While I was pregnant, my husband and I would make regular trips to Barnes and Noble. In fact, on one trip we got some baby name books, and I told him we weren’t leaving until  we had  a name for our baby boy. (This was after months of going back and forth. And , Yes, we did leave there with his name, but that is a whole different story.

While we were on one of our book store adventures I found this book called, “How to Sew a Button.” It quickly became my favorite read while pregnant. This one had nothing to to with babies, but had everything to do with practical information I could use as a mom. It calmed my nerves, and helped me feel prepared to take on Motherhood.

This book is still a great reference tool to me today. One of the things I learned from the book was how to unclog a drain. The fist time I tried this I was shocked at how well it worked. I felt like I could conquer the world as a SAHM, and save us money. I have no idea why I got so excited, but I remember I couldn’t wait for Derrick to get home so I could tell him what I had done.
