Many of you (and many) already know her, or you may not know her but you will soon know who she is if I tell you that she is in charge of the blog Todo Mundo Peques.
According to its author this means we can find everything related to our children. Since we consider the possibility of being parents ... until we assume the need to feel as such. A whole world around them, the "kids"
Our protagonist is called Pilar Fonseca and She is the mother of two children of nine and five years, defines herself as 'Mom FullTime' that works inside and outside the home (like so many others). In addition to being a mother, she is 'very cinephile', and unconditional of good gastronomy, especially if she is accompanied by a desktop without hurry with friends (something I imagine will not be easy with two children still small).
In addition to being a mother, and working inside and outside the home, too (like many women today), she has a university education and experience as a journalist (written press, television and radio).
But we go with the interview, thanks to which we will know more about this interesting book that has reached the publishing market stomping: "Mom Full Time". Peques y Más.- The title of your book sounds great "Mom Full time", I really believe that moms who exercise 24 hours a day have some 'super heroines'. But you are also more things: blogger, partner (what do I leave?); Didn't you have enough with all this to start writing a book?
Pilar Fonseca.- Hahaha ... yes !! right? The complicated thing has been finding the time to sit down and organize ideas, approaches and annotations. I am one of those people who has a collection of notebooks for the bags, the nightstand, the computer table ... and I'm pointing a little bit of everything. Organizing it has been the most complicated and laborious.
New mothers do not yet have experience, but if they do not get carried away by the tide of "well-intentioned advice" they will surely take out their common sense and apply it wisely
PyM.- Despite the previous irony, it is appreciated (and I think I speak on behalf of many moms) this book. Better you than me, what is it about?
P.F.- "Mom Full Time" is about everything that has happened to all of us, since we left the hospital with our baby and until that baby turns his first months. It is not an instruction manual, I do not give any advice. I tell what happened to me, what I have decided to do in that circumstance in which we all think that we make mistakes and that in the end, I realized that it was not so much. I collect anecdotes that have been told by my friends and with all this I make a cocktail that is very easy to read, especially looking for the mother's laughter or smile, seeing that everything is simpler and not so dramatic.
PyM.- What can you tell us about the acceptance you are having?
P.F.- I feel very flattered, very clothed, very spoiled I would say. There are many moms who are buying it in Bubok, both in its digital and paper edition. It makes me very excited when moms approach me to buy it on paper and ask me to dedicate it to them… it makes me dizzy! Hahaha… and above all I love that those who have read it tell me what anecdote, with what reality of which I expose in the book they have laughed more ... some to the tear!
PyM.- How will it help those first-time moms who suddenly only care about the baby but know that they must reorganize their lives?
P.F.- Wow! My intention is really take away unnecessary anguish from them. The first child is always with whom we learn to be mothers, nobody is born knowing, so with a little common sense and a lot of sense of humor, we can enjoy this stage so chaotic but so intense. That is my true intention.
PyM.- What is missing for new mothers (and those who have a little more experience) who do not have ?, and I do not talk about money.
P.F.- Hahaha ... the experience? The experience allows you to relativize the moments much more, allows you to make the needs more flexible because maybe they are not such, it allows you to have more relaxed reactions that in the end are more productive and more positive. New mothers do not have that lived in the first person but if they do not get carried away by the tide of "well-meaning advice" they will surely take out their common sense and apply it wisely.
In general, all parents need to use these two senses more: common sense and sense of humor
PyM.- You have been asked this question many times, I suppose: how has maternity improved your life?
P.F.- I don't know if he has improved it, what I do know is that he has changed it completely and that I really like it as he has left it. We are more and we are better, we go from being a couple to being a family and that shows in our way of living life. We have changed the focus of interest very little, we try to find a place for everyone and we become something that does not stop learning, from each other. I would not change it for anything, that is also true, even if it is not a path of roses, as is normal and as happens to us all.
Full Time Mom CoverPyM.- What do you feel now that your project to write a book has come true?
P.F.- Well, I like that feeling of being able to do, finally, something I wanted to do for a long time. It is a personal improvement because I have needed an order and continuity that I usually cannot boast much… hehehe
And then, when moms tell me (and some dad ...) who have read it where they laughed, why, what memories have brought them this or that part ... I feel very, very happy! And if they already add that they will give it to their sister / friend / acquaintance who just got pregnant, even happier because then they have seen that it will be very useful.
So far the interview, I hope you liked it. I have to thank Pilar for the sincerity and brevity with which she has responded, also the funny tone in which our previous conversations have taken place to the publication of this entry.
I have no doubt that "Mom Full Time" will help many new mothers, because it has a positive tone and closeness that is not found in other books.
Thank you for your work Pilar, the truth is that I keep wondering where you get the time. Of course I invite readers and readers to follow Todo Mundo Peques, and of course! To buy the book.
