Will I Ever Pee Alone Again?: Poems for mums
£6.20£6.60 (-6%)
‘Please stop staring at me whilst I’m on the loo
I simply want a peaceful poo.’
In this uplifting, funny and giftable collection of poems, general force for good Emma Conway explores motherhood in all its glory. A mum to two young humans herself, she revisits the days of potty training and toddler tantrums, deep-dives into first days of school and watching your babies grow into little people, and writes frankly about life after having kids, embracing the mum bod and giving zero sods.
Written with huge amounts of warmth and love (and just the right amount of cynicism), this is the reassuring hug-in-a-book all mums need.

I love this book! I knew I would as I have been following Emma for a few years now. I love the honesty and realness of the poems. Family life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, so we just lock ourselves in the bathroom to have a sneaky mars bar and a little cry. I think sometimes we need to hear that we’re not alone in this! Great work Emma! I’ll be sure to pass this on to my friends when I’ve read it again!

A gem of a book full of affirmations that I’m not that bad afterall. That stripes are a mum uniform, that new babies are a mind blowing experience and a leisurely poo is the stuff of dreams. Loving reading through this honest and personal collection of heartfelt observations on life as a mum of small people. A definite gift for all the normal mums of this world. We actually rock!!

Been following Emma on all her social media accounts for a long time now. Bought this as I knew it would be honest, and completely bang on. I was not disappointed! Full of the wit and honest brummy humour I love from her, I’ve already sent the “Mum Friends” one to my best friend as it could not be more true of us. I don’t have alot of time to read so quick poems are perfect. Love a mummy book and this is a great addition to my collection.

This is such a gorgeous collection of poems. I’ve read lots of books and blogs about motherhood, but having these poems that so cleverly shine a light on the reality of being a mum, is just fab. I love how Emma is so honest about family life, and being a woman! It makes me feel normal, like everyone else is experiencing the things I worry about. THANK YOU Emma for writing these poems that have made me smile and reassured me when I’m having a bad day. I’ve bought extra copies to give to my mum mates!

I’ve followed Emma since pretty much the beggining of Brummy Mummy. This collection of poems is so uniquely Emma.
There is something for everyone. I laughed out loud and I welled up too. I nodded along in agreement, and thought ‘this one is my fave’. Until I read the next one and then declared that one the best.
A lovely gift for all of your mum friends, and something to make you smile.

So very relatable and funny. If you think you are alone in some aspects of parenting then please read, it will put your mind at rest in a very witty way. Congratulations Emma ????

After enjoying following Emma on Instagram for a while, I couldn’t wait to read the book.
It’s a good read so far with plenty of relatable, heartwarming and amusing poems around motherhood. A great book for mums to read when we get a rare few minutes to ourselves and whenever we need a reminder other Mums experience similar thoughts
