This review is from: Parent Savvy: Straight Answers to Your Family's Financial, Legal & Practical Questions (Paperback)
This book answers all of the questions you were afraid to ask - or didn't know who to ask - with easy, practical advice. Just when I thought I couldn't read another book about spit-up, sleep deprivation, and the wonders of parenthood - this book came along with its sincerity, honesty, practicality - and what you REALLY need to know when you are expecting... even if it isn't your first baby!

This review is from: Parent Savvy: Straight Answers to Your Family's Financial, Legal & Practical Questions (Paperback)
I found this book to be extremely helpful in answering questions every parent has when it comes to childcare and parenting. There is also excellent legal advice when it comes to children and saving for their future. I will definitely keep it on hand as I get ready to deliver my second baby. I thought it was up there with books like the "What to expect" series and really easy to navigate.

Great parenting book,
This review is from: Parent Savvy: Straight Answers to Your Family's Financial, Legal & Practical Questions (Paperback)
Parent Savvy has been an extremely helpful book for me as I am expecting my second child in just a few weeks. With minimal time on my hands these days I found the information in this book to be clear and concise...it was extremely easy to read and a great book to have on hand as a resource for questions that come up on a daily basis. The book was particularly helpful answering the financial questions that both my husband and I have regarding our childrens' future. I am happy to have found this parenting book to add to my collection I know that I will continue to use it as a reference in years to come.
