The Mother-Loving Guide
The Mother-Loving Guide is the honest heads up that I wish I had had and that every first time parent deserves. With plenty of truths, tools to prepare and some humour along the way, instead of birth preparation and infant care, the book focuses, almost exclusively, on the mother/woman/person and those around her.
Through stories and quotes from mothers in the trenches, expert voices and worksheets to tinker with, I hope it will actually prepare first time mums for some of the realities of life with a newborn.
It would also make an awesome gift to an expecting friend! All the benefits of passing the thruths of motherhood on to your friend, without any of the risk to your friendship! Everybody wins!
