Superbaby - Book Review


Know someone who is pregnant?
Know a mom to one under 3?

Then, I have just the book for you!!!
I have been reviewing Superbaby by Dr. Jenn Berman and I really enjoy it!
I did not pick it up and start from the beginning, I have been jumping all over the place!

This book includes "12 ways to give your child a head start in the first 3 years."

Superbaby has a little of this and a little of that.
There are 12 Chapters that breakdown the steps/

Talk the Talk - Respectful Communication
You Got Me - Responding to Cues
Tick Tock - Creating Security and Predictability
Let Your Fingers Do the Walking - The Importance of Touch
More Than Chitchat - Promoting Language Development
Talk to the Hand - Sign Language
Babies without Borders - Foreign Language
Baby Got Book - Reading
A Different Kind of Toy Story - The Importance of Play
Thinking Outside the Box - Screen Time
It's Easy Being Green - Reducing Exposure to Toxic Chemicals
Food for Thought - Eating and Nutrition

Add to it:
Appendix A - Child Care
Appendix B - Preschool
Appendix C- Sample Baby Schedules
Appendix D - Reducing the Risk of SIDS

I think one of the main things I enjoy about this book is the layout.
Instead of being a cut and dry book... It has the feel along the lines of an Outline...
(A very detailed outline, but still... there are boxes and key points... so on and so forth)

There are boxes filled with information.
Top Ten Lists.
Even sections "from the expert."

In some area's you even have Pro/Con lists...

I have picked this up dozens of times and read bits and pieces.
I can not wait for Broxton to take longer naps so that I can get things done around the house... and then enjoy reading more of this!
I really want to start at page one and work my way through the whole book..
From start to finish!
Superbaby is like one of those books that you have read dozens of times that still calls your name!
It is calling me to read it all and I am so ready to do so!!!!


Of course, as much as I love reading (and want to pass that love to Broxton) my favorite section is the "Baby Got Book - Reading" one...
In this section, Dr. Jenn gives you the benefits to reading.
She also lists the top twelve books she recommends for children under 3.
(I hate to admit it, but I have never even heard of them... you better believe I will be looking for them at the library soon!)
The best part?
Dr. Jenn includes "Thirty Six Activities That Will Make Kids of All Ages Love Lit."

I like that these are actually things that are easy for me to do... Not that I am always looking to take an easy route, but some books that I see are just too much for me...
This book is easy to read, easy to follow through... and besides making a "superbaby," I think it helps me doing my job, be a better mom!

As I said, I am really enjoying this book!!!!
With that being said, I am off to read a few more pages now!!!!
This is a must have for all! (In my opinion!)

You can head on over to Amazon and buy this book today!!!!
Or, if you are out and about... Swing on by Barnes and Noble... they carry it as well!!!!

If you get half as much out of it as I did, you are in for a treat!!!!

Please stay up to date by following Dr. Jenn on twitter or facebook.

    I like that it's one of the kinds of books that you can read in bits and pieces as needed!

    That's really cool. I don't have any kids, but if I ever do I hope that reading is a big part of their life. I'm really grateful to my grandmother who was such a big part of my education. She encouraged my reading, helped me get into classical music and even taught me basic algebra when I was like in first grade! You'd really be surprised what kids are capable of if you just spend some time with them.

    This sounds like a good, non overwhelming read for new moms. I thin it'd be perfect for my pregnant sister.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
