To all of the wonderful, fabulous, hard-working and fun-loving mothers out there…Happy Mother’s Day! Here are a few inspirational quotes for the mothers of the world.

“A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.” – Dorothy Canfield Fisher

“At work, you think of the children you have left at home. At home, you think of the work you’ve left unfinished. Such a struggle is unleashed within yourself. Your heart is rent.” – Golda Meir

“Making a decision to have a child-it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” – Elizabeth Stone

“Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.” – Lin Yutang

I hope you all have a wonderful day full of as much rest, relaxation and family fun you could wish for!

When I found out that I was pregnant with my second child, I knew that my workload was going to increase. I spent countless hours preparing my son for the arrival of a new baby, stocking the house with diapers and filling the freezer with pre-made meals. Of course, I knew I had some busy days ahead of me. But I had everything under control.

Then I gave birth to a sweet new baby boy and suddenly, nothing was under control. Looking back to that time only a few months ago, I cannot believe how unprepared I was for the demands of two needy children. In between caring for a quickly growing breastfed baby and constantly monitoring an incredibly mischievous preschooler, I discovered that I was constantly on the go from morning until night.

Fortunately, Lindsay Harris, founder of Glow Baby, understands. When Lindsay first faced the difficulties of caring for both a toddler and a newborn, she created a tracking log to keep track of her new baby’s feedings, diaper changes and naps. The log helped her to quickly understand and optimize her new baby’s routine, which in turn left her with more time to care for her oldest child. The tracking log was so effective that she decided to create a similar tool to help parents everywhere adjust to their new baby’s routine. Baby’s First Journal was born.

With handy columns to record feeding, changing, sleeping, vitamins and baths, Baby’s First Journal is a must-have for any parent with a newborn. As well, since the creation of the Baby’s First Journal, Glow Baby has added other organizational tools for busy families. Neat and stylish shopping lists, medicine pads and to do lists are all available.

For older babies, Glow Baby has just introduced the brand new Baby’s First Foods journal. This extremely useful and well-organized book allows parents to record their baby’s introduction to solid foods in order to detect allergies, determine favorite foods and plan menus. The logging sections are divided by grains, veggies, fruits, protiens, dairy and snack, and include a sample page for suggested use. The book even includes sections for favourite recipes and contact numbers.

Glow Baby products are conveniently sized for purses or diaper bags and make a great gift idea for pregnant women or new mothers. Any parent would love these beautiful and useful books.
