• Mama's Tantrum www.mamastantrum.com

Mama's Tantrum offers the musings of a mother healing from childhood trauma while trying not to throw a tantrum. The mother of a toddler, Mama provides a humorous take on parenting that's rooted in her passionate attempt to evolve as a parent, mend wounds and hang onto the little bit of sanity she's acquired over the years. It tackles the serious subject matter of trauma recovery with honesty and a bit of self-deprecating irreverence for her pursuit of “normal” parenting.
