Don t let the time it took me to finish this book be a representation of how good it is, really I could have finished it in one day if I didn t designate the as my 1 min of relief from the kids a day book I loved it and I think I will start reading it again too It reminds me so much of what my kids do, and so I love even how it stirs up my own memories of when they were little She did a great job of painting a good picture with only a couple pages each entry to do it in I recommend this book to [...]

I enjoyed the book, as I enjoy all of Heather Armstrong s writing This collection of letters to her daughter, Leta, is a great group of memories that is beneficial in explaining the fun, weird, difficult, but still awesome parts of raising a kid.The reason it s not rated higher is that it s mainly entries from her blog that have been pared down I ve read her blog, so I already knew most of these stories, but it was still a fun read.

There isn t too much to say about this book Its greatest quality is the concept, which is extremely inspiring I love the idea of writing letters to my children and loved ones in general to read when they are older and wish it is something I thought of myself, and sooner The actual content is cute, and entertaining at times, but not real high on the page turning or wow factor It s an okay book made out of a great idea, and something Armstrong s daughter will no doubt cherish one day.

I like Dooce so i m not surprised I liked this It made me appreciate how parents adults can easily chalk up life with kids as a chore when really it could be viewed as special and leanring and all those other magical things we forget in the day to day ness of it all a good quick read.

I wish I had thought to write down a bunch of milestones that Ben made These were really funny and helped me to focus on all the goods things you see in your child instead of wanting to kill them every day for bad behavior.

Sweet, wonderful heart warming Anyone who has ever raised a child will love this book It brought back multiple memories of my kids when they were babies made me reflect on the last 8 months I have had with my Baby Andrew 3 you kiddies.

This was such a cute book It made me want to be a mom Official review forthcoming.

First part was funny, but it got old real quick Might have enjoyed it if I was younger.

I really liked this book Although I had heard of the blogger author I hadn t actually read anything from her website so this was all new for me to enjoy Great writing style.

Adorable Super cute mothers day gift Quick read.
