A smart, sexy, alternately funny and heartbreaking look at balancing art and motherhood, told in the artists' own words. Do you have a toddler seat strapped in the back of the tour van?

Mamaphonic is an anthology about mothering and the creative process. The book includes confessions and conversations about the true, exhilarating, entertaining, and difficult aspects of remaining creative while raising kids.

Smart, witty and a relief
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a great collection of essays from different women in widely varying creative fields. Not a "how to" so much as a balm for the exhausted new mother's soul.

If you're at all familiar with the Hip Mama website or the Mamaphonic website, then you know that this book rocks! This book is a wonderful anthology filled w/ honest excerpts about women's lives. Some of the essays are heartbreaking and poignant and others will make you laugh so hard that you'll cry. I'm going to give this book to all my friends with kids. It's a perfect gift. If you liked Bitch in the House, Slacker Mom or read zines like like Edgy Catin' Mama, Hip Mama, or East Village Inky then you'll "get" what these mamas are saying. Read and enjoy!
