Lots of big things happening, friends and I want to bring you all in. First, I want to send YOU an advanced reader copy (ARC) of my new book What Do I Want to Be When They Grow Up? (And Other Thoughts from a 40-Something Mom)! Sign up here to get a digital copy before it hits the shelves in print. Okay, on to more fun stuff…
1. Merch!
I created a tiny merch shop with some things I love—that has messaging I love. Like this giant tumbler that will remind you of how awesome you are while you run your kids around town and try to stay hydrated. Or these notebooks where you can write your grocery lists, Christmas lists, or your daily list of all you accomplished—you know, in case you need a little mental health boost. Or even just a pack of post-it notes to jot down a reminder to pick up your medication (but also to remind you that you’re doing a good job).
2. Giveaways!
I’m excited to tell you that as part of the promotion for my new book, I’ll be offering some giveaways to anyone who has pre-ordered it. Free merch items plus copies of other books I’ve written or contributed to (like this humorous mom journal)—some goodies could be coming your way! Also, if you sign up to receive to an ARC (advanced reader copy), you’ll be automatically entered into the giveaway.
3. Zoom chats!
I loooooove talking with other women and moms about… well, all the things. So, if you gather a group of girlfriends together for a book club or even just a casual mom chat, let me know! If you pre-order the book beforehand, I’ll pop in via zoom and we can have a glass of wine and talk about the perimenopause sweats, default parenting, raising teenagers, SAHM life… whatever you want to talk about—I’m in! Sign up via this link to receive an ARC (advanced reader copy) and I’ll take it from there.
What Do I Want to Be When They Grow Up? (And Other Thoughts from a 40-Something Mom) was written for you. You, the mom in her 40s wondering what’s next. You, the mom struggling with the crippling loneliness of motherhood and wondering if she’s doing a good job. You, the default parent who is carrying the unbearable weight of the mental load on her own. You, the woman who is watching her body change drastically in real time and wondering WTF is happening and why she’s sweating when it’s 13 degrees outside. You, the mom who gave up her career to raise her kids but soon they’ll all be off, being adults on their own, and you’re starting to wonder if maybe it’s your turn to have the spotlight now.
This book is for all of us, and I’m so excited to share it with you. Pre-order What Do I Want to Be When They Grow Up? (And Other Thoughts from a 40-Something Mom) today via Amazon, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, and Target. Sign up to receive an advanced copy here.
