Great Books to read

Raising Cain. By Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson.  Anyone who is raising a little boy or pregnant and may have a boy, should read this book. It's ok for boys to be in touch with their emotional side. 

Reading Magic By Mem Fox and Judy Horacek. Reading  to your child is very important. It is never too early to start. Actually the earlier the better so, start when your pregnant. 

Your Best Life Now for Moms by Joel Osteen.  A great book for parents to read. It always seems to amaze me how some parents talk to their children. You are the first people that have a huge impact in your children lives. Your child's self-esteem, drive and success begins with you, the parents. Please speak  positive things to your children and do not compare them to your other children or other children in general. If they are getting on your "nerves," take a breather before you say something negative to them. Also, even if your are talking to someone else about your child, your child can hear you! So again, be positive!  Please.

Becoming Babywise: By Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam

Babywise was my parenting bible and why my baby girl is on a schedule. This book was a gift  given to me by a good friend as soon as she found out I was pregnant. This is the most helpful book I read during motherhood!!! It makes so much sense and when followed correctly, made my life so much easier. Milana started sleeping 12 hours at night at 13 weeks, on July 4, 2009. She takes three naps a day for 1 and a half to two hours for two naps and  1 or 1 and a half hour nap for her third nap. She is on a feeding schedule, so when she cries, I don't have to guess if she is crying because she's hungry or thirsty or because her diaper is dirty. I know if she cries and it isn't her nap time, she's not hungry and her diaper isn't dirty that something is wrong. An amazing book!!!!!!!! It is the first of the series. By the way, hubby loves this book and follows it along with me.
