Once Upon A Mother: The untold tales of motherhood

About this ebook
Once Upon A Mother is a personal perspective on the transition to motherhood. I write about things that I wish I could have read or heard years ago before stepping into my new role as a mother to two beautiful kids. For mothers-to-be, I wish you find this book very enlightening. I hope it gives you a more realistic and balanced view of this biggest gamble called motherhood. For new mothers, first I hope reading my experiences will make you laugh. This motherhood business is enormously frustrating and challenging, but the best thing we can do is to have a sense of humour about it. Second, I hope you can connect and relate to my experiences, and perhaps draw some strength and consolation. You're not alone in this wild ride. We are in this together.
