The Mommy Files Book Review

I graciously received the book The Mommy Files: Secrets Every New Mom Should Know (that no one else will tell you!) by Jen Klein from FSB Media. I was excited to read this book because I am a new mother myself and I wanted to know all the secrets!

This book reveals secrets the author, Jen Klein, learned along the way about mastering the art of motherhood, from how to handle strangers who ask how much weight you've gained to getting your little ones on the big yellow bus - on time and in clean underwear! The book takes a new mother through all the steps she will make as she becomes a new mother.

My Opinion

As a new mother who is already six months into mommyhood, I found this book nailed a lot of truths and secrets to motherhood right on the head - lessons I had to learn the hard way! I wish I would have had this book to read before I gave birth so I could have been warned and let in on the mommy secrets ahead of time! I like the mix of comedy and seriousness the author uses to explain a lot of what all mothers experience no matter how many babies you have had! It made reading the book fun and I kept wondering what lesson I would learn next. It is nice to hear her words of encouragement on certain serious issues that hit home such as what to do when you are unable to breastfeed, what to say to those nosy people who are always in your business, tips for parenting, and how to start feeding solids!

This book would make a great baby shower gift because it is not only entertaining, but very practical!

Pros: easy to read, great advice and lessons, book helps you not feel like you are the only one going through certain issues, great resources included for extra advice and information, small and concise enough that it isn't overwhelming

Cons: none from my opinion - it was a great book
