Are you about to become a mom? Are you currently a parent who is wondering if you're doing it right? Do you wonder or worry about what motherhood really means? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you! 50 Things to Know About Motherhood by Wendy Ruth offers an approach to motherhood from a point of view that any parent can find relatable, no matter the gender. Most books on motherhood are full of big dreams, high expectations, and sentimentality. Although there's nothing wrong with that, Wendy's stories of raising twins in a non-traditional household tell it like it is, including tales from her extended family and family of friends...the village that it has taken to raise these children! Though this book includes knowledge and references from an array of experts that Wendy found helpful, it does not take the place of recommendations or instructions from your pediatrician. In these pages you'll discover magical qualities that mothers possess, true stories of success and failure, and a few practical parenting tips. This book will help you figure out the kind of mother you want to be. By the time you go to finish this book, one of your friends will have borrowed it, you will have lent it to someone else, or it will have suffered stains and damage from constantly being tossed in your ever-present, super-prepared parental tote bag, backpack, or purse. So grab an extra copy today. You'll be glad you did.
