Motherhood May Cause Drowsiness - Softcover
"From start to finish, this book is a gem. I can't think of a mother who shouldn't read it, whether you have a newborn or grown children, you will totally relate to these funny and heartwarming stories. This second edition includes 18 new essays from some amazing authors. Having bought the first 'Motherhood May Cause Drowsiness,' I was delighted to read this new edition. One of my favorite quotes from the book: Organic homemade cakes made out of kale and promises. This book is funny and then funnier.
"If you are a sleep deprived mom or know one, this is a book you definitely want to read. I know my best friend with a new baby is getting one instead of onesies and baby bottles!"--Stephanie Marsh, We Don't Chew Glass
***
"The second edition was as delightful and inspiring as the first! A sweet reminder that I'm not crazy for always being exhausted--and that laughing about all the mess is a REALLY good thing. Thanks, ladies--you nailed it again!"--Meredith Spidel, Mom of the Year
***
"Highly enjoyed my advance copy of 'Motherhood May Cause Drowsiness.' From funny stories, like Lea Grover's 'Bedtime Lament,' to practical advice such as Newlin de Rojas' 'Seven Sacred Sleep Tenets,' there is something for every mom in this book. Child induced sleepiness is something to which every mother can relate and it is reflected perfectly in this collection of stories. Every mom needs to hear that they are not alone and that is just what they will get from this funny and touching book. A perfect Mother's Day gift or New Mother gift."--Erin Buhr, Bambini Travel
***
"Those who are fighting the battle of sleep deprivation will more than relate to this collection of stories from the trenches. Annie Swingen perfectly describes the feelings of guilt and self-doubt in the 'The New Parent Guilt Trip.' Renea Dearing-Dijab humorously admits to judging others before having kids herself--something most parents have done. There are plenty of laughs and commiseration for new parents that should get them through those wee hours of the morning."--Bunny B., 'Picky buyer'
***
"The stories are sometimes thought-provoking ('What Mommies Need: Hint: It's Not Sex'), sometimes laugh-inducing, and--most importantly--ALWAYS honest. This book is highly-relatable, easy-to-digest read for all moms out there. Totally recommended!"--Jessica Burdg

From the Author:
Motherhood May Cause Drowsiness [first edition] is a collection of "momoirs" written by forty moms who are here to make you laugh, shed a tear or two, and feel connected to other moms who are going through the struggles of everyday life with children. And although we live in different parts of the world, in different houses (and we have different hair styles), we have one common thread: WE DON'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP! Welcome to our world, and yours!
From the Back Cover:
"The reason I've been exhausted since my uterus opened for business is explained in this collection of hilarious and touching stories.... Put this on your bedside table and read a quick story while you're up at night breastfeeding, waiting to be called back to your preschooler's room to hear a sub-par knock knock joke, or policing a tween slumber party. Whether you're a mom to a newborn or are a veteran member of the sleep-deprived club, you'll find yourself on the pages of Motherhood May Cause Drowsiness" [first edition].--Susan Maccarelli, Beyond Your Blog
"For many moms, landing enough Zs can be the equivalent of attempting to capture the wind with a butterfly net. Motherhood May Cause Drowsiness [first edition] is a no-holds-barred anthology that seizes it all: the sweet, the funny, and the beautifully tragic moments of sleep deprivation that unify us all. For best results, this book should be read while sipping brandy-enhanced hot cocoa in the wee hours of the night--when everyone else is asleep." -- Gina Fenton, Extreme Mom
