Description
Book SynopsisAn exquisitely illustrated uplifting self-care guide for mothers by the bestselling author of When Life is Not Peachy
. 'Pip's words are like a knowing hug of reassurance telling you everything is going to be OK, and making you think kind thoughts about yourself and the parenting you're doing.' CHRISSIE SWAN
Mums are the greatest yet least appreciated humans and it's time they had their own huggable book all about mum care!
Whether your child is 2 or 20, it can be easy to get lost in day-to-day survival mode and forget the long game - the magic you have already made and that they really will be OK in the end.
Days Like These is an uplifting guide to supporting yourself and other mums you know. Let bestselling author Pip Lincolne remind you that it's fine to go slow as she helps you shift expectations (so many expectations!), drop the guilt, choose fresh ways to measure success, find yourself again and remember the things that delight you in the everyday. Because you are not alone and sometimes we all need a reminder that we're doing our best on this life-changing journey called motherhood.
