As my own daughter is currently struggling through various aspects of raising her own two little boys, we saw that there was a need for a book for new moms, but one that didn't tell them what to do, or how to do it, rather one that shared other's mom's trials and tribulations, as well as their successes and victories.

In this way, a new mother, a mother-to-be, or even a woman who has already had a baby, can see that they are not alone in their struggles. Other moms had been through the same exhaustion, confusion, frustrations and trials, but have found a way to get through and come out of the experience, guilt-free and triumphant.

The sole purpose of the book is to share experiences and ideas and to support other moms by showing them that they are not alone.

It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child, well this is the contribution of our village, to other moms as they go about raising their children.

Our book includes the following topics:

- Do birth plans go according to plan?

- Is toilet training driving you potty?
- Working moms and the need for nursery school normality
