Mother’s Day is this Sunday. So, for those of you who still haven’t bought any gifts (like, I’m presuming my husband), I have some ideas. Starting with by book because if I don’t continue to push it on you then WHAT DID I WRITE IT FOR??
The Mommy Shorts Guide to Remarkably Average Parenting would be a great Mother’s Day gift for yourself, your new mom friend, your pregnant sister-in-law, your cousin who is having her fifth kid any day now (thank god you are not her), etc. Basically, any mom who wants to feel better about their parenting skills.
But don’t just take my word for it…
BuzzFeed says, “It’s funny-as-hell.” Scary Mommy says “it’s hilarious and comforting and a must-have for every mommy you know.” Parents Magazine says, “Once you read it, you want to flag down every mom you know, put it in her hands and say, THIS.”
“Remarkably Average Parenting” is filled with personal stories, funny photo memes, and full color charts and infographics detailing everything from the “breastfeeding pain scale” to your toddler’s dinner plate. I highly recommend it!
But, okay, I’ll give a shout-out to a few other gifts that would be great too.

I’ll most likely be receiving a macaroni necklace or a finger painting for Mother’s Day, but a girl can dream.
