Juggling expectations of domestic harmony and parenting perfection with tricky cleaning ladies and even trickier friends, Verity Fortescue has her work cut out for her. Between yoga and the gym, charity morning teas and book club, night classes and helping out at school, Verity is stretched. To find a fresh perspective, Verity starts an "Inner Child Journal". But what use is a diary, Chicken Soup or the Secret if your child is average, potty training doesn't work, your mother thinks you're a sell-out and your husband goes AWOL to find himself. An antidote to self help addiction or overload, Verity's story is a gloves-off and inspiring look at striving, friendship, love and parenting.
There has been a lot written about motherhood. And happiness. A little less about hats. But never before have they been the subject of such a funny and refreshing series of essays. Nothing is too big (health, grief, ageing, work, motivation), or too small (insect bites, talent shows, footwear) for this ambitious book. Readers will be amused and inspired as they ponder life's little pleasures, it's many frustrations and the micro-dilemmas of keeping fit, happy(-ish), calm and sane. With insights on all manner of subjects from how to look busy, negotiating with children and inventing new electronic devices to receiving feedback, wearing hats and being a domestic goddess, this book is a must-read for anyone who likes their coffee strong, their chocolate dark and their children to observe a set bedtime. Life (oops, and motherhood) was never so much fun!
