Parenting Is Easy, as Told by Stock Images

Meet Sara Given, a first-time mom who’s found her place in the online parenting world by poking fun at it. Her blog It’s Like They Know Us rounds up all those ridiculously idyllic parenting stock photos you hate so much and adds the snarky captions they deserve. And her new book, Parenting is Easy! (You’re Probably Just Doing it Wrong), takes the fun to a whole new level. Here, some of the excerpts that made us laught the hardest.

“Life is beautiful.”

“I know. It’s probably all of the sleep we are getting.”
