Cold Cups of Tea and Hiding in the Loo: An Honest Look at Parenting

Sleepless nights, being covered in vomit, bottomless laundry baskets - oh, the joys of parenting!

Whatever age your child, this book will remind and encourage you that parenting can be a mixture of joy, worry, frustration, tears, laughter and love. However, when we share and connect with each other, we can breathe a collective sigh of relief that none of us (unlike Mary Poppins) are practically perfect as human beings, never mind as parents.

Annie's openness about parenting is both reassuringly relatable and very funny, and provides a much needed reality check in the midst of the pressure to do it all. So choose vulnerability and have deeper conversations with friends, family and God - even if they do take place over cold cups of tea!
