Do Your Laundry or You'll Die Alone by Becky Blades

Practical, motherly, hilarious advice about everything your adult daughter still needs to learn. About dreams. About life. About laundry.

No matter how hard they try, parents never have time to teach their children everything they need to know before they leave home. Luckily, Becky Blades has compiled the best tidbits of advice into one thought-provoking, conversation-starting book that she wrote for her first-born daughter as she was preparing to leave home for college.

Covering everything from posture to finances, with a hint of motherly sass, Do Your Laundry or You'll Die Alone is beautifully illustrated and the perfect funny graduation gift for daughters leaving the nest, or anyone in your life who could use a little bit of coming-of-age common sense. Lined pages at the back of the book allow space for you to leave your own thoughtful messages.

A sneak peek at Mom's advice:

Marry smart. Don't marry for money. Beware of marriage advice.

Park in the shade in the summer and in the sunshine in the winter.

There's nothing worse than a smart girl who acts dumb.

The perfect bridal shower, graduation, or just because gift for women and teens
