Iliza Shlesinger Hates Mom-Shamers As Much As You Do

Today’s a big day around here, with the launch of our second-ever issue. This one is dedicated to relationships of all kinds, from the one with your spouse to the one with your mother-in-law.

And our cover star is comedian Iliza Schlesinger, who you might recognize from her hilarious super-honest birth announcement in January. The pics are exactly the mood for summer.

It’s also nice (?) to know that I’m not the only one who remembers having a horror-filled Foley balloon experience during birth. Schlesinger aptly described it: “It felt like the most medieval, archaic torture device that you would use for a heretic in dark ages England.” Check out her thoughts on formula stigma and “gorgeous” baby poop. (Ah, motherhood.)
