About this ebook
This collection of vintage-with-a-twist artwork offers a fresh serving of hilarious commentary on the joys, challenges, and cocktail hours of motherhood.
From the fundamentals (WOW! I get to give birth AND change diapers!) to putting food on the table (you see them as pies . . . I see them as cries for help) to dealing with childhood questions (because I’m the mother . . . that’s why) and strategies for taking the edge off (now be a dear and fetch mommy her flask), Taintor expertly captures the funny, frantic, and honest thoughts that most moms have experienced, with an attitude mothers everywhere will welcome.
