Mom Milestones
$30.00
Description
A humorous celebration of mum milestones big and small across all parenting stages from newborn to elementary school, with warm and relatable illustrations from cartoonist, doctor, and mum Grace Farris.
Mum records her baby's milestones, but what about her own? Where is the celebration of mum's transformation?
Beginning with one-day-old mum, who may feel like she is learning a new language, Mom Milestones is a love letter to the myriad ways mums grow and adapt to motherhood. Here are significant firsts: First sleepless night. First walk with baby. First mum friend. Skills learned – how to soothe baby (sometimes); how to coax a preschooler into taking medicine. Mum's likes (adapting pop songs to lullaby format; gathering intelligence from other mums) and dislikes (emptying the lunch box with mystery smells; requests for video games). There's Bedtime: The Board Game; crafts mum enjoys (no glitter or glue, thanks!); and the ABCs of motherhood (E for ennui).
While there might not be a road map for motherhood, Mom Milestones tracks both the memorable and slightly forgettable guideposts along the way – sunrises, snack plates, cuddles, laughter, and astonishment – because, as the saying goes, the days are long, but the years are short.
