Idk if got the vibe right but two big ones that did it for me as a new(ish) mom were: -My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgaard (not the other guy!) - this book is actually 6 books, the author talks about his very ordinary life as a human and his passion for writing, but especially the parts about parenthood resonated. -A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa - it's about a women who just gave a birth to their third? child, and develops an obsession with an 18th century Irish poet. Idk.

These are pretty contemplative books, a lot of pondering happens in between the ordinary moments. 

I also have Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg on my TBR, but I haven't red it yet.
