As a mother, you love your kids. You’d do anything for
them, but chances are, at some point in their childhood,
you’ve probably wondered, “What in the world was I
thinking?” Even if you’ll never admit it, if you’ve ever
wished for Calgon to take you away, then The Motherhood
Diaries is for you!
As the working mother of
three children, ReShonda Tate Billingsley knows motherhood
isn’t a perfect science. She openly shares stories with her
thousands of followers on social media about her children:
thirteen-year-old Mya, the diva whose Instagram post—and
subsequent punishment— went viral; to ten-year-old Morgan,
who has a serious case of middle-child syndrome and a knack
for giving her teachers a few of her mother’s favorite
things; and finally, Myles, a witty and precocious
five-year-old who, as his grandmother says, “has been here
before.” It was while chronicling her journey that she
discovered she wasn’t the only mother who longed for the
days when she could use the restroom in peace, who sometimes
sat in the driveway because she didn’t want to go in the
house, and who sometimes wondered, Is this what I signed
up for? Hence, The Motherhood Diaries was born.
Through humorous and enlightening dialogue and
narrative, ReShonda chronicles her own journey, as well as
reveals candid imperfections of a mother trying to balance
it all. With humorous and heartwarming stories from other
mothers also trying to “get it right,”The Motherhood
Diaries shares candid and honest conversations about the
good, the bad and the downright disastrous path of mothering
in the New Millennium.
