Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here.
First of all, I’d like to congratulate you on becoming a parent or caregiver. This first year of parenting is not for the weak! Whether you’re a fist bumper, a hugger, or you’d prefer a simple salute, I want to reach out to you in whatever way you’re most comfortable and recognize the simple fact that having a baby is both a miraculous and incredibly difficult time. My husband likens the experience of parenting an infant to being “in the tunnel.”
Having walked (dragged my feet? zombified my way?) through that tunnel twice now, I honestly believe it really is a year-long tunnel. You’re underground, you’re in a haze, you can’t see very far ahead of you, your perspective is slightly skewed, you’re not sure how to find your way around… Taking steps to find the tools that help you through is one of the best things you can do for yourself. I’m happy to know that you’ve decided that Understanding Your Baby is a tool you can use, and I’m honored to be part of your parenting journey.
I’ve created a simple 3-step process for you to get the most out of your book:
Step 1:
Download and print your Week-By-Week Calendar to accompany Understanding Your Baby: stick it up on your refrigerator or on a wall of your nursery so you’ll get in the habit of referring back to your book when you need a gentle guide!

Step 2:
Attend a “Parent & Me” class using the Learn With Less® curriculum!
“To me, the book is a supplement to the enrichment classes. And I do think that, for me, the value of the classes is even more enriched by the presence of the book – you could just get the book, but I think the book, your album, and the class is the winning combination!”
