This book is an extension of the NOTSOMUMSY brand, featuring thoughtful accounts on motherhood delivered humorously and stylishly, with the unifying message that yes, you are a mum, but you're still you

Through shared stories, witty quips and illustrations, Marcia Leone (aka NOT SO MUMSY) shares the grittier parts of motherhood that have hidden behind the facade of perfection and ease, empowering readers to feel like we're all in this together. It comes from a place of support rather than advice, being uplifting and honest and with a unifying message that we all do it differently, and that's OK. The focus is on changes to life when you become a mum, and empowering women to navigate motherhood their own way.

Broken up into chapters covering the various stages of motherhood, Not So Mumsy takes the reader through pregnancy, birth and the first year (but from the mother's perspective, rather than the child's milestones). Each chapter starts with Marcia sharing parts of her story and experience, and includes easily-digestible break-out boxes and parenting quotes which tie back to the NSM branding on Instagram. Also included are expert tips and helpful links for each of these stages.

Parenting is hard, but it's also beautiful. With its uplifting, witty and honest tone, Not So Mumsy is the mother's group every new mum wants to be part of.
