Moms everywhere know just how crazy the first year of motherhood can be.
There are ups, there are downs; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you may even want to pull out your hair. In the end, you’ll look back and hopefully have a good sense of humour about your first year as a mother.
Alison Wong created a comic series called “New Mom Comics” in an effort to illustrate her first year as a mom, and the results are hilarious!
