I can’t believe that I read this book TEN years ago. Seems like a lifetime! I was only 22 when I first read Harry Potter. My husband actually recommended it to me. I was hooked! I don’t care if it makes me a dork. Harry Potter is COOL. And once again, I find myself a decade older, celebrating that Harry Potter is turning 10!

HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE

The wickedly funny debut novel from master storyteller J.K. Rowling tells the story of Harry Potter who, having endured 11 miserable years with his hideous aunt and uncle, is invited on his 11th birthday to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  There he learns of his distinguished wizard pedigree—and his frightening destiny.

Ok, ladies, it’s time shut off the football (or baseball) game and pass the laptop (or move the desktop screen) over to your hubbies. This book is for them. Although, I’ve paged through it and it is a pretty hilarious read for us women, too.

Dudes, do you hear your pregnant lady while she’s talking on the phone to her girlfriends and words come up like, episiotomy, hormones and mucous plug? Now you don’t have to live in the dark.

ABCs for Expectant DADS is a no-nonsense resource guide for guys who are about to become a baby daddy in the near future, as well as newbie baby daddies who are sleep deprived and there is nowhere else to turn. Show your woman that you “care” about what she’s going through.

Believe me, you are going to WANT to have this guide near you at all times. She will be so impressed with you when you can use words like “registry” and “epidural” and it actually seems like you know what you’re talking about.

This guide is not frighteningly long like the very detailed pregnancy resource books that are geared toward women. Come on, we know that you guys don’t want all that information. Todd Lieman does a fantastic job of narrowing down the information overload of said resources. He tells it like it is, just the way you want to hear it. He points out the obvious and garsh dernit, we like that about him. Todd writes about “stuff” at Life & Times of a New Dad. He is the dad blogger over at Family Education. He has one or two other blogs, as well as contributing to Daddy Daze. Todd may get around on the internet but let us assure you, he is very committed to his family.

You can also hear Todd on the DADSonFIRE podcast. Yep, the one that my husband and I participated in last week. You can listen/download the recorded episode by clicking HERE. Our suggestion is to bookmark Todd and Wank at DADSonFIRE.com because, well, they’re just pretty swell guys.

Well, gentlemen, we didn’t keep you around for THIS long for nothing…

WIN IT!

The Mums have TWO copies of Todd’s new book, “Go-to Guides for GUYS - ABCs for Expectant DADS” to give away!

To enter: EMAIL us (or have your lady do it) and let us know what the scariest thing is (or was) for you becoming a parent. Because, awww, we know that you have feelings too! It’s ok if you’re a “seasoned” parent, maybe you know someone who is becoming a father that could use this priceless book.

Giveaway ends on Sunday, October 14th at 10 PM CST.

Good luck!
