Why Mummy Drinks: The Journal

By Gill Sims

Make every day funny with the riotous journal companion to Gill Sims’ smash hit Sunday Times bestseller Why Mummy Drinks.

You’re the proud owner of a journal called Why Mummy Drinks, so you almost certainly have no time at all for meditation, mindfulness or self-care (either the self-help sort or the euphemistic sort). This journal isn’t about promising to make you a better person, or a happier one, or a thinner one or even a wiser one, because there’s nothing wrong with the person you are. What it will do, is give you somewhere you can record your memories for the year. Or you can just skip straight to the drink recommendations at the end of each month. Totally up to you.

Tired of the daily school drop off struggle? Needing a cold glass of pinot after parents’ evening? Mummy knows exactly how you’re feeling.

Recount and reflect on the ups and downs, the joys and the trials of motherhood with this honest and laugh-out-loud journal companion. Featuring charming illustrations and creative prompts, as well as Mummy’s hilarious reflections throughout the year, this journal is the perfect gift for Mums everywhere.
