The Diaper Diaries: The Real Poop on a New Mom’s First Year by Cynthia L. Copeland
Did we need another humorous guide on new motherhood? After reading this book, you’ll agree with a resounding yes. This book is just simply hysterical. I can’t think of a better stress relief during those first few sleepless sanity-raving months of a baby’s life than this book. Copeland even provides a valuable service by saving new moms loads of money by creating a nifty paraphernalia chart with “instead of buying” and “just use” columns. For instance, instead of buying a ridiculously expensive overpriced play station, just use an empty box. Expensive toys guaranteed to provide hours of enjoyment? Rolls of toilet paper. Any new mom will love this book, and pass it on.
