The Rebel Mama launched a book—F*ck YES!

If you don't already know the moniker, this duo is exactly what the name evokes "REBEL."  Their beliefs are against the grain of traditional mommy groups, and propels us in an unapologetic, judgement free direction of parenting. YESSSS!

Now, the powerhouse duo behind everyone’s favourite “anti-mommy-blog” (www.therebelmama.com) have finally acquiesced to the requests of the thousands of metropolitan moms in their community who have been dying for something cool, something relatable, something rebellious to help them navigate the turbulent waters of Early Motherhood.

The Rebel Mama's Handbook for (Cool) Moms

The parenting book for "the rest of us" has arrived— funny, raw, honest, and empowering as you imagine it should be. What's even more commendable—this book was written, designed, and published by an all-female team from Toronto, Canada, led by authors (and co-founders of The Rebel Mama Inc) Nikita Stanley and Aleksandra Jassem.

The launch party was curated to perfection—hosted at the Mary Perram House in the heart of Toronto; a venue that has been used as a safe haven for women in the city, and operated as a hostel for immigrant women in the 1920s, a residential club for girls in the 1950s, and a hospice for marginalized individuals in the early 2000s.

What's even more mind-blowing about how refreshing this group is?  They unashamedly threw this party with cannabis in full force.  Dosist , an award-winning plant-based health and wellness brand from LA, was on board to help the educate attendees while they celebrated.  The Rebel Mama’s Handbook for (Cool) Moms casually references “weed” throughout the leaves of the book, to help destigmatize the use of cannabis amongst parents—especially moms. and to drive a positive conversation about the plant. Highlighting its diverse properties, applications, and benefits to users were informative—as we barrel toward its legalization later this year.

The Rebel Mama’s Handbook for (Cool) Moms, is the Coles Notes for all those boring baby books you never read—AKA, the instruction manual you wish your kid(s) came with— complete with cocktail list.  We salute this forceful duo, and the team that made what the pair deems as their "unofficial wedding," a smash— Shauna Ireland of Ireland + Hall Communications, Melody Ansara of Identity Events, and Hersey Gonzales of Neat Freaks.

Is there a chant we should yell while diving in?!
