A Really Good Mommy Book!!

I highly recommend: I was a really good mom before I had kids: reinventing modern motherhood - Written by Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile

I will be the first to admit that motherhood is not what I expected it to be. Most days I feel completely exhausted, and stressed out. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything, But most days, I do feel a little overwhelmed. My son, Lucas, is now 17 months old, and things are getting easier, but alot of the time I still question whether I'm doing enough with him, or if I'm making mistakes. I wonder If I'm challenging him enough, why he doesn't know his colors yet, and why he isn't speaking as much as his friends are.. etc. Basically since I've become a mom I have been searching for help on how exactly to be a mom. I have read a ton of books, some disappointing, some inaccurate, and some infuriating. But I have just found the best book. I was thinking that I should probably finish the book before I tell people about it. But I am so excited about it that I can't wait to share it. I would highly recommend this book, if your feeling like me..a little lost.. Ok, now that I have recommended this book to all of you, I really hope that the rest of it doesn't suck. Can't wait to hear what you all think of it!!
