Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

When does Mary Effing Poppins arrive? 

Laura Belbin survived hitting her 30s (oh, to be wrinkle-free again), anxiety (just), motherhood (two adorable little shits) and the new body that went with it (a left tit that sags slightly more than the right, anyone?). In Knee Deep in Life she gives a fearless and filthy account of her transformation from no-responsibilities woman to being in demand 24/7, the heartaches and humiliations, and most importantly, her (definitely-pushed-to-the-limits-but-totally-indestructible) marriage to Steve, the man who helped her to hold it together when post-natal depression kicked in.

Full of heart and wit - not to mention swearing that would make a sailor blush - this is the beast of a book Laura intends on riding into the hands of those people who doubt themselves every single day: the ones who have struggled to accept the way they look, the mums-to-be about to find themselves taking their first step towards parenthood and the women bossing it like bad-asses every single day but never getting the credit they deserve. You are more than enough.

Amazing!

I’ve been following Laura on social media for years and was so excited when she announced the launch of the book. She hasn’t disappointed me! There are some empowering and wise words from her throughout the book as well as side splitting humour which encapsulates the wonders of becoming a parent. As a perinatal yoga teacher and birth educator, I will encourage women to listen to this to help them realise the importance of self worth which is often lost along this journey of life and parenthood. Well done Laura! You should be immensely proud x

Funny, heartwarming and gloriously honest

Please write another book! I downloaded this after following the Instagram account, the book sounded like it would be perfect for my friends struggling with being new mums so I wanted to check it out first and thoroughly enjoyed it myself. It is inspiring, very relatable and so well written I feel like the author is now a close friend too! I laughed a lot, cried a little and will definitely download if she writes a second book.
