This new collection of vintage-with-a-twist work by Anne Taintor offers up a fresh serving of Anne's signature hilarious commentary on the joys, challenges, and cocktail hours of motherhood. From the fundamentals ( WOW! I get to give birth AND change diapers! ) to putting food on the table ( you see them as pies . . . I see them as cries for help ) to dealing with childhood questions ( because I'm the mother . . . that's why ) and strategies for taking the edge off ( now be a dear and fetch mommy her flask ), Taintor expertly captures the funny, frantic, and honest thoughts that most moms have experienced, with an attitude mothers everywhere will welcome.
Much emulated, never replicated, Anne Taintor first began pairing vintage illustrations with witty sayings 25 years ago. She lives in a 1783 farmhouse in Maine.
