The story behind the rhyme

The idea of this book came about when my daughter was around 3 months old. The demands and challenges of motherhood had resulted in me reaching my breaking point. One day, while my daughter was napping, I opened my laptop and started typing. This stream of consciousness just flowed out onto my screen and I strangely felt lighter for it. This breaking point was my turning point as I started to document a lot of the daily happenings motherhood brought; the good, the bad, the mundane, the hilarity and everything in between. Quickly, my laptop ramblings organically started becoming more poetic and before I knew it, I had the makings of a book. These poems were not only cathartic, they also helped me gain perspective on being a mother. 'First Rhyme Mom' is being written as a series in the 'real time' growth of my daughter, who is now 8 months old. The first book concludes at her being 6 months old, and I am already writing the second book which will chronicle motherhood from 7 to 12 months.

Wow! That's the best way to describe this book of rhymes. I really loved the humor during a trying time for many of us moms. This will be a great gift for new moms too. One of my favorites is Baby Brain..."deeping sleepy"!!!!! Reminds me of that forgetful brain I had as well. Thanks for your wittiness in creating this book.

What a great book packed full of lovely poems that describe the journey of motherhood so brilliantly. They’re heartfelt and funny and just so dam real! It would make a fantastic gift for a friend who just found out she was expecting, or It would also give a new mummy a good laugh in those sleepless, caffeine fuelled days/weeks after having a baby. What a fab book!
