Book Tour: Day 8: Melbourne Mumma

 



It's Day 8 of the Cocktails at Naptime Book tour and it's Melbourne Mumma's turn to host the girls. She's reviewing the book, interviewing Gillian and Emma AND giving away a book or tow in her competition. Go Mumma!

Extract:

"I was stopped in my tracks.  Cocktails, at naptime? 

At naptime?? 

Genius.

Why the hell hadn’t I thought of that before? 

Based on the title alone, my instincts told me that Emma and Gillian – the two clever Mums who wrote the book - just may know a thing or two that perhaps I didn’t.  So I volunteered to read Cocktails and Naptime – for myself, and for the benefit of several new Mums and mums-to-be I know.  Heck, for all Mums in the world at large…


And it turned out to be an eye-opening, absolutely hilarious read from start to finish!  Emma and Gillian leave no stone unturned.  All the important topics new Mums need to know about are covered: the extraction process birth, breastfeeding (behold the Alpha Boob!), midwifes (and yes, I encountered several that should definitely have been prison officers), your emotions, post-birth sex, getting back into shape, yummy mummies, life as a ‘Mum’, returning to work."

  1. I love the concept too. When I lived in La Jolla, we actually had a Friday after school cocktail thing going. It was so much fun.
