I made a booboo

I made a Booboo: Once upon a time there was a woman who used to sleep eight hours a day and laze around on weekends. Her clothes were mostly free of gross body fluids and her bag rarely had biscuit crumbs. Then she decided to have a baby.

With books and the internet for friends – and a husband who answered commonsensically – she thought she had it all sorted. But then her baby arrived, and turned everything upside down!

The baby made it his mission to present a new surprise every day. Mommy, after fighting hours of helplessness, came to learn that parenting was a lost battle. There was only one way to survive – keep calm, laugh on and write when the baby dozes.

The result: I Made a Booboo, a rollicking account of the trials, tribulations and occasional triumphs of a first-time mom.

P.S: Everyone did live happily ever after (albeit only when the baby willed so).

“I made a booboo presents the good, bad and ugly of parenting peppered with wit and heart warming moments.” – THE INDIAN EXPRESS

“The book sheds the preachy tone, which is almost invariably resorted by countless parenting blogs and books. It’s an honest confession from a mom.” – THE TRIBUNE

I made a booboo – A Mom who had parenting all sorted – until she had a baby, is a hilarious and honest bestselling story of first time parenting. It has received a lot of media acclaim and love worldwide and was recently launched in Amsterdam.
