Motherhood has been the most difficult , but a lso most beautifu l and rewarding season in my life. These 3 books he lped me and inspired me during this transition. During my 20's a friend of mine gave me the first book I enjoyed reading. "The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown" Of course it had to include the L ouvre, my favorite artist and paintings :) I picked a few books after that, but nothing caught my attention as much. Until... I had my first child. I started reading to her since she was born. I always read before nap time, night time and during our mini story times.

I started doing research, and after reading severa l, here they are; the top 3 books that he lped me and inspired me during this transition of becoming a mother.

La transici贸n a Madre ha sido la m谩s dif铆cil pero tambi茅n la m谩s bella en mi vida. Estos tres libros me ayudaron e inspiraron durante esta transici贸n. Cuando ten铆a 20 a帽os, un amigo me regal贸 el primer libro que en realidad devore. “El C贸digo de Da Vinci”, Dan Brown.
