Before I became a mother I thought I knew everything. I was wrong. Becoming a mom made me doubt myself more than ever before in my life. All of the things I thought I knew about babies and myself just seemed to leave my brain. However, after talking to other mothers I learned that this was very common and I did in fact know a thing or two.
I loved reading The Mommy-Files because it reassured me that I was in fact a good mom and that trusting my instincts was sometimes the best thing for me and my baby. I learned a few new things but mostly was reminded to simply enjoy being a mom. I would totally recommend this book for any new mom.

Inside SheKnows.com Presents: The Mommy Files you’ll find:
Your mom didn’t know what she was doing either
A pediatrician is your partner, not your adversary
Playgroups are for moms more than they are for kids

In my opinion no summer is complete with out a cookout and no cookout is complete without burgers and no burger is complete without ketchup.

I encourage my kids to see how much reading they can get done during summer break. I ask them to read for just a few minutes each day, and they can read any book they want. They can read comic books, a magazine, or below “grade level” books; I don’t care as long as they…
