Review Quotes:
"Motherhood can feel lonely sometimes, and it's helpful to know that there's others out there walking this journey, too. This journal gives moms a 'room of one's own' to share thoughts, fears, and dreams, while also reminding us that we aren't alone. We're in this thing together -- unwashed hair, stained yoga pants, messy houses and all." --Christine Organ, associate editor at Scary Mommy, author of Open Boxes: The Gifts of Living a Full and Connected Life.

Review Quotes:
" Motherhood is messy--it's also a wonderful gift. When you need to be reminded of that gift part, open up this journal, and jot down your thoughts in crayon or spaghetti sauce, whatever you have available at the time. No judgment here, friends... just love. Karen gets it. She is a hilarious writer who also knows that, even on our best days, we can use a little help." --Leslie Means, founder of Her View From Home (www.herviewfromhome.com)

Review Quotes:
"New motherhood is the motherlode of chaos, and we moms need all the help and support we can get. Karen's journal offers just that: a space for us to vent about the cluster that is parenting, to document our small but momentous victories, and to laugh along with other moms who totally relate. All moms need this honest and hilarious space - written by a fellow mom who's been there and done that - to put it all down and laugh at the whirlwind that is raising tiny versions of ourselves." --Laura, Founder of Sammiches and Psych Meds

Review Quotes:
" It's tough being a mom and this funny guided journal helps you get through it with a sense of humor. The book provides candid, unfiltered prompts about motherhood and encourages you to find alone time, even just briefly, to write down a few sentences." --Rachel Cavanaugh, Bustle
