Memoirs of a Moddler

This open, honest, and upbeat journal-style parenting memoir is taken from Samantha Scanlon's blog chronicling her frustrating, challenging, and at times hilarious life with a toddler.

Being a parent is hard. It doesn't matter if you're a new parent, a veteran parent, or even if you have a doctorate in child development. There is no easy or right way to parent. The only thing you can do is show up, on the good days and especially the bad. Samantha shows it's okay to use funny phrases to describe your children. It's okay not to like your offspring 100 percent of the time. It's okay to think your child is an asshole if they're acting like one. Being open and honest about every aspect of raising children is okay. She hopes as you read through these first-hand stories of the crazy things toddlers sometimes do, that you are able to find humor in the ridiculous, disgusting, and very real challenges she faced as a stay-at-home mom.

There are so many parents out there who feel completely isolated, believing they are all alone in their struggles. But you are not! We are all on this parenting journey together, raising the future generation the best we possibly can.
