light hearted, honest, fun motherhood account

Short and sweet. In my opinion, all new moms need someone like Rose. Truly enjoyable!

Accepting help

Loved how she. graciously shared her willingness to be open to change and embracing it.

Love it.

I love Mindy’s honesty and thought process and it seems very similar to my own. It’s great to hear her experiences and learn from them.

Perfect for when you’re feeling like company but you don’t want to actually talk to anyone

Mindy writes like she’s sitting across the table from you with the mimosas at brunch.

Yes, I said Brunch.

Yes, it has to be that specific stereotypical set-up because brunch is amazing. Brunch is uncomplicated; it doesn’t judge you for showing up with mascara smeared under your eyes, wearing your jammies or your Walkashame heels. Brunch is basic and that doesn’t matter because everyone loves it.

Mindy’s writing is just like brunch(but not basic). It’s accessible, easy to digest, and a balm for the soul. At the end her writing somehow leaves you feeling a little brighter and a little more hopeful about the world.

Look, I don’t know what that means either, I just know I enjoyed the heck out of it. I listened to her essays and I did the dishes and made bread.

I don’t like to do either of those things but somehow these essays made me do them both. So now I’m a better person.


So listen to these essays and You can be a better person too… Probably… Somehow

Sweet and Funny

This little vignette was sweet and funny and endearing and just the right length. I came away smiling and in a much better mood than when I pushed “play.”

Brilliant writer and storyteller, Mindy Kaling is like a breathe of fresh air. What a wonderful role model for my daughter. Our whole family loves The Office but especially the Mindy Show!

I wish it was longer!

It was a great short story about her life after giving birth. It was helpful without being overbearing. And I smiled the whole time.
