I’m so excited to be spilling the beans today about a new project and a BIG, HUGE, GINORMICAL giveaway! For the last few months, I’ve been working behind the scenes developing a new community for moms called No Mother Is Perfect. The inspiration came from all the wonderful feedback we’ve received from readers of our book The Mother of All Meltdowns. While promoting the book, we discovered a very common theme. Mothers don’t openly talk about the “not so great” moments of parenthood; the times when they meltdown and absolutely lose their minds. To do so would reveal their flaws; exposing that they are not the picture-perfect mothers often seen on the pages of a magazine. So we created a place where the perfectly imperfect mother can go to let down her guard and talk about the meltdowns, struggles, and less rosy aspects of being a mom…You are cordially invited to join and share whatever is on your mind! Here are several popular groups:
