Happy Broken Crayons Katie Yackley Moore

Katie Yackley Moore is a self-declared hot mess. After having four babies in four years, including twins, there were days that she couldn't remember whether or not she brushed her teeth, let alone to think about what she wanted to accomplish as a human being. She knows what it feels like to be stained, spent and sleep deprived to forget that she had any other name than MomMomMomMomMomMommmmmaaaaa. In this essay collection, she peels back the Instagram filter and exposes the real, raw, unapologetic and strikingly beautiful look at motherhood, relationships and life. Happy Broken Crayons features gritty, honest and sometimes hilarious articles, letters and tangents as found on her Naked Momma blog as well as pieces she wrote for Scary Mommy, HuffPost Parents, Mamalode and Chesapeake Family Life Magazine. Wherever you find yourself on this journey of adulting and/or surviving when you never seem to have enough time, energy or hands, please join her in finding the joy in staying afloat. Here's to the treading. Here's to our tribes. Here's to caffeine. Here's to imperfection. Here's to knowing that we are not alone on the journey. Here's to the glorious reminder that broken crayons still color.
