Madeleine Hamilton & Bunny Banyai
Madeleine and Bunny first met as neighbours, but bonded when they both had babies. They found an enormous amount of info for new parents but nothing that spoke to them as real people, so they created their own blog which is now a book, Sh*t On My Hands. Today they share their insights into parenthood and tell us about their book, which provides a pithy commentary on the twists and turns of parenting the under-twos.
Sh*t on My Hands: A Down and Dirty Companion to Early Parenthood, Arcade RRP: $20.00
