Being a mom of four daughters, including a set of twins, I sure could have used “Chaos 2 Calm” many years ago.  Our twins arrived from our third pregnancy so we had already experienced how “easy” one baby at a time was when our “2” arrived.  Not that any of this time in your life is “easy,” but the arrival of 2 or more at a time is one wild roller-coaster.  Many times people would ask, “How do you do it?” and my response would always be, “You can’t send them back.”  Raising well-mannered, well-composed children is not easy but is so very rewarding.  You will be challenged daily and will need to rise to the occasion; you will never be perfect but should be armed to do your absolute best.

Filled with instructions, charts, product picks and parent how-to, you will learn as Tonia Tomlin says, “Organization plays a much deeper role in family life that what you make initially think.” 

Beginning with “A New Way of Life” and progressing to “The Terrible Twos Times Two” you will be led thru your pregnancy, preparing your home for little ones, baby etiquette, and even eco-friendly baby advice.  “Chaos 2 Calm” is a wonderful book for mothers to be.  You really need all of the information contained between the pages of this book, it will be useful, and should be read long before the baby (or 2) arrival.
