Blogging Moms Doing Big Things
Many of our readers know that we consider ourselves early
adopters of social media. Through those early
days of blogging and posting we connected with many other Canadian Bloggers via
twitter. That is how we first connected with Maria
Lianos-Carbone first known to us as @amotherworld. Since those OG twitter days the term “Mom
Blogger” has evolved into “Digital Influencer” and many of our early twitter
connections have evolved themselves as well.
Today I am happy to announce that Maria has released her first book, Oh
Baby! A Mom’s Self-care Survival Guide for the First Year
and let me tell you why it was the book we wish we had around when we first
became Moms.
Oh, Baby There Is A Lot of Info in This Book
From the time this book begins it makes you well aware that
bringing home a new baby means there is a new reality waiting for you as soon
as you leave the hospital. All those
preparations you thought were important quickly change once you experience your
first sleepless night. Maria’s book lets
you know that you are not alone in the process and that many new parents are
going through the same issues and emotions as you. By taking the time to read each chapter you
become aware of what that first year really entails. Everything from swaddling to spit up is
covered in this book. Along with the
quotes and advice from parents, you get a real picture of what “bringing home
baby” is really like. For me, the best piece of advice is the
shopping list of items that every Mom should have when she returns home after
labour. Let’s just say in my case,
it would have saved me a pit stop at Shoppers Drug Mart on my route home from
the hospital. Whether you are a first-time
parent or looking for a fantastic Baby Shower Gift, this book fits the bill. It
will be a welcome addition to those welcoming a new addition to their family.
