The mom behind the illustrated:

In this blog, you’ll often see me like this:

Depiction purely for humourical reasons.

But if you were to take a picture of me unstaged and unbiased,
I’d look more like this:

So realistic it's scary.

And frankly, that’s hot.

Also, we live in western Canada which Is why I spell it ‘humourical’ and not ‘humorical’.
British influence you see.

Did you know pregnancy is awesome. Really.

Check out her birth story here.
Check out her almost birth story here.
By naming her “Rowan”, we have doomed her for a lifetime of saying “I’m a girl.” That’s ok. You screwed up naming your kid too.

Have you ever seen a finer group?
Didn’t think so.
I hope you enjoy my colourful depiction of life as a new mom

Promise.

Welcome again!

    This blog was started in 2011 by artist and illustrator Jana Curll during maternity-leave with her second child.
    In 2012 it was opened up to other masochistic parents (or observers of parents) who feel compelled to draw their stories.
    Bless us, one and all.
