My family humor essays appear regularly in magazine across the United States.

Readers and advertisers love Lela’s humorous take on modern parenting. I’ve had readers tell me they pick up the magazine and flip straight to After The Bubbly. Plus, she never misses a deadline.

Reader Comments for After the Bubbly

Lela Davidson ROCKS!!! My husband and I were cracking up reading her adventures in the blizzard. Oh my goodness, can’t we all relate to vices that don’t count in a state of emergency. Thank you for such incredible entertainment from a fantastic writer!!!

Oh wow, Lela Davidson gets it every time! If she’s reporting her kids conversations faithfully then they are growing up to be every bit as funny as she is, which makes me wish she ran some kind of camp to make your smart ass kids quoteworthy instead of just smart ass!

I’ve really enjoyed Lela Davidson’s droll sense of humor in all of here articles. She’s doing her best as a parent and spouse, and while she does most things well, she’s able to poke fun at herself. We are all fallible. I’m glad there are writers like Anne LaMott and Lela Davidson who admit it. ‘Cause let’s face it, real life is funny.

From your After the Bubbly articles, you sound like the bestest mom ever to me. You’ve got the right idea. We’re living in a time where making kids the center of the universe where they’re the boss and mom’s the friend is believed to be THE right way to raise ‘em.
