What

Welcome to the new publication, Improvising Parenthood. This is a place for all parents living through the daily fails, successes, joys, frustrations, laughs, and tears to be reminded that no one knows what the %$#& they are doing. Every parent is improvising their way through being a mom or dad.

Relax. Laugh. Get back up and fail all over again.

Who

The editor of Improvising Parenthood, Will Dennis, is a teacher and improviser. As such, some stories throughout this publication will focus specifically on how some of the rules of improv (as a performance art) can be applied to parenting, relationships and family. Other voices and writers will also be featured, though, so that this can be a forum for parents from all walks of life to feel seen and heard.

Why

Perhaps the most overused cliché on this planet is,

“Baby’s don’t come with an instruction manual!”

It may induce eye-rolling, but it also has the luxury of being true. Our response:

“No s$#@, start improvising.”

Follow Along

Join with parents across the globe and follow Improvising Parenthood for a consistent, light reminder that no one has it figured out.
