Dawn Dais is mother of 2, a bestselling author and comedian. Her children are Vivian, age 6, and Daniel, age 4.
I first encountered the hilarious world of Dawn Dais when reading her book, The Sh!t No One Tells You, after having my third child. Her words, conveying the immense difficulty of having a baby while at the same time making light of the trying period of time, brought laughter to my middle of the night newborn baby feeds and our dinner table, when I shared them with my husband. They also helped me feel normal and not alone. Her words helped me feel that I was not the only one in the world who did not have my sh!t together all the freakin time. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

The Overly Honest Baby Book - The book itself is designed as a beautiful keepsake and the content includes the normal things a parent would record for their baby (head circumference etc) but it also includes the messy reality of parenting in Dawn's humorous tone. It's a great gift for an expecting parent and will help them laugh (instead of cry) about being pooped on and swearing during the delivery process. Get yours now here on Amazon for $8.80.
