Meeting a baby is like meeting someone from the internet: you’re used to calling them by a strange nickname and now you have to call them by their real name. The funny and touching caricatures illustrated by Twisteddoodles shed light on the everyday life of parents with a smile. Her designs perfectly capture the unique experience of motherhood and the wide range of emotions it brings.

In this warm and clever book, Maria writes honestly about what it means to become a mother. Combining her words with excellent caricatures, she offers an entertaining view of life as a modern mom. Her observations cover everything from the exhausting early days with twins to the reality of being a working mother.

Refreshing and humorous, this is a wonderful read for parents and expectant mothers.
