Motherhood is a challenging job. It's even harder the first time.

In this collection, architect and mom Anna Sachali turns the realities of new motherhood into sharp, funny visuals that many parents will recognize right away. From sleepless nights to the strange things babies do when nobody is looking, the strips lean into the messiness instead of pretending it is easy.
