Amy Wilson created the one-woman show Mother Load, which started in 2007 and has been touring the country ever since. As an actor, she has performed on Broadway, as a series regular on two sitcoms, and in dozens of other plays and films. Her writing appears regularly in Parenting magazine, as well as Redbook, Babytalk, babble.com, and CNN.com's "Living" page. But her favorite productions are her three young children, whom she raises with her husband in New York City.

"Wilson's got a light comic touch, but also traffics unflinchingly in the gross and the sad." -- Entertainment Weekly "When Did I Get Like This? is a funny, heartwarming account by [a] frazzled young mother of three. This book will help [new mothers] remember that the worst day with children is better than the best day without them." -- The Washington Post "Amy Wilson's hilarious, tender memoir of all the ways her children drive her crazy--and she drives herself crazy--had me laughing out loud with recognition. She captures the small moments of motherhood in a way that is both funny and thought-provoking." -- Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project "An honest, personal, and often hilarious collection of short, beautifully written chapters. As entertaining as it is reassuring." -- Christie Mellor, author of The Three-Martini Playdate "Reading Amy Wilson's book is like meeting your favorite new mom friend: She's whip-smart, charming, enviably capable but as self-doubting as the rest of us, and very, very funny." -- Pamela Paul, author of Parenting, Inc. "Like Annie Hall wearing a nursing bra!" -- New York Times (on the stage play)
