5.0 out of 5 stars
Ready, Set GO with Tonia Tomlin!,
By Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Chaos 2 Calm: The Moms-of-Multiples' Guide to an Organized Family (Book & CD) (Paperback)
Tonia Tomlin's day job is a Professional Organizer, a job that prepared her well for the advent of the incipient birth of a baby, an event that alters life styles of couples time wise, financially, and emotionally (good and bad!). But when that expected child is seen by ultrasound to be more than one (twins, triplets, etc etc) the impact can be staggering. That is where Tomlin's keen sense of organization skills hits the target. In this very well designed book Tomlin takes the concept of birthing more than one baby through multiple phases - not the least of which is the way the parents work as a team from day one (an ultrasound scale of revelation), preparing for togetherness during each trimester to preserve the bond that will likely be tested with the arrival of the 'group'.But Tomlin only begins there, cementing the relationship of the parents by dedication to the concept of extended family unit, and marches us through the responses of friends and family to this news (warnings about gifts and loans are well taken), creating charts of responsibilities for feeding/changing/laundering/tending so that both partners have equal time and responsibilities, shopping lists both before the new ones arrive and supplying the cupboards and refrigerator and diaper supply afterwards, posted lists of contacts important to the care and management of the enlarged family, and nearly endless information about where to find the best bargains for supplies and for personal items. She guides us through the need for keeping journals, so as not to let the days/months/years slip out of memory, and endless copies of forms that the reader would otherwise have to research to find - how to get copies of all birth certificates that are required to enter into plans that many companies and stores have for parents of multiples. In other words Tonia Tomlin lets the shock of multiple births settle by instilling an appreciation of organization of the everyday complexities of coping with the chaos. This is a no nonsense gift of a guide to assist couples in not only dealing with life beyond two, but all the while nurturing the all important lives of the original two - the tired but happy parents. Grady Harp, October 11

Great tool for parents or soon to be parents,
This review is from: Chaos 2 Calm: The Moms-of-Multiples' Guide to an Organized Family (Book & CD) (Paperback)
Getting organized and staying organized in life is hard enough, throw kids in the mix, and its almost impossible. This book would help any family or household get a hold on staying organized and on top of things (when its so easy to get behind). Being a mother of multiples myself, I recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to see the end of cluter and longing for a much more maintainable household.

A must read for any mom,

This review is from: Chaos 2 Calm: The Moms-of-Multiples' Guide to an Organized Family (Book & CD) (Paperback)
Truly, this is a book that any mother can read. It's got info on what every parent needs to do regardless of how many babies you are bringing home, but it also has important info for those of us who were stressed by the fact that God blessed us with more than one baby. I would get for all my pregnant friends, especially those expecting two or more. I also liked the pre-made forms and checklists. Why reinvent the wheel?!
