Feed You Yesterday?, Laura gives her irreverent take on modern motherhood and proves that a strong sense of humor and an even stronger sense of self are the mother's milk of sanity. In a series of refreshingly candid and hilarious anecdotes, she unapologetically breaks every rule in the Brady Bunch playbook: She gives her kids junk food, plays favorites, and openly admits to having "a genetic predisposition to laissez-faire parenting." Children, she observes, don't need constant supervision from neurotic, perfectionist parents. Allow kids to make mistakes and entertain themselves and they'll turn out just fine—even if you do sometimes forget to pick them up from school. 

Beyond the mayhem of a life among males, Laura celebrates the glories of womanhood with a generous helping of wit and style. She gives thanks to the fashion gods for the essentials—red lipstick, Manolo Blahniks, and Lycra shapewear—but reminds us that true style comes from an inner compass that points directly at oneself. In every aspect of life, Laura gives one simple, powerful piece of advice: "Dress like you want it or stay home." 

Laura Bennett wowed viewers of Project Runway’s Season Three with her own politically incorrect brand of humor and sophisticated designs. Now a regular contributor on the Today show, she also writes a column on The Daily Beast and is working on a television adaptation of her book for FOX. Born and raised in New Orleans, Bennett received her undergraduate degree in architecture from the University of Houston and attended the graduate program in the same field at Columbia University. Laura lives in New York City with her husband and six children, fittingly in the Fashion District.
