The Buttermom Blueprint
Raising kids the 90s way: with butter, low expectations, and a little bit of benign neglect.
Remember when childhood just happened? When kids disappeared outside after breakfast and came back muddy and starving at dinner? When nobody was optimising screen-to-green ratios or laminating a feelings chart?
This book is for the mom who suspects that the way we were raised, with grilled cheese and free afternoons and parents who trusted their gut, actually worked pretty well.
The Buttermom Blueprint is a parenting memoir and manifesto for millennial moms who are exhausted by the performance of modern motherhood. It's not a how-to guide. There are no steps, no frameworks, no gentle-parenting scripts to memorise. It's the Buttermom vibe in book form. Comfort over discipline. Nourishment over performance. A home that smells like something good, kids who are allowed to be bored, and a mom who trusts herself.
Nine chapters of warm, funny, occasionally sweary truth about raising kids in a lived-in house, feeding them like it's 1994, and trusting your instincts over the podcast.
Plus eight real-life recipes. The kind made without measuring cups.
We're not raising perfect children. We're raising stories.
About Me
Stella Vaage Davidson is a Norwegian writer, marketing executive, and former fashion journalist. She spent years travelling the world for fashion weeks and celebrity interviews, before swapping that for a more domestic lifestyle, a nine to five, and a toddler and a baby at home.
She lives in a 100 year old Norwegian cottage with her Canadian husband and travels to Canada several times a year.
The Buttermom Blueprint is her first book. It came from exactly where you'd expect: standing in front of the fridge at 5pm, wondering what the actual hell is for dinner, and realising she wasn't the only one. And a growing, genuine belief that the way we were raised in the 90s, a little free, a little unsupervised, fed real food and trusted to figure things out, was actually right.
