A Handbook for Rookie Moms

{By Emily ~ May 12, 2008} 

Nothing says Rookie Mom like gratefully reading a handbook of activities and ideas to do with your little babe. (This would have me written all over it). In fact, I am so honored to have qualified as an official Rookie Mom! The Rookie Mom website featured my “Create a Princess Tutu” post as activity #551. So happy. You may check it out HERE.

The Handbook: $14.95

Written by Rookie Mom Experts Heather Gibbs Flett & Whitney Moss, this handbook welcomes you to motherhood and then features 250 activities you can do with children of all ages (and without them too) while you are a member of this so called “motherhood” club. 

One section that caught my attention, inpires moms to venture out of the house and lists 7 reasons why you need to leave the house with your tot everyday.

Here is the list (Is this not the cold-hard truth?):

  • It’s an excuse to take a shower
  • It’s an opportunity to show-off your baby
  • It will maintain your friendships
  • It will keep your social skills sharp
  • You’ll actually have something to say when you are asked: “What did you do today?”
  • You can practice using your baby gear
  • And that’s what people do - moms are just people who have children

It is a perfect gift for any new mom or for yourself (even if you do have five kids already).
