The first time I stumbled upon a Science of Parenthood cartoon while scrolling through my Facebook feed, I totally chortled. Then, I went into a deep, dark rabbit hole looking for more. Must. have. moooooore.

These ladies get it.

They know firsthand the absurdity that goes along with motherhood and they give us the power to laugh our asses off at it instead of dissolving into a puddle of tears and self pity.

I was so excited to hear they were coming out with a book and even more excited to get the chance to interview them and pick their brains about how they got started, their move into hybrid publishing, the quest for balance, and so much more.

Have you ever met someone on the interwebs and immediately said to yourself This is one of my people? That is exactly how I feel about Janine of Little Rabbit Wears. I immediately loved her style when someone posted a link to her squeal-worthy vintage-inspired girls boutique on Facebook (she had me at vintage). And then I emailed her to see if she wanted to work together and she was so honest and real and excited, I just wanted to hug her through the computer.

I’m incredibly excited to let her share with you guys how she turned her love of shopping into a paycheck—I’m pretty sure it will get some wheels turning in more than a few heads…

My favorite easy reads of all time are the Shopaholic series of books by Sophie Kinsella. I could totally identify with the (somewhat) bumbling, yet stylish main character who loved to spend. Before kids, buying myself treats at the mall was a great pick-me-up. Now that I’m a mama of two, browsing online from the comfort of my bed in my bathrobe while scooping up sale items for my son and daughter has become my new way of relaxing. I love it. I always have. Furthermore, I freaking love a bargain. Seeing closets jammed full of interesting and fun pieces, dresser tops with adorable accessories, and a sweetly organized sock drawer makes me smile. What can I say?
