I never meant to write a book. Well, I sort of did. But I didn’t think it would end like this.

I’m a girl who collects hobbies. Knitting, baking, painting, I even used to make my own chapstick. And then last year, a new hobby took over— I wrote a novel.

I was fully prepared for anything motherhood could throw my way. I even had a binder. And then Louis was born.

I’m friends with all kinds of mamas— creative, corporate, granola, you name it. But there’s one type of mama I avoid with all my might.
