Being a mom nowadays, I feel is a lot easier compared to before. There's so much more technology and research materials available. I, personally, am so happy that I found wonderful articles and videos online that helped me during pregnancy and postpartum. The only downside is I had to go to several sites and forums to get information on the different topics. And I wasn't able to find a book that's complete and is based locally.
Here comes Project Mom to the rescue. Let's just say it's a complete guide from pregnancy to 1 year postpartum. It's written by Bianca Araneta-Elizalde and Amanda Griffin-Jacob.
I was fortunate to be invited to the book launch of Project Mom and was able to listen to Bianca and Amanda's stories while they were in the process of writing this wonderful book.
Before the event started, I saw Cutieverse's products on display! :) As you know Bianca and Amanda both live a natural and an organic lifestyle. What better way than to share their favorite products including those of Cutieverse!
To my surprise, guess who the hosts were! My highschool crush Marc Nelson and the beautiful Lexi Schulze!
So sorry I just have to gush and squeal for a moment. :)
The book tackles just about everything that you need from pregnancy to toddler years. In fact, Bianca and Amanda talked to 6 doctors who helped out in this book. Aside from these reputable doctors, they also asked helped from experts and real life moms to share their experiences as moms.
