The Basics

The daunting and not-for-faint-of-heart journey of motherhood is best survived with the humor and wit of Ashley Carbonatto’s story telling and no-nonsense guide to the world’s hardest job. From heart-felt to hilarious, Ashley’s own path of motherhood has been a faith-journey through unexpected ups and downs of learning to re-discover her identity that motherhood tried to strip away. With tales of daily loneliness, anxiety and (mostly undiagnosed) post partum along with lessons of growth, self-discovery, and friendship, this book is the guide from a sister in the trenches that will meet the everyday mom right where she’s at.

Ashley Carbonatto is a domestically underachieving mom-of-three who juggles all the things. She’s a gatherer of people, a welcomer to the outsider, a storyteller to the tired, and an entertainer to the downcast. After leaving a successful career, she re-discovered her voice and renewed purpose in motherhood, but in her own unconventional way. You need homemade frosting? She’s not the one you call. But you need a good story and honest reflection? Ashley’s your woman. She lives in Issaquah, Washington with her husband and three minions, and always has a drink in the fridge for anyone who stops by.

What other moms are saying about this book…

“I want to shove this book into the hands of every new mom I know! Because this motherhood thing? It's SO OFTEN really hard, and really boring, and really frustrating. But there is so much purpose in the monotony, and Ashley hysterically shares that truth through these pages. So for the moms everywhere who need a dose of beautiful and hysterical reality with their motherhood job title -- this book is for you.”

-Kristin F.

“Why don't they tell you how hard and lonely motherhood can be?? This is the book I needed when I was in the trenches with my littles. Those days that felt like they'd never end, when I had no clue who I was outside of a mom, and had never felt so lost and alone. Ashley is the bestie that we all need to pull us out of that stage.”

-Allison C.

“Never have I been more heard as a suburban, working mom who is trying to figure out this puzzle called motherhood. Ashley is not preaching all the do's and don't's of motherhood but rather sharing her experience to say, "You Are Enough." This book is a gamechanger for any mom in ANY situation and season of motherhood.”

-Amazon Review

“Ashley Carbonatto speaks to the single mom, speaks to the mom yearning to be a mom, the mom striving to be the supermom, the working mom, the drowning mom, and the grieving mom all in one book! "More Than A Mom" is the cry for help all us moms have desired and Ashley answered the call with love, compassion, and humor.”
