MORE PRAISE FOR MOTHERHOOD MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS:
"This [first edition] book should be required reading for parents everywhere. The writers are incredibly honest (and funny) about the challenging parts of Motherhood (much more honest, I think, than many of us are face to face!). I read a lot of the contributor blogs already, and I enjoyed seeing their work in this collection too. A fun read!" Julia Arnold, Manic Mama
"For many moms, landing enough Zs can be the equivalent of attempting to capture the wind in a butterfly net. Motherhood may cause Drowsiness [first edition] is a no-holds-barred anthology that seizes it all: the sweet, the funny, and the oh-so painful and the beautifully tragic moments of sleep deprivation that unify us all, for better or for worse. For best results, this book should be read while sipping brandy enhanced hot cocoa in the wee hours of the night-when you should be asleep." Gina Fenton, Extreme Mom
"Do you have a friend who just has a newborn? Forget a new baby outfit or a massage, this is the only present she needs. The [first edition] book that says you are not alone in your insomnia. Also it gives her a head's up that it doesn't end at 6 months old but maybe at 22. From the sleepless nights when you were pregnant to the battle of the two year old this book sheds the nightlight on battle moms never knew they would face: sleep." Kerri Ames, Undiagnosed But Okay
