Technology runs my world, without my iPhone and MacBook, I wouldn’t be able to work, I wouldn’t be able to stay in contact with family and quite honestly, I would feel so alone in the crazy world of parenting. Becuase of that I want out children to be confident with technology, I want them to know how to work a phone, how to get information from tablets and pcs and I want them to have access to the world, a world full of knowledge and wonder.
That being said, sometimes we all need a reminder to put our phone down. Sometimes I can get so engrossed in relying on social media, shopping, vlogging, taking pictures of the girls and finding new information, that I forget to really see whats right in front of me. I forget that those little things the girls do can so very easily go un-noticed and be soon gone forever.
So when I received an email asking if I would like to review a copy of a book that would remind me just that and offer one to one of my readers as a giveaway, I was so excited and of course said yes.
#BabyLove: My Toddler Life, a curious toddler loves to play… especially with his mommy’s smartphone! When Mommy finds him using her phone without permission, it’s the perfect teaching moment. Mommy reminds her little one that what matters most in life is time together filled with love and attention.
I love how My Toddler Life is a fun story with lots of rhyming (perfect for helping to grown children’s vocabulary), the girls and me sat and read the book and each enjoyed the story. The book didn’;t make me feel guilty for using my phone, it actually made me feel like its okay to take photo and film from the camera, it’s okay to pop onto the apps that I need to use for work, BUT it reminded me to give back time, to take time and put my. phone away and just be in the moment and enjoy those times that go oh-so-fast!
If you love the idea and want to get your hands on a book now, you can head over to the authors, the wonderful Corine Dehghanpisheh’s, site Books By Corine or pop over to Amazon and use my affiliate link –> My Toddler Life
I’m really glad we got to read the book and I’m so excited to be able to give away a copy to one of you too.

This sounds like it could have been written about Robin! We love reading together and I play loads with him but I probably shouldn’t be on my phone as much as I am!
