Review: The Mommy M.D. Guide to Pregnancy and Birth

Disclaimer:  I received a copy of the book complimentary in exchange for a review and my honest opinions. As always, my opinions are my own.

Are you expecting a baby soon or know someone who is?  If yes, The Mommy M.D. Guide to Pregnancy and Birth is a must-have! It is very different from most of those pregnancy guides that you see in the bookstores or online.  It is filled with real tips and advice from Rallie McAllister, M.D. and 60 other M.D.'s who are also moms.  You won't find any quackdoodle advice here...just sensible and realistic tips.  I love it. 

The book is set up with one chapter per week of pregnancy plus a few extra chapters of advice for after the birth. It makes it a breeze to find the tips you need related to each stage of pregnancy...ingenious!

I so wish The Mommy M.D. Guide to Pregnancy and Birth had been available back when I was pregnant.  It is full of sage advice that makes sense.  Everything is doable too...like I mentioned the advice masters in this book are moms AND doctors so they know all about the juggling act. 

This book is a great read for any expectant mama to-be.  I have a friend that is contemplating pregnancy soon and I know I will be adding this book to her baby shower gift basket.  It just covers it all from A to Z.   

You get all the clinical facts about the baby’s development and the changes that are taking place week by week plus, you get niblets about good products and brands, calling the doctor and even deciding on knowing or not knowing the baby's sex. The Mommy M.D. Guide to Pregnancy and Birth has 900 plus tips about everything and anything mom and baby.  I learned a lot and it brought back some happy memories of that special time.  I kept thinking, "Darn, I wish I knew that back then!" As I read the book though. Don't miss out, I highly recommend you pick this up for you or as a gift.  

You can check out the Mommy MD Guides website to learn more about the book and the author.  You can also purchase The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth on the website and on Amazon.

Focus Forward Surveys and Focus Groups are Fun and You Get Paid $$

Disclaimer:  This post may contain affiliate links. Regardless, I only share information that I think will be good for my readers. As always, my opinions are my own.

I have done a few studies with Focus Forward over the years and they are always fun. I like helping brands and that is what paid studies and paid focus groups are all about.  Very often you can do the study from the comfort of your own home in an hour or two or sometimes over the course of a few days.  It might be about helping a brand create a new healthy cereal or perhaps freshen up their fashion line. Your opinions mean a lot to brand leaders. You might even log into a private web site or be in on a video or Skype session.

Always fun! You are always well paid anywhere from $75-600. It depends on how much time the study involves. I highly recommend joining the Focus Forward site.  They will send you an email when there might be a good fit. It is a great way to help national brands and to make a little extra money too!

Carib Delights Caribbean Gourmet Cheese Spread {Giveaway} will be a new holiday favorite in your home too @Caribdelights

Disclaimer: I received a sample of Carib Delights complimentary in order to review it. Regardless, my opinions are my own.

I recently had the opportunity to sample a delicious gourmet cheese spread from Carib Delights. I am an adventurous kind of gal and so is my family so I was excited to try it. I have traveled extensively and enjoy a variety of flavors and tastes.  I read that  Carib Delights gourmet cheese spreads were inspired by traditional recipes, found in island nations such as Dominica, Trinidad and Jamaica. I adore Caribbean food so I had a high level of excitement going ahead of time. I was not disappointed. Different and delicious is what Glamamama says.

This cheese spread would be perfect to bring to your next event or set out for your next open house or party in your own home.  It has a unique blend of spices and flavors that really captures you right away. It adds some real personality to your everyday crackers and veggies.

I love that the products are totally handcrafted using natural and wholesome ingredients too. That makes me feel good about serving them to friends and family. Carib Delights has those bold flavors reminiscent of the Caribbean and West Indies and is perfect for recipes or accompanied by crackers, toasts and breads.

There are two yummy varieties to try, Carib Delights Pepper Jack and Carib Delights Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread. I received the Sharp Cheddar variety to sample.  We enjoyed it with a few friends this weekend along with some crackers and a few lovely wines.  My friends and family were all raving about it and asking where I found it.  

The beautiful thing about Carib Delights is that you can also use it as the basis for some creative recipes.  Who doesn't get bored with the same old dishes, night after night?  We all do.  Think about all the yummy recipes you can make with Carib Delights gourmet cheese spread.  Everything from gourmet appetizers to delicious entrees.  The possibilities are endless.

You can find Carib Delights in select gourmet markets in the greater NY area. Check here for a store near you.  Don't forget to follow Carib Delights on Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook to keep up with all the news, promotions and new additions to their product line.  I like to follow my fave brands since they always let the cat out of the bag first to their loyal followers.
