Celebrating femininity and empathy through images and words
We’re celebrating our book’s one month old birthday today, and looking back on the excitement of the past month. Although sales of the book haven’t covered the production costs as yet we’ve been so heartened by the wonderful reviews and support we’ve had so far.
I’d like to say thanks to all the folk who have bought a book, helped to publicise it and spread the word… We’re sending an ‘electronic’ bunch of flowers to you all.
Here’s a guest post that I wrote for the Story of Mum blog. It explains a little of the background to how ‘Musings on Mothering’ came about. http://www.storyofmum.com/content/im-mum-and-book-birther-1295 Enjoy!
As with so many villages and small towns in the UK, our post office is regularly threatened with closure because it’s not meeting with enough of its ‘targets’. For someone like me, a mum with two littlies and no second car, a local post office that I can walk to is invaluable. So we’re supporting our local post office by sending out books (most days) come rain or shine… The super-slick distribution service that is Mother’s Milk Books is powered by my legs, and the buggy wheels…! We go out in most weathers, and if the weather’s fine we stop off at the playground afterwards. Now how many other book distributors do that?
