As a new mom, my life is a beautiful whirlwind of joy, exhaustion, and a million questions. Most of these questions start with "Is this normal?" and end with "Am I doing this right?"
In my quest for answers, I’ve scrolled through countless forums, listened to a hundred podcasts, and received a lot of well-meaning but often contradictory advice. And while all of that has been helpful in its own way, I’m still on the hunt for a great parenting book—the kind that feels like a wise, calm friend who knows exactly what to say.
My bookshelf is a little bare when it comes to the "how-to" of motherhood. My friends have their favorites, from gentle sleep training guides to books on child development, but I want to discover a book on my own terms. So this weekend, I'm going to do something a little old-fashioned: I'm going to the library.
There's something about a library that feels different. It's not the curated, algorithm-fed list you get online. It’s a place filled with possibilities, where I can browse the spines of a hundred different books and let one call out to me. Maybe it’s a classic everyone talks about, or perhaps it's a hidden gem with a title that just clicks. I’m hoping to find a book that doesn't just give me rules but helps me trust my own instincts.
I’m walking into the children's section this weekend with an open mind and a big, empty tote bag. Wish me luck on my hunt for the perfect read that will help me navigate this incredible journey.
