What were you told about motherhood before you joined this wild ride? That the love you’d experience for your children would surpass anything you’ve ever known? That you’d willingly sacrifice yourself for your kids without a second thought? That your life would be forever altered? I heard all of these things, and they have indeed rung true time and again.
However, there are several common beliefs about parenting that have proven to be far from accurate. Ideas like “parenting brings couples closer,” “it gets easier as time goes on,” and the utterly ludicrous claim that having children keeps you youthful. I once accepted these notions as truth, often questioning what was wrong with me for feeling differently. But after navigating the challenges of parenthood with a few kids in tow, I’ve figured it out: these statements are nothing but vicious lies!
That’s the essence of my latest book, Motherhood Comes Naturally (And Other Vicious Lies). It’s a candid exploration of the myths surrounding the most rewarding yet demanding job one can have. It also highlights the lies that some of us continue passing down to new mothers, almost like a twisted initiation rite. Can you relate? I sincerely hope so. The book launches in just three weeks, and while you could wait to grab a copy at your local bookstore, ordering it now makes much more sense. Why, you ask?
Firstly, it helps my publisher gauge success and determines whether I get to embark on more tour stops. Secondly, it eases my anxiety that no one will buy the book and I’ll just want to hide under the covers forever. Lastly, pre-ordering gives you a chance to participate in an incredible giveaway.
What’s up for grabs? To encourage pre-sales, I’m giving away five fabulous packs filled with goodies from brands like Kelly Moore, Ouidad, Lucky Jeans, and AT&T. Each pack is worth over $1000 and truly amazing—I can’t imagine missing out on this opportunity. Click here for all the details and then go ahead and buy the book!
