There’s an inclination in motherhood to dial this whole gig we are doing up to ten, scrapbook it up real nice, and then add a Pinterest bow on top. Feel free to blame the internet for that, but we here at The Sisterhood are not immune. We have the photographic cringe-worthy evidence to back it up. But newsflash, friends: perfectly imperfect is the new black. Check out the following exhibits of our striving for the elusive motherhood pinnacle of perfection. Trust us, we are laughing on the inside.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Exhibit C:
But lucky for us (and YOU!), we found a group of friends who are laughing with us, not just at us. That’s why we are so excited to be part of a new anthology that’s all about the art of being perfectly imperfect. Jen Mann of the People I Want to Punch in the Throat blog masterminded this anthology. She has books on the New York Times bestseller list, so we basically begged to be included. With 37 funny stories about women who have tried—and failed—to achieve perfection, we know you won’t just love it but laugh your way through it too. Better yet, we know you will feel like you have found the “little black dress” of motherhood. This book fits just right and makes us feel great! We want to carry it with us everywhere! We know you will too!
You can order your very own copy to carry everywhere.
I Just Want to Be Perfect (I Just Want to Pee Alone Book 4)
So feel free to order a copy of the book, either paperback or Kindle, and leave a review if you really want to be a pal. It’s a great book for the bottom of your beach bag and will make you laugh (we promise!) whether you are chilling by the pool, hitting the beach, or shuttling kids to camp. In fact, one could argue it’s the perfect accessory for wherever you’ll be hanging out this summer.
Thank you as always for reading!
