Jen:  So, welcome to Momcave Live, where we may have lost our minds, but we haven't lost our sense of humor yet. I'm Jen from Momcave, and my guest to hang out with us tonight is Amanda, who is @thedudeMom. Hey, Amanda. 

Amanda:  Hello. Thank you for having me

Jen:  Of course. So, dude mom makes me assume that you have dudes as opposed to dudettes in your life. Is that it? 

Amanda: That is an accurate but funny story. I have had people email me and like see, like little pitches or something. They're like, Oh, hey, dude, you see that as my name. And I even had somebody once think that I was a dude who was a mom. So clarify, I am not a dude. I am a mom.

Jen:  Yes, right. But you did tell me you're from California originally. So that's very like dude, like, yeah. Cool. So I heard about your book. And I thought that would be fun to talk about. So, everybody, Amanda has a book, which I could probably put on the screen at some point. But we'll get to that. It's on Amazon, of course, where all the books are. And tell us about the book, what's it called, and what's in it.

Amanda:  It's 50 Things to Do in Baby's first year. And it is a book that is written more, not from like, the 50 Like milestones that you need to cover as a parent or anything. It's more about keeping your sanity as a mom, and yeah, that you should do to maintain yourself and your humanity because I don't know about the rest of you guys, but that my mother, my early mothering days nearly snatched the humanity away from me...
