Buttermom Blueprint

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.
