Life is Short, Laundry is Eternal

Book Reviews

"...chock full of moments you cannot avoid but smile at, think through, and cry to, as he describes the innermost details of his life as a stay-at-home dad. He exhibits the courage to bare his soul every bit as much as he makes you crack up with his brilliant humor." - more - Manny Hernandez, president | diabetes hands foundation

Hear Tony Rose give his review of my new book Life Is Short, Laundry Is Eternal.

"Benner gained an online following by chronicling his life as a caregiver to his daughter with Type 1 diabetes, yet details about this part of his life don’t appear until the last third of the book. Still, his unabashed “dad humor” brings a distinct charm to his writing without being mawkish or overly sentimental." - more -Erin Shea, Library Journal

Audio Clip - "It's one of the best books I've read... in a long, long time". - Mike Hoskins, Diabetes Mine

My Guest post at 'The Life of a Diabetic'

Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 9:27AM

Chris at 'The Life of a Diabetic' is running a 'Diabetes Parenting Week' feature on his blog and he was kind enough to ask me to contribute. The piece I wrote titled, 'Letting your Kids be Kids even with Diabetes' kicks off the week today.

I wasn't just excited to be a part of what Chris is doing becasue he's a good guy and I like his blog, though that was part of my decision making process. Mainly, I love the idea of blogs that are mostly read by PWD hearing a little bit about the CareGiver side of type I diabetes. I hope you enjoy my take on the subject and if you can, please take a moment to let Chris know that you found his site through 'Arden's Day'.

My back to school posts will begin later this week as Arden doesn't go back to school for a few more days.

Talk to you soon, Scott
