Being a Mom rocks!

My baby girl is now 9 months old and I have to say, being a mom totally rocks.  I knew I would love this.  Reese is as fiery and passionate as her name describes.  I didn't know this kind of love existed.  I feel very, very lucky.  

What I wanted to share with you, well, is my book...Zaida Baby - My First Keepsake.  I published this book 6 years ago now, and JUST had my first child.  The love letter that you get to read was from my heart many years ago and I now get to share that with my own baby.  The reason I say that I wanted to share this with you, is that I have learned a new way to use this book.  And that's from memory.  When I am nursing my baby girl, I recite this love letter to her.  It's not just for her, but for mommy too.  A reminder of why we became parents in the first place.  A reminder to slow down and trust that everything is unfolding the way that it should.  If you have this book, please share it with your child tonight.  (If you don't you can get started with the words below).  Regardless of their age, they will remember this love letter that you shared with them in the womb. 

You may remember, it starts...

Thank you for coming into my life...
and for letting me love you wholeheartedly.  
I promise to nurture you...
And to teach you things about life that have inspired me.
I will encourage you to be an amazing person...
and to be proud of who are you are.


Enjoy, and happy parenting.
