As  far as I’m concerned (and I am merely a stay at home mom, not an  accomplished critic) this is the end-all be-all of parenting books.  Practical parenting advice is hidden among stories of meandering down  enchanted cobblestone streets and the smell of fresh baguettes from the  nearby bakery. I love that she gives her reader every reason to enjoy  every moment of pregnancy and parenthood. This book is void of horror  stories, anxiety, and legalistic rules but chock full of common sense  and grace for mothers-to-be. I certainly wish I had read this book  during my first pregnancy when I was a nervous wreck. If nothing else,  peace has returned to my home via her no-nonsense parenting methods.  Unlike other child-rearing and “what to expect” type books, after  reading this, I am far less nervous about my potential to ruin my child  for life.One of the best parenting books ever.EnjoyBaba13
