You and I, as Mothers: A Raw and Honest Guide to Motherhood Kindle Edition

by Laura Prepon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 463 ratings
“[Prepon] returns to the written word with this heartfelt, honest look at motherhood, styled as both informative guidebook and raw memoir.” —Entertainment Weekly

 

When actor, director, and author Laura Prepon first became a mother, she felt raw, full of stress, and blindsided. She sought out resources to help navigate this huge life transition, but only found books about childcare with almost nothing on the shelves about momcare. So, Laura decided to write the book she was looking for.

 

You and I, as Mothers: A Raw and Honest Guide to Motherhood is part memoir, part handbook, as Laura digs into her own unconventional upbringing and investigates how it shaped her as a person and as a mother, with intimate stories and never-before-shared anecdotes brought forth in an effort to understand our collective experience as mothers. The book is packed with practical tips for moms of any age, at any stage of motherhood, such as stress reduction techniques, self-care, protecting one’s partnership, asking for help, and getting a global perspective on maternity. Also included are easy and delicious recipes, from ideas for kids-friendly food, to romantic dinner dates, and batch-cooking favorites that will help any parent feed their family.

Unfiltered, honest, and insightful, Laura encourages the reader to acknowledge their challenges, embrace their strengths, and celebrate their victories as we navigate the greatest adventure of all: motherhood.

“Every mother, partner, and friend can benefit from the evocative and hard-earned wisdom within these pages.” —Mila Kunis

“A powerful multi-hyphenate manifesto examining the most important and often overlooked realities of modern motherhood, written with wit, extraordinary grace, and real guts.” —Amber Tamblyn

“A must-read for new mothers. You can literally turn to any page and get that little nugget of wisdom to get you through the day.”―Danielle Brooks, singer and actress on Orange Is the New Black

I’m super excited to read this book. The only reason I’m taking a star off is because I received the book with some damage in the corner. This is not the first time (as of recently) I have ordered something off Amazon that’s come with some sort of damage. I won’t be returning though because the inside of the book is fine.

    Laura Prepon knows just what we as mothers and women need to hear. I truly enjoy her work and since discovering her Youtube channel, my life has been transformed. After reading the Stash Plan I set out to eat healthier for my family and for myself. In this book Laura has talked about many topics that women keep to themselves. I appreciate how she put everything out in the open and encourages the reader to not feel shamed or embarrassed about any of it and that we are all in it together as mothers.

    This book is amazing. LAUREN is talented and when I first read an article she talked in about postpartum anxiety that's when I got my answers about what I had as well after the birth of my son.
    Loved every page of this book. 💗

    This book is great, reading is easy, practical and dynamic. The subjects addressed are not found in other books of the same genre. In addition to being a wonderful actress, she also wrote extremely useful books to help people, and this book in particular I highly recommend.

    From the moment I picked this book up and read the first few lines, I just knew it was going to be good. Extremely personal and completely honest about a lot of things most people would consider “taboo”. This is going to help so many first time mothers, and already mothers with whatever struggles they are facing. Nobody dares to talk about this stuff openly. So, I’m glad Laura has paved the way for people to be open and honest about their personal experiences. Brilliant.

    Laura took me on an emotional rollercoaster. Her honest, personal & powerful, recollections had me sobbing into my face-mask at the hairdressers this morning whilst reading.
    Her sensitive descriptions of the fears, panics & pains of being a new mummy (British spelling, D'oh!) pulled at my heartstrings, as she reminded me of how I felt when my daughter was born.
    Making the read extra special are the experiences & advice from her lovely 'Mom squad' & other professionals.
    Thank you Laura, a brilliant, real-life read. I love the food & recipes too x
